That is when the first<br \/>frosts of autumn are expected.<br \/>I spend those nights in the woods beside the fire, alternating between feverish excitement, sadness and<br \/>tension. The flame dazzles me and I don\u2019t notice it. I listen to the voices of the night while I watch the fire.<br \/>The first ones to betray me are my legs. Only then do I think about what I am doing. Why stare at the fire for<br \/>so long?<br \/>Observing the glow in the dark, I have visions.<br \/>Fire is a powerful hypnotic medium, its movements and heat attract my gaze, taking me to a dimension<br \/>where time and space are forgotten. I am alone and in the company of everything, my body is no longer<br \/>distinct from the environment in which it is immersed.<br \/>I thank the sunset, which turned near and dear into far and strange.<br \/>The sun of the day came disguised as midnight. Something altered and fierce changed everything.<br \/>I can\u2019t tell if the foreboding end of this image causes me fear or admiration, but I suspect both reactions are<br \/>pure and proper.<br \/>The opaque darkness that has spread over the earth makes my senses vibrate. I fantasize about a new<br \/>beginning. Often things appeared upside down, I saw everything with inflamed eyes, a deep melancholy<br \/>was master of me. Now it has passed.<br \/>The wind echoing through the woods calls my soul back, I feel myself being lifted, torn from my world. I<br \/>hear the silent chorus move the flames and weave nature around me.<br \/>I give thanks to the night, which lets me admire while it observes everything.<\/p>\n<p>Look<br \/>Stare at that blind beast<br \/>Only the stars look from above,<br \/>Lights, that don\u2019t judge evil<br \/>Instead<br \/>They feel compassion.<br \/>It remains through out the whole day<br \/>Under a roar<br \/>Of boiling water<br \/>From that source is streams downhill<br \/>What is down pulls you underneath<br \/>It swings,<br \/>Swings as if it were held<br \/>Because the beast is silent,<br \/>But the wind echoes for her<br \/>Because the beast dreams<br \/>But even if it decided to become such<br \/>It decided to close her eyes<br \/>and remain in the dream<br \/>Forever<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d22bba6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"d22bba6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f7f8459 e-con-full e-flex qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f7f8459\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-490b90c e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"490b90c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ccb29a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6ccb29a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">We are proud to say that CASTRO Fellows Jacopo Belloni (Turn #05), Caterina De Nicola (turn #01) and Stefania Carlotti (turns #03\/#04) are been selected to participate to this show at Centre d\u2019Arte Contemporaine, G\u00e8neve.<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1e87b07 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1e87b07\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"602\" src=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/talalala-1024x602.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-9921\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/talalala-1024x602.png 1024w, https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/talalala-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/talalala-768x452.png 768w, https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/talalala-1536x903.png 1536w, https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/talalala.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5083924 e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5083924\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f7ff177 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f7ff177\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>From March 24, the Centre d\u2019Art Contemporain Gen\u00e8ve will present\u00a0<em>Lemaniana. Reflections on other scenes<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 a collective exhibition celebrating the diversity of the contemporary artistic production in the L\u00e9man region.<\/p>\n<p>Resulting from a call for projects made in autumn 2020, Lemaniana proposes to look at the art produced today in the local area from a new perspective. This project aims to free itself of the artist-invitation protocol, inevitably influenced by codes and value judgements stemming from a single curatorial vision.<\/p>\n<p>The call for projects was therefore based on an open conception of the territory, with the aim of bringing together artists of different background who are either temporarily or permanently linked to the cross-border region of the Lake L\u00e9man basin, irrespective of training or education.<br \/>The exhibition will thus allow us to navigate through the universe of numerous artists and multiple practices, bringing to light new connections and opening our gaze to fresh interpretations of the world \u2013 a world deeply shaken by recent events. Current news \u2013 whether we are talking about racism, divergent political powers, gender identity or the pandemic and its confinements \u2013 all infuse the exhibition in different ways and give the project a truly contemporary nature, in which everyone will be reflected.<br \/>As a whole, what emerges is a new and dynamic art scene, one particularly attuned to the contemporary world. Both intergenerational and international, Lemaniana will be at the intersection of creation and ideas in complete harmony with the most important issues of our time. Works by emerging artists will dialogue with those by their established colleagues, or with the work of unknown individuals who have nevertheless dedicated their lives to their practice. Far from simply reflecting current socio-political and cultural developments, the artists presented here assume and embody change. Their practice, often at the juncture of art and politics, forges the sensibilities of tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p><em>Lemaniana<\/em>\u00a0is a proposal by Andrea Bellini, with the collaboration of Mohamed Almusibli, Jill Gasparina and St\u00e9phanie Moisdon. After examining 829 portfolios, they narrowed the field to 58 artist, duos and collectives, aged between 22 and 87 years old, from 20 nations.<br \/>The exhibition will fill all the spaces in the Centre d\u2019Art Contemporain Gen\u00e8ve. It will include the projection of audio-visual works in the Cinema Dynamo, and a programme of performances organized in collaboration with the Arsenic and its director Patrick de Rham, with the aim to be presented in Lausanne during the autumn.<\/p>\n<p>This ambitious project will be accompanied by a richly illustrated exhibition catalogue that will include essays by each of the members of the curatorial committee, as well as a reflection on independent spaces by Roxane Bovet.<\/p>\n<p>With the works of Sonja Aboussouan, Mathilde Agius, Tamara Alegre, J\u00e9r\u00f4me Baccaglio, Lucas Ballester &amp; O\u00e9lia Gouret, James Bantone, Jacopo Belloni, Mabe Beth\u00f4nico, Yann St\u00e9phane Biscaut, Aur\u00e9lie Blanchette Dubois, Vivia Braitano, Francesco Cagnin &amp; Lorenza Longhi, Loucia Carlier, Stefania Carlotti, Salom\u00e9 Chatriot, Adrien Chevalley, Alfredo Coloma, Jeremy Dafflon, Francesco De Bernardi, Caterina De Nicola, Azize Ferizi, F\u00e9lix Gagliardi, Louisa Gagliardi, Annabelle Galland, Gabriele Garavaglia &amp; Miriam Laura Leonardi, Virginia Garra, Elisa Gleize, Deborah Joyce Holman, Lauren Huret, Inner Light, Luc Joly, Kayije Kagame, Monika Emmanuelle Kazi, Shiva Khosravi, Quentin Lannes, Shuang Li, Hunter Longe, \u00a0Soraya Lutangu &amp; Ali-Eddine Abdelkhalek, Evariste Ma\u00efga, Lucia Martinez Garcia, Lou Masduraud, Lamya Moussa, Johanna Odersky, Valentina Parati, Leonardo Pellican\u00f2, Jessy Razafimandimby, Real Madrid, Anouk Reichenbach, Delphine Reist, Diane Rivoire, Christian Schulz, Rose Siebke Winckler, Terat Thanaworrawatniti, Ambroise Ti\u00e8che, Remy Ugarte Vallejos, Marco Walpen, Sarah Watson and Mayara Yamada.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f9a1f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3f9a1f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2db65aa e-con-full e-flex qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2db65aa\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a3da7e e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5a3da7e\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ba367f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0ba367f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">ARTISTS TALK:Rebecca Moccia in conversation with Nicola Lagioia<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-581d45d elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"581d45d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/uW7caRtJK2Q&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!

