Chiara Camoni
Chiara Camoni (1974, Piacenza) lives and works in a small village in the Apuan Alps. Her practice includes drawing, plant printing, video and above all sculpture, with a particular focus on ceramics. Her works are often the result of collaborations with informal and spontaneous groups, workshops or more institutional seminars. For several years, ‘Il Centro di Sperimentazione’ has supported the artist in the development of projects characterised by shared authorship, further expanding the formats and languages she uses.
Cecilia Canziani
Cecilia Canziani is an art historian and independent curator. Her work focuses on contemporary artistic practice, writing and teaching on contemporary visual culture, and collaboration as a curatorial methodology. She is co-founder of the contemporary art research centre IUNO and of the Les Cerises publishing project for children’s artist’s books. She teaches Phenomenology of Contemporary Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in L’Aquila. Recent exhibition projects include the first institutional retrospective of Linda Fregni Nagler in Italy, organised for the GAM in Turin; the Festival of Foreign Academies and Cultural Institutes at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome; two exhibitions dedicated to Elisa Montessori at the Italian Cultural Institutes in Warsaw and Kraków; Io dico io at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome, and the Anastasia Potemkina exhibition at MAXXI L’Aquila.