class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>GM: Some of your most recent paintings on cut board have this floating quality to them, almost as if they have emerged from the tapestry of pre-existing marks on the wall of your in-house studio,\u00a0crystallised\u00a0for a moment like clouds before disappearing again into the fertile ground of weathered domestic surfaces. There is also a feeling of vast space within these \u201ccutouts\u201d because of your use of colour to create perspective, yet the images dissolve into abstraction as soon as we delve too deep.\u00a0<\/b><b>A sort of balance is achieved, as the objects teeter a few\u00a0centimetres\u00a0from the wall, offering themselves up to us as illusionary planes for gazing into.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>The work seems so integrated within its surrounding space that I wonder if you are thinking about different readings emerging from its eventual displacement, especially in relation to a more\u00a0sanitised, traditional art-space with its pristine white walls.<br \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>EC:\u00a0<\/b>Actually, the shapes at first came by themselves as I was working for a friend in a big project where there were a lot of leftover materials that I ended up partly taking back home. I realised that some of the wood trimmings had something that interested me, something that reminded me of scenography and painted shiftable backgrounds. I reused some of these leftovers for a workshop I did at the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.macroasilo.it\/media\/gli-atelier-macro-asilo-dal-16-al-21-luglio-2019\"><i>Macro<\/i><\/a>, later realizing that something had missed the point : the shapes themselves were the object of attention and the formal investigation didn\u2019t feel resolved. Now I\u2019m taking similar shapes and asking them to act like supports for these imaginary vistas, and it\u2019s pushing me to explore painting for the first time. This is my first venture from sculpture to more two dimensional concerns and I am really aware of how much I don\u2019t know about the preoccupations and history of this medium, let alone the implications of a shift of context in relation to the objects I am creating. What I do know is that I\u2019m much more comfortable painting inside the borders of these shapes than I would be within the constraints of a more traditional squared support.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the surface area seems small for these illusionary images, I am interested in that difficulty, where some things are revealed and others are not. I like the idea that maybe the borders of the image are closing and the viewer is taking some last glances at her surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of the wall-markings and how they affect my work, my studio is full of these marks, even some drawings done sometime in the 20th\u00a0century by somebody who added a wallpaper to the room, which I later removed with my flatmate. All of these scratches come from different actions from all these people I didn\u2019t meet, and sometimes I feel the desire to spend an infinite amount of time studying them and their complex morphologies, trying to guess what caused them. Maybe in a parallel life I could have recorded them all and spent my whole life\u00a0organising\u00a0them by similitudes, by isomorphic growths, by differences. The fact is they are part of my daily reality and without even knowing it, I absorb them.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

revealed, something ominous always lurking, veiled yet in plain sight. The smoke-like wispy quality of the higher and lower edges of these works jolts me away from a comfortable appreciation of what is being depicted into a state of soft vigilance. Something doesn\u2019t feel quite right, the painting is too precariously placed, the edges so thin they are almost blades. Of course, this is only my interpretation. Could you shed some light on your own thought process connecting the supports to the painted scenes?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><b>EC:\u00a0<\/b>Actually in a way I think you are right about the sharpness and precarious edges, I never thought about it in this way. The reason I ended up here is that by looking at the leftover scraps from the job I was working on for my friend Leonard, I noticed the quality that this wooden material had to make a clear line when cut; it had the neatness of a precise drawing or the edge of a piece of paper. That\u2019s what interested me at first. I am pairing up the sharp line of the borders of the piece with the out-of-focus painted inside to create a contrast that starts to do something\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The way I see these works is similar to the situation of being in a conversation with someone when everything makes perfect sense and it starts to get a bit boring and you both feel like you have something else to say but can\u2019t quite break the fluidity of sense \u2013 and then suddenly you feel an image or a memory or a joke hitting you that needs to be vocalised. There is the incursion of this urgent\u00a0<em>something<\/em>\u00a0that once is out there searches for somewhere to land. When the other person doesn\u2019t receive it or understand it, this\u00a0<i>thing<\/i>\u00a0floats in the air \u2013 a\u00a0<i>gaffe,\u00a0<\/i>a blunder.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a part of a book by\u00a0<i>Adam Philip\u2019s<\/i>\u00a0called\u00a0<i>Attention Seeking (2019)<\/i>\u00a0that I\u2019ve been reading recently where he talks about the\u00a0<i>gaffe<\/i>\u00a0as an unreceived and perhaps unwelcome message that has entered the conversation very suddenly, (or maybe I\u2019m confusing myself with Gilles Deleuze\u2019s documentary \u201cfrom A to Z\u201d). Not that these paintings are jokes, but I am hoping to make them act in a similar way, as disruptive devices that intervene within a room like a gaffe intercedes a tranquil sentence, if that makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve also been thinking about renaissance palas or orthodox icons in relation to this body of work, for being both serious and funny objects to me. The serious thing is that they have to be portable devices for painting, because canvases hadn\u2019t been invented yet. If calamity hit for example, you had to be able to quickly pack these up and bring them with you, as they were also believed to be of great spiritual importance.\u00a0 Although the function of these objects was quite strict, the idea of these paintings being carried around like portable devices for some kind of other dimension makes me laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>GM<\/b>:\u00a0<b>They are also like speech bubbles gone wrong, in a very obvious cartoon-like way. It\u2019s almost like you collect all these moments that haven\u2019t hit home, which perhaps explains the feeling of uncomfortableness, of awkwardness, of something too personal or too true and sincere that has emerged when no one wants to hear about it or finds it minimally amusing. These works also feel like solid failed metaphors, like physical anecdotes gone askew. They speak of humour perhaps but maybe a sort of humour lost \u2013 the tracings of a story\u00a0between people that has been launched, looks for someone to receive it but pathetically runs<\/b><b>\u00a0out of steam before it does.<\/b>\u00a0<b>I also like this image that if something happens, you have to take all your paintings and\u00a0<\/b><b><i>run<\/i><\/b><b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>EC<\/strong>: HA, Yes exactly<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d12ccfa elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"d12ccfa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;columns&quot;:2,&quot;overlay_description&quot;:&quot;caption&quot;,&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_widescreen&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;3:2&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/0-1024x574-1.png\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"d12ccfa\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"0-1024x574\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6OTk1NSwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2Nhc3Ryb3Byb2plY3RzLml0XC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8wNFwvMC0xMDI0eDU3NC0xLnBuZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6ImQxMmNjZmEifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/0-1024x574-1-300x168.png\" data-width=\"300\" data-height=\"168\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDetails of drawings in mood board.

What have been the visual and written references surrounding the making of these works?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>EC:\u00a0<\/b>I prepare the supports before, starting from drawings and then projecting the shapes on the wood. I then stare at them for a lot of time and at some point I just give up and start reading something blandly related or I sketch or I look for things. And then days or weeks go by and one day I feel like I can enter the image, and then without much planning I try to be with the situation I am painting. The moments where I apparently work the hardest are very sparse in comparison to the majority of the time that I spend reading, doing nothing and feeling very frustrated in the studio.

I am fascinated by her dry and sharp writing style and the way she approaches her characters, describing individuals, their relationships and how they coexist with both their close social group and the larger power structures during, before and straight after the war. Perhaps, beyond really liking her testimony as a writer, I am finding it poignant that she seems to be describing the beginning of a time that many feel is coming to an end right now.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0Website:<\/b>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.eugeniocarabba.com\/\">www.eugeniocarabba.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Eugenio Carabba is also involved in a project of art fabrication that connects and facilitates the work between different industrial and artisanal productive centres of the Lazio region to art\/design related projects in Italy.

Some of these works are like train windows or curved airplane windows. There is the idea of something speeding supersonically by \u2013 yet a suspended sense of stillness is maintained. The images are visibly also objects; with their rounded top edges. The eye is pulled into the composition at the horizon line, but the unfocused flatness of the surface creates a state of fluctuation, gently pushing the gaze back into the world. I wonder where these works come from and what relation they have with their source material, if they are for you an act of\u00a0internalising\u00a0a vast landscape or perhaps the\u00a0externalisation\u00a0of an inner feeling, or both.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>JH:<\/strong>\u00a0The paintings came from the immediate landscape outside the studio. They were initially done as a way of engaging more directly with the environment here in rural Italy,\u00a0where I live, through observation and colour sampling between August to December of last year. The long depth you get with the horizontal field draws you in like you said, but hopefully the fact that they are presented as multiples evidences the spaces between them as much as the visual space created within each one. I am more interested in this area between and around the pieces and in the physical quality of the paintings as objects than in the idea of a series of illusionistic landscapes. I think this is because I\u2019m trying to create the feeling of a much larger field of painting where these are only a few fragments. The more paintings there are, the larger the horizon becomes.<\/p>\n<p>The form of the landscape, using it as an image, a framework from which to work \u2013 is useful because it references windows, which are a sort of favourite source-material for me at the moment. I like the fact that when you think of a window it\u2019s an object in itself, but you also use it to see outside. It may sound obvious but sometimes you forget this, and I work to try and point out the material qualities of the object before you can \u2018see through it\u2019. This is why the edges are curved, to disturb the illusionary plane and to create a back and forth between the two readings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GM: Are these finished?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>JH:<\/strong>\u00a0The images themselves are finished as individual parts; the display mechanism not yet.<br \/>I need to understand how to hang them, in terms of the separation from each other in order to potentialise their in-between spaces. I\u2019m thinking a lot about Judd and Irwin, the relationship between the art object and its environment. I\u2019m asking myself if whether to appreciate the work it\u2019s better to activate the environment, rigorously controlling it, or if a painting can be introduced that changes the environment simply by being in it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GM: This is the first time I see you working in fragments, expanding this modular way of making into the curation of your work. You are creating an environment without having to physically modify the whole environment, unlike what you did for the\u00a0<em>Soft Furnishing<\/em>\u00a0installatory exhibition<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>in S\u00e3o Paulo (2019). There you showed these meticulous gradient paintings with tiles to match them on the floor and wallpaper made especially for the pieces lining the gallery. Interestingly, it became really difficult to remove those objects once they had been contextualized in that setting. The problem was you were still trying to present them as individual pieces afterwards, and they had acquired a sort of \u2018aura\u2019 whilst being in that space. The other opposite would be your rain-room installation\u00a0<em>Spring \/ Horizon<\/em>\u00a0for the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultrise.com\/\">CultRise<\/a>\u00a0<em>Aurore<\/em>\u00a0group show in Rome (2017), a whole experiential environment without a single loose item. I\u2019m wondering if you often think about where the work is going to be shown when you make it and how much of that kind of thinking has shaped these investigations of single object VS installation in the last three years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d6543e elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"5d6543e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;columns&quot;:2,&quot;overlay_description&quot;:&quot;caption&quot;,&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_widescreen&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;3:2&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-04-08-at-11.26.26.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"5d6543e\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Screenshot-2020-04-08-at-11.26.26\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6OTk2NywidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2Nhc3Ryb3Byb2plY3RzLml0XC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8wNFwvU2NyZWVuc2hvdC0yMDIwLTA0LTA4LWF0LTExLjI2LjI2LmpwZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6IjVkNjU0M2UifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-04-08-at-11.26.26-300x197.jpg\" data-width=\"300\" data-height=\"197\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSoft Furnishing, Installation Shot, LAMB S\u00e3o Paulo, 2019 Oil on Paper on Plywood with Custom Wallpaper and Printed Tiles\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-04-08-at-11.24.23-1024x538-1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"5d6543e\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Screenshot-2020-04-08-at-11.24.23-1024x538\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6OTk2NSwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2Nhc3Ryb3Byb2plY3RzLml0XC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8wNFwvU2NyZWVuc2hvdC0yMDIwLTA0LTA4LWF0LTExLjI0LjIzLTEwMjR4NTM4LTEuanBnIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiNWQ2NTQzZSJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-04-08-at-11.24.23-1024x538-1-300x158.jpg\" data-width=\"300\" data-height=\"158\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExcerpt from Spring \/ Horizon, documentation video on artist\u2019s website Plaster, Steel, Wood, Plasterboard with Irrigation System, 2017\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09734b8 e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"09734b8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5810281 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5810281\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b><span lang=\"EN-US\">JH:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0I find this a very interesting dilemma.

In the row to the right, the rectangular images seem to want to wiggle away, there is something humorous, flag-like, sensual about them, maybe in relation to the more sober left column. Modifying their form shifts the narrative of the work, these wavy pieces seem much more energetic and sculptural than their rectangular counterparts. I wanted to know more about how these works responded to each other and how you are thinking about the integration of sculpture and painting in your practice.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>JH:<\/strong>\u00a0These all emerged as the original studies of the larger\u00a0<em>Landskip\u00a0<\/em>series. The more rectangular pieces are read as horizon lines and let your eye recede into the picture plane. The ones on the right were treated as if the light and darker tones were high and low points on a piece of sculpture, as if light was falling across a curved form, which is accentuated by cutting the paper. The relation you have with the work becomes much closer and it becomes more immediate within your realm of palpability. Again, it\u2019s that play of trying to evidence the object whilst also providing the illusion of a deep landscape. I am increasingly looking for these multiple depths working together on a single plane.<\/p>\n<p>I am also thinking about digital screens here and how\u00a0the images that they display seem to have a certain fluid quality to them. Even if materially we know the screen is solid, the image on the screen of a plasma television seems to lose all sense of \u2018objectness\u2019. I think painting holds the solidity of the image much more, and the cut-out forms of the support of these works forces you to relate to them both as images and also as objects in the room. The image then becomes inextricably linked to the painting\u2019s own sculptural form. I think overall I\u2019m trying to see what happens when illusionary images also function as projections of their underlying structures, and exploring ways to make apparent their material-object origins.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2013\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>James Hillman in represented by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lamb-arts.com\/\"><em>Lamb Arts<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and is currently showing a piece through the Royal Scottish Academy\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rsaannualexhibition.org\/artists\/172-james-hillman\/works\/\">annual exhibition<\/a>\u00a0now online due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Website:<\/strong>\u00a0www.hilmmanjames.co.uk<br \/><strong>IG:<\/strong>\u00a0jmshillman<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15d8c28 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"15d8c28\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23920f8 e-con-full e-flex qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"23920f8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fbd0ace e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"fbd0ace\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f0dc1c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3f0dc1c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Maximalism, Modularity <br >&  Seemingly Futile Laborious Processes<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67b8114 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"67b8114\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Giulia Mangoni presents INTERVIEWS FROM LOCKDOWN: #3 <br >A remote conversation with artist and curator Jacquelyn Strycker<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6df40b4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"6df40b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;columns&quot;:2,&quot;overlay_description&quot;:&quot;caption&quot;,&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_widescreen&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;3:2&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-03-28-at-15.15.00-982x1024-1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"6df40b4\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Screenshot-2020-03-28-at-15.15.00-982x1024\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6OTk3NCwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2Nhc3Ryb3Byb2plY3RzLml0XC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8wNFwvU2NyZWVuc2hvdC0yMDIwLTAzLTI4LWF0LTE1LjE1LjAwLTk4MngxMDI0LTEuanBnIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiNmRmNDBiNCJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-03-28-at-15.15.00-982x1024-1-768x801.jpg\" data-width=\"768\" data-height=\"801\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tQuilted Medley.

It\u2019s as if these works refuse to recede completely into the role of being decorative objects for a wall in a domestic setting. You move between quilted paper landscapes and more minimal, subtle interventions through works like\u00a0<em>Folded Grids.\u00a0<\/em>This\u00a0oscillation reinforces my reading of your pieces as meditations between dualities,\u00a0elegance and vulgarity, \u2018high\u2019 and \u2018low\u2019 art, as well as notions of women\u2019s work in relation to the history of abstraction in a capitalist system of commodification. Can you talk us through the processes behind these different two-dimensional works?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>JS:\u00a0<\/strong>The\u00a0<em>Patchwork<\/em>\u00a0series is about maximalism\u2013thinking about excess, taking the decorative and pushing the limits of it in each piece. I use a lot of 70\u2019s fabric patterns and look at a lot of vintage quilting magazines for inspiration and the specific ways that those patterns come together. When I\u2019m layering all these patterns from different sources on top of each other, I kind of imagine working like a confined housewife who is just \u201cgoing for it\u201d. She has no sense of an \u201cappropriate\u201d place to stop and does not care about what the pattern-book says. She does not exercise any restraint. What results is an image where all these different patterns kind of throw up on each other. It is both beautiful and vulgar, they are a little \u2018too much\u2019 at times, not giving your eyes a place to rest. They are meant to be overwhelming in that way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GM:\u200b This is exactly what I meant with the word vulgar, as the opposite of taste when taste is something that lets you rest, lets your eyes recede into the picture plane, and brings calm into your home. You create something that is alluring and feels like one whole image but then it disrupts your gaze into fragments, causing an irritation that sparks thought.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>JS:\u200b<\/strong>\u00a0The play with taste is very important. The\u00a0<em>Folded Grids\u00a0<\/em>series, on the other hand, is an exercise in restraint, but also very much related to the\u00a0<em>Patchwork<\/em>\u00a0series in the idea of a futile or unnecessary labor involving outdated technologies. With\u00a0<em>Folded Grids<\/em>, I used the Risograph machine to print onto fabric, which you are not really supposed to do. I had paper-backed fabric that I ran one sheet at a time \u2013 a totally inefficient way of using this already dated technology.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, I started off by hand drawing and painting these grids, scanning them in, doing the colour separation on photoshop, then printing them through the risograph onto the fabric-backed paper. Once I was at this stage, I put these back into the scanner and fold them into different shapes,\u00a0<em>THEN<\/em>\u00a0I did new colour separations and printed them out again. Some of these were mismatches from two separate versions and the folds don\u2019t really align on purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Long story short: it\u2019s about absurdity, even though that might not be entirely visible when you see them online. There\u2019s just a ridiculous amount of work involved in making the final product, similar to a lot of crafting at home these days, whether that\u2019s knitting a sweater, or making your own cheese. But that unnecessary labour attaches itself to the object in some way.\u00a0When you look at them there\u2019s a confusion about what it is you are looking at\u2013paper, fabric, or a digitalized rendition of both. And there\u2019s a sort of humour for me regarding the amount of work taken to make this simple, little, restrained, folded modernist grid.\u00a0I\u2019m still working out how I want to show them best and trying to figure out how I can bring in the story of their process curatorially, perhaps even including the original printed fabric .<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf74c72 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"bf74c72\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;columns&quot;:2,&quot;overlay_description&quot;:&quot;caption&quot;,&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_widescreen&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;3:2&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strycker_Jacquelyn_01.jpeg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"bf74c72\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Strycker_Jacquelyn_01\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6OTk3OCwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2Nhc3Ryb3Byb2plY3RzLml0XC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8wNFwvU3RyeWNrZXJfSmFjcXVlbHluXzAxLmpwZWciLCJzbGlkZXNob3ciOiJiZjc0YzcyIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strycker_Jacquelyn_01-300x285.jpeg\" data-width=\"300\" data-height=\"285\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMIXED TAPES | MIXT TAPES Installation Shot\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-03-28-at-15.51.43.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"bf74c72\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Screenshot-2020-03-28-at-15.51.43\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6OTk4MCwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2Nhc3Ryb3Byb2plY3RzLml0XC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8wNFwvU2NyZWVuc2hvdC0yMDIwLTAzLTI4LWF0LTE1LjUxLjQzLmpwZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6ImJmNzRjNzIifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-03-28-at-15.51.43-300x291.jpg\" data-width=\"300\" data-height=\"291\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDrink With Me, Participatory Project\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa489f2 e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"aa489f2\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21e7866 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"21e7866\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>\u201cThe project, developed while a Gaia Studio Wonder Women resident, and realized at Gallery Aferro, brings together food and music.

I was wondering how you transitioned from individual studio-based work to work that verges on social practice, and how you deal with the shifting value systems between both?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>JS:<\/strong>\u00a0I think the works are all related. The work on paper is looking at patterns referencing the domestic and excess and this sort of celebratory excess of domesticity, instead of hiding it \u2013 and that\u2019s also what is happening with the more community oriented relational projects. And in both there is always a play with the structures of labour.<\/p>\n<p>So with\u00a0<em>Drink With Me<\/em>, I used flat origami patterns to make a cup, the idea was that I didn\u2019t fold them for people, if you wanted a drink of water or wine, you had to fold your own cup from the pack. The whole event revolved around the act of folding one\u2019s own cup, which pointed again at this idea of absurd labour. The cups were also a bit too small and quite awkward to hold, and the fact that people had to figure out how to make their cup didn\u2019t add to the functionality of these objects as temporary liquid holders.<\/p>\n<p>The first time they were shown, I had a GIF showing the cup being folded as an instruction that played on a loop. Later there was concern that the video or GIF wouldn\u2019t be enough for people to follow the steps correctly, even though the whole challenge and frustration and eventual spread of the \u2018successful\u2019 way of folding these cups was entirely the point of the whole experience.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, the second time I showed them, I stood for the entire opening folding and unfolding the same cup. Some people of course still didn\u2019t get it and created their own cone mechanism and had to drink as fast as possible to try and not get wine or water on their clothes. So as a piece, it\u2019s meant to be frustrating and funny and to bring people together.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5c6203 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"d5c6203\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;columns&quot;:2,&quot;overlay_description&quot;:&quot;caption&quot;,&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_widescreen&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;3:2&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-03-28-at-16.05.36-1024x684-1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"d5c6203\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Screenshot-2020-03-28-at-16.05.36-1024x684\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6OTk4MiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2Nhc3Ryb3Byb2plY3RzLml0XC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8wNFwvU2NyZWVuc2hvdC0yMDIwLTAzLTI4LWF0LTE2LjA1LjM2LTEwMjR4Njg0LTEuanBnIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiZDVjNjIwMyJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-03-28-at-16.05.36-1024x684-1-300x200.jpg\" data-width=\"300\" data-height=\"200\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPROGI Installation Shot of pierogi about to be cooked.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-03-28-at-16.06.00-1024x677-1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"d5c6203\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Screenshot-2020-03-28-at-16.06.00-1024x677\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6OTk4NCwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2Nhc3Ryb3Byb2plY3RzLml0XC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8wNFwvU2NyZWVuc2hvdC0yMDIwLTAzLTI4LWF0LTE2LjA2LjAwLTEwMjR4Njc3LTEuanBnIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiZDVjNjIwMyJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-03-28-at-16.06.00-1024x677-1-300x198.jpg\" data-width=\"300\" data-height=\"198\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPROGI Installation Shot of \u2018bingo\u2019 cards.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-505bf58 e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"505bf58\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-645c510 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"645c510\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>\u201cPROGI is BINGO night meets pierogi dinner in the form of a participatory art event.

I grew up eating and making pierogi. In America, at least, there\u2019s this tradition of churches hosting BINGO games in their basements, and I got it in my head that I wanted to have a Bingo game meets pierogi dinner in the basement of the Polish church. So I made these Bingo cards that had \u2018progi\u2019 written on them instead of \u2018bingo\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>With the quilted works on paper there\u2019s something systematic\u2013geometrical, mathematical, like a set \u00a0of indecipherable hieroglyphs collected and displayed. With the\u00a0<em>Progi Bingo<\/em>\u00a0project this was also the case \u2013 generating the numbers for the grids was both systematic and disruptive. I ended up giving a bunch of these cards to different artists who I knew so they could alter them as they wanted, through drawing, printing, painting and collage, returning these cards for the actual bingo game. In the event, each person at the table had bingo blotters, (fat markers pens), which meant people were drawing on top of the drawings, turning the original pieces into a cumulative, collaborative thing.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime I was cooking in the basement and struggling because the pierogi was all falling apart. A friend of mine had to come to my rescue! Her family owned a Chinese restaurant and she taught me how to make them the way you do dumplings. So an amazing turn of events saved the day. This friend also acted as the bingo caller, calling out the prizes, and overall it became a really fun, unscripted event\u2013different and better than what I could have imagined.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ca8b92 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"0ca8b92\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;columns&quot;:2,&quot;overlay_description&quot;:&quot;caption&quot;,&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_widescreen&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;3:2&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-03-28-at-16.31.42-1024x1013-1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"0ca8b92\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Screenshot-2020-03-28-at-16.31.42-1024x1013\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6OTk4NiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2Nhc3Ryb3Byb2plY3RzLml0XC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8wNFwvU2NyZWVuc2hvdC0yMDIwLTAzLTI4LWF0LTE2LjMxLjQyLTEwMjR4MTAxMy0xLmpwZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6IjBjYThiOTIifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-03-28-at-16.31.42-1024x1013-1-300x297.jpg\" data-width=\"300\" data-height=\"297\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tImages courtesy of artist\u2019s Instagram\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-03-28-at-16.35.01-1016x1024-1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"0ca8b92\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Screenshot-2020-03-28-at-16.35.01-1016x1024\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6OTk4OCwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2Nhc3Ryb3Byb2plY3RzLml0XC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8wNFwvU2NyZWVuc2hvdC0yMDIwLTAzLTI4LWF0LTE2LjM1LjAxLTEwMTZ4MTAyNC0xLmpwZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6IjBjYThiOTIifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-03-28-at-16.35.01-1016x1024-1-298x300.jpg\" data-width=\"298\" data-height=\"300\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tImages courtesy of artist\u2019s Instagram\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff82169 e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ff82169\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee86a8f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ee86a8f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>GM\u200b: Going back 180\u00b0 to your two-dimensional work, I am very interested in your new modular experiments, where you have been mounting paper on board and creating cut-outs with flaps that open up like advent-calendars. They seem to offer themselves up to touch, use and re-arrangement, and I wonder if you have been influenced by your daughter Poppy and the relationship children have with craft and with playing.<a href=\"applewebdata:\/\/37C1C62C-8B5F-4965-AB01-E695AAB915B4#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>JS\u200b<\/strong>: Actually, I\u2019ve been thinking a lot about this: Poppy is always making these assemblages with anything she can find, even using a projector that we have for the TV connected to the Internet. She knows how to turn it on and move it and point it towards different angles, and in this sense she seems more technologically advanced than me in my investigations! But it\u2019s definitely influenced what I\u2019m doing. I\u2019ve been thinking a lot about building blocks and tangrams, those specific sets of shapes that you can move to make other shapes, dominoes and matching cards, things that you can keep shuffling around. There is an element of play there that is influenced by kid crafts and kid games.<\/p>\n<p>The modularity of this work has been important for me. Raising a child in a small Brooklyn apartment, and not having an external studio for a while, I had to make work that I could mount and dismount, that I could tile together to make something larger, and then pack up and put away in a box. Now I have a studio because Poppy\u2019s in Pre-K, which helps a lot \u2013 but at this very moment where we are all at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I am back home and in the world of modularity.<\/p>\n<p>I was definitely thinking about advent calendars with the new works on paper, and I\u2019ve been toying with the idea of putting something edible inside these too. Or those origami \u201ccootie catchers\u201d that you make as a kid. Maybe I need to make some really crazy ridiculously ornate cootie catcher work to combat the corona madness.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013<\/p>\n<p><strong>Website:<\/strong>\u00a0www.thestrycker.com<\/p>\n<p><strong>IG:<\/strong>\u00a0thestrycker<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bbc8572 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"bbc8572\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac3f01d e-con-full e-flex qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ac3f01d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d632d94 e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d632d94\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f90a550 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f90a550\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Gender, Domesticity & the Idealised Wildness of Nature<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b1a2ef3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b1a2ef3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Giulia Mangoni presents INTERVIEWS FROM LOCKDOWN: #2 <br>A remote conversation with artist Sarah G.

I started working with LIFE magazines from the 1960\u2019s and early 1970\u2019s, which introduced these revolutionary ideas into the normative American home. \u00a0I was especially interested in opening and disrupting the original documentation of these movements so as to make evident the complications and interconnections between utopian ideas and their re-insertion into mainstream culture.<\/p>\n<p>Through the hand-embroidered diagrams and threaded interventions I wanted to remove, obscure or draw attention to certain incongruencies of class and gender that seeped through in these images of the struggle for Utopia; especially ideas of \u201cnaturalness\u201d reinforcing gender roles.<\/p>\n<p>Autobiographically speaking, my dad was part of the counterculture and lived on a commune in the 1960\u2019s, but then became a fundamentalist Christian. I was actually brought up in his fundamentalist Christian church in the 80\u2019s. I am part of a generation, especially growing up on the west coast of the US, whose parents created and participated in these countercultural practices and spaces. So, I was also thinking about the gap between his lived experience and my understanding of his history and the counterculture. Media narratives kind of \u201cfilled in\u201d those gaps for me during a childhood that was super-saturated with christianity and a lot of fear around non-traditional ways of living. My work draws on a kind of re-interpretation of the religious iconography and the geometric patterns that could be both DIY instruction manuals for self-sustained living and mystical annotations.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2646cff elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2646cff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"713\" height=\"494\" src=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/3ad09cfdd477eb4e753c15b2585fbb44.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-9997\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/3ad09cfdd477eb4e753c15b2585fbb44.jpeg 713w, https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/3ad09cfdd477eb4e753c15b2585fbb44-300x208.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 713px) 100vw, 713px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Page 16 to 17 of Understanding Whole Systems, Artist\u2019s Book, 2016<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af20ed5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"af20ed5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"561\" src=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-03-21-at-21.09.04-1024x748-1-768x561.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-9999\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-03-21-at-21.09.04-1024x748-1-768x561.jpg 768w, https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-03-21-at-21.09.04-1024x748-1-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-03-21-at-21.09.04-1024x748-1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Screen shot from Finding our Place in Space\nFull Length: 11 minutes, 2017<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e24e7d7 e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e24e7d7\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b07a3ce elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b07a3ce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><i>\u201cIn 1975 NASA sent two rovers (Viking I and II) to Mars to survey the planet\u2019s surface.

The Viking Landers photographed the surface of Mars for the first time, as part of the \u201csearch for life\u201d in space. I was interested in how these extraordinary efforts that seemed to belong to all mankind, and these smaller collective actions emerged from the same place; a recognition that human interaction with the Earth, and western society as it stood, would eventually become unsustainable. Humans were beginning to realize they might need another plan, and I wanted to explore these two extreme branches by placing them alongside each other. Would the future of mankind be best served by space travel and living on Mars or the abandonment of cities and moving to self-run alternative communities? These were answers at two different scales and born out of different sets of priorities, but with common underlying contexts. I was especially interested in the value and importance of land itself in these two solutions, both in space and on earth, in light of American foundational history and the associations between land and power. For NASA, colonization of another planet, and therefore new land to live on, was a distant hopeful goal. For the women of OWL, land ownership represented a kind of potential sovereignty and new self-governed social structure.<\/p>\n<p>Reading the actual minutes of the founding of the Women\u2019s Land in the video and using open source images made by women of the Land Trust were really important for that video piece, letting the narrative that was already there come through and reframe these other narratives produced by Nasa.<\/p>\n<p>I think there is feminist historiography, which started to be broadly framed and recorded in the 70s, in regards to reworking history, and then gained a space in academia and other kinds of publishing. But, I am most interested in not putting \u201ca circle\u201d around a specific kind of historiography or method of collecting and passing on history so as not to remove it from other historical narratives. It is pivotal instead to re-attach them, to cognize the different histories and to situate them in relation to larger narratives. It is, of course, important that communities produce their own historiography and for these narratives to be centered on people\u2019s experiences, but I am most interested in how these histories overlap, bleed into each other and are invariably intersected with each other.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"applewebdata:\/\/1B795F8D-EAC3-4BF9-AAE2-20B993C87F53#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a><em>\u00a0For full 11 minutes of \u2018Finding our Place in Space\u2019, click \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/274557792\/a96550977b\">here.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f162b57 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f162b57\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/8957e40984069fc5d28f308c24c9c7fb-768x1024-1.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-10001\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/8957e40984069fc5d28f308c24c9c7fb-768x1024-1.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/8957e40984069fc5d28f308c24c9c7fb-768x1024-1-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Volume I: Tool Book\nBook, 6\u2033 x 8\u2033, 2017<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8b28a64 e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8b28a64\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-660e8a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"660e8a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>\u201cThe Tool Book Project is a semi-annual publication that showcases art, writing, dialogue and critical discourse from an international group of artists and cultural producers.

As I was conducting research in various archives of underground newspapers and radical literature, I thought about how these communities that were linked to small-scale publications sent through the mail were less rhizomatic in growth and you could trace how they grew. These publications represented a smaller, perhaps more civil example of what media scholars might call \u201cthe many speaking to the many\u2019, as opposed to the \u201cfew speaking to the many\u201d in mass media. Now we live in a media culture where \u201cthe many speak to the many\u201d in a way that can be overwhelming; where there is no editorial voice, for better or worse, and we have bots and trolls that interfere in our localised and communal discussions from decontextualised places.<\/p>\n<p>My series\u00a0<em>Whole Earth Systems<\/em>\u00a0relies on ideas and imagery derived from various volumes of\u00a0<em>The Whole Earth Catalog<\/em>. Prior to this catalogue, which was first published by artist Stewart Brand in 1968, you may have had to seek out multiple sources, catalogues, or stores to find what you needed to live off of the land and be intellectually engaged. In this publication you could find DIY instructions, goods and tools from the most practical, (how to farm the land) to the most esoteric, (how to read auras). It followed this very utopian dream of the era, that if you could educate yourself and build your own tools you could have your own world. This was, in itself, rife with problems. For one, the detachment and disconnection from pre-existing social structures and communities.<\/p>\n<p>So, after the 2016 election I decided to start\u00a0<em>The Tool Book Project<\/em>\u00a0as my own offer of a publication-space for tool-sharing and empowerment\/consolation for artists and writers.We also organized readings, panel discussions, gallery shows and different sorts of community engaged events. The profits go to social justice and environmental justice non-profits, which I worried would lose all their funding due to the Trump administration. We have just published the third iteration now, and I can say that I am not interested in being an architect of a new community, I am interested in giving the resources that I have to make a space where we can connect, and to really engage with the communities that already exist.I personally think all art practice has a purpose and you don\u2019t have to become a socially engaged artist if that\u2019s not what you are trained or attuned to do. I think if you have purely formal or aesthetic concerns it has great value. So through The Tool Book Project, you can still do what you do and in the meantime part of your work can help fund all these amazing organisations that work ethically and with experience in their own communities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"applewebdata:\/\/37C1C62C-8B5F-4965-AB01-E695AAB915B4#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<em>The Toolbook Project Instagram is now active in a \u2018Social Distancing Tool Share\u2019 experience, open to takeovers by artists and contributors to share their studio work, information about cancelled shows and lectures, tools and commiserations due to recent\/current pandemic.

So, I was conducting this research and thinking about how it might be translated into textile and mixed-media works.<\/p>\n<p>When I\u2019m working in Baltimore, where I teach, or when I\u2019m doing artist residencies in rural areas, I end up going to commercial fabric stores, often one called Joanne\u2019s Fabrics, for studio materials. I had this ongoing experience of encountering this gender encoded place, where women who have domestic, craft-oriented and retail training work along with a few men or gender non-conforming folks. There seems to be some sense of safety in these domestic \u2018making\u2019 spaces and, despite it\u2019s framework of commericalism, a community of sharing takes place there. During hunting season in Baltimore, and other rural and \u201cex-urban\u201d places, Joanne\u2019s often has displays of various camouflage textiles and hunter\u2019s shirting. These stores are usually located in semi-suburban strip malls. They have a huge range of camouflages, including multi-distance\u00a0<em>camo<\/em>\u00a0made to disrupt the digital \u201ceye\u201d of a modern camera in warzones, and these are being sold in this gendered encoded setting, ideally waiting to be sewn into clothes for men to go deer-hunting.<\/p>\n<p>I was also reading Donna Haraway\u2019s\u00a0<em>Staying With The Trouble<\/em>, and combined with my research into early feminist publications, this framed my thinking about the kinship between knowledge bases; who was buying these textiles, who was selling and sewing them, then who was using the sewn product and how they intersected with gender, domesticity, and again the idealized wildness of nature. The work deals with the complexities of these relationships to the land, with guns and with the interspecial relationships with the animals in question, using languages that are digital and craft-based, totemic but futuristic, celebratory but war-related.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d135cb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8d135cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"994\" src=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Whole-Earth-Catalog-1969-COVER-791x1024-1-768x994.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-10008\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Whole-Earth-Catalog-1969-COVER-791x1024-1-768x994.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Whole-Earth-Catalog-1969-COVER-791x1024-1-232x300.jpeg 232w, https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Whole-Earth-Catalog-1969-COVER-791x1024-1.jpeg 791w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Whole Earth Catalogue 1969 Cover<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-905dc4f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"905dc4f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1023\" src=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Women-HowWeLive-1971-Vol-2-No-2-Cover-769x1024-1.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-10010\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Women-HowWeLive-1971-Vol-2-No-2-Cover-769x1024-1.jpeg 769w, https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Women-HowWeLive-1971-Vol-2-No-2-Cover-769x1024-1-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"> Women \u2013 How we live \u2013 1971 \u2013 Vol 2 Cover<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-96a57f1 e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"96a57f1\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-318c5ec elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"318c5ec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>GM: Let us end with<\/strong><strong>\u00a0new<\/strong><strong>s from your most recent<\/strong><strong>\u00a0feminist publication research, planned to be showcased at the start of April and now cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SGS:<\/strong>\u00a0I had a solo show that was going to be installed in early April at Syracuse University\u2019s Random-Access Gallery.

They seem to me nostalgic yet very contemporary at the same time.<\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>PB<\/strong>: That\u2019s very true. They feel of a period that is difficult to define while also feeling like\u00a0they are being made now. One of my tutors at the Slade used to say they looked like\u00a0they were made yesterday, 150 years ago. Ha!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not timelessness exactly but I am looking for them to exist in both some sort of\u00a0now AND some kind of then and that happens kind of \u2018instinctively on purpose\u2019. It is\u00a0quite difficult to force it, it tends to be more by intuition than design and perhaps is\u00a0more related to the colour and especially the muted, crepuscular tonality. And\u00a0probably me looking at a lot of paintings from certain periods, Belgian Symbolists,\u00a0Spilliaert, Sickert, Decadent art and art deco\/art nouveau, the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte\u00a0designs of Dagobert Peche, Aubrey Beardsley. For about a year, all I looked at was\u00a0Gwen John. I don\u2019t think I ever got over that!<\/p>\n<p>The cigarette\/smoker theme does have something to do with that nostalgia you\u00a0talked about. I could talk about smoking all day long! Like painting itself, smoking\u00a0(cigarettes) now is an oddly quaint, nostalgic, belated, anachronistic activity\u00a0<a href=\"applewebdata:\/\/03B0998A-621B-421C-AAC7-CA2A44F07F35#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\"><strong>[i]<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It is\u00a0also beautiful. I mean it looks beautiful and it is beautiful to paint, unlike vaping which\u00a0makes everyone look like Gandalf and offers no satisfying whisps and curlicues! It is\u00a0not as romantic; it contains none of the hints of exoticism even eroticism that haunt\u00a0cigarette smoking. And of course, there are no real connections to death. Cigarettes\u00a0are also deeply generous in terms of temporality. Cigarettes effectively gift you time.<\/p>\n<p>The few minutes it takes to smoke a cigarette, as any true smoker knows, is most\u00a0satisfyingly enjoyed alone. Suddenly the smoker is absolutely in the moment, set\u00a0within those few minutes, enjoying being alive and engaged in an activity that is both\u00a0physical and cerebral because cigarettes for me are also an embodiment of\u00a0contemplation. Again, this is where the connection to painting comes in because\u00a0painting for me is absolutely a thinking space. The thinking that painting produces is\u00a0often more interesting than the paintings themselves. I am interested in that \u2018state\u2019 of\u00a0painting which exists somewhere between daydreaming and reading and the\u00a0cigarette is a very loaded cipher for that. It also gives the figures in the paintings\u00a0agency, they are \u2018doing\u2019 something (though smoking, also, isn\u2019t actually doing\u00a0anything) and, because of the allusion to thinking, it also gives them a sense of\u00a0autonomy. To answer the first part of your question, not films so much in this case\u00a0but certainly the remarkable chapter in Italo Svevo\u2019s Zeno\u2019s Conscience, one of the\u00a0greatest of all Italian novels, where the protagonist, Zeno talks about the problem of\u00a0the last cigarette. BUT I did see this film about the philosopher Hannah Arendt which\u00a0had an impact on my thinking. It wasn\u2019t a particularly great film, but they needed to\u00a0show her thinking because it was kind of her job and the subject of the film, and they\u00a0did that merely by having her in a room, on a couch, on her own, looking off into the\u00a0distance and very slowly smoking a cigarette.<\/p>\n<p>So, again, the cigarette is a manifestation of pensiveness, of thought and most importantly of all, of reverie, daydreaming.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"applewebdata:\/\/03B0998A-621B-421C-AAC7-CA2A44F07F35#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\"><em>[i]<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0My friend Francesco told me about this oddly moving series of filmic portraits that the French director Alain Cavalier made in the 1980\u2019s, about older women who were still engaged, mostly in Paris, in trades or activities that were about to disappear (because of mechanisation or digitalisation etc.). They all worked with their hands, on tasks like corset making, mattress stuffing, hand stitching books and jobs like that and they were all the last people who would ever be engaged in them that way, jobs that had continued for generations. It reminded me of something Walter Benjamin said about finding new beauty in that which was vanishing and, of course, it reminded me of how odd and outmoded it often feels to be a painter.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1fbd31a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1fbd31a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"967\" src=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Leg-813x1024-1-768x967.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-10020\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Leg-813x1024-1-768x967.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Leg-813x1024-1-238x300.jpeg 238w, https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Leg-813x1024-1.jpeg 813w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The Reflexologist\u2019s Reflexologist, 2019, Oil on canvas, 90\u00d776<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-561d208 e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"561d208\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c6342d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c6342d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>GM: The sinister, perverse nature of some of these works\u2019 seeps through defenses, superficially pleasing with their non-threatening flatness, their pastel tones and playful subject matter. Yet something disrupts the narrative, maybe it\u2019s a gaze outside of the picture plane, or uncomfortably long feet, limbs holding strange objects or faces caught in unpaintable moments. I wonder if you work until an oddness is reached, if you know from the beginning what this oddness must be and if the original subject matter is transformed through the act of painting so as to reveal its \u2018strange self\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>PB:<\/strong>\u00a0I partially answered this already in terms of agency and autonomy. It is important that the figures have a life, not just the women in the paintings but all the figures. I think, again they are emblematic of something about painting itself. I have very unconventional beliefs about painting that border on the esoteric. I believe that an autonomous vessel containing both emotion (feeling) and intellect (thinking) can make a perverse claim to a unique kind of sentience. I think certain paintings, really do have a form of life, obviously not as we understand life, but they do have a singular existence, a state of being involving time and space and dream. When I was teaching painting I was always talking about letting paintings breathe, not killing them by overpainting\u2026<\/p>\n<p>To respond to\u00a0 you in another way I am always battling with the problems of being a figurative painter and the problem of the figure itself, especially if, like me, one is not using\u00a0 any form of reference material: no photographs, no drawings, nothing. Because I am not interested in the figure looking \u2018real\u2019 (god forbid) or like a photograph because I am using my imagination only and while I like the reverse constraints of that, I also don\u2019t want the figure to look whimsical or twee so it can be dismissed or neutered as something childlike. I want it to be\u00a0<u>mine<\/u>, I want it to look like something arriving barefoot in the world, for the first time. This is what excites me about painting in oils, its capacity to facilitate exactly that. So, to do that I make the figure a bit more mannered, a bit more like it has its own physical rules.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61189de elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"61189de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-03-17-at-14.46.05-819x1024-1-768x960.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-10022\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-03-17-at-14.46.05-819x1024-1-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-03-17-at-14.46.05-819x1024-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2020-03-17-at-14.46.05-819x1024-1.jpg 819w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">A Mirror, 2017 Oil on canvas 30x25cm<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5cc1bff e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5cc1bff\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1bbcb44 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1bbcb44\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>GM: Cats, foxes and dogs populate your work\u2026 so do backs of heads, clothes that seem animated of their own accord and hair that sometimes overwhelms the wearer. A friendly animal seems to almost strangle a neck, yet there is never a feeling of urgency or alarm. The population of intimate space seems to allow you to juggle certain unnamable concoctions of emotion at the same time, creating work that leaves one wanting sequels. What is the space you work in? Where does it come from, where does it go?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>PB:<\/strong>\u00a0This is a very generous question. I really appreciate it because I really feel it comes from behind a set of eyes, from someone who has looked very carefully at the work, so thanks! That said, I feel I am unable to do it full justice because I\u2019m not convinced I have a cogent answer to this. Yes, you are right, certain motifs reoccur though I am really wary of repetition, it does creep in. I mentioned this thing earlier about wanting to put things in the world for the first time and so everything I don\u2019t scrape off or paint over has to have surprised me in some way, even if I am not reinventing the wheel. The space isn\u2019t exactly theatrical, at least in my understanding of that term but it is\u00a0<u>close<\/u>, everything happens in a space that is meant to have a close physical relationship to the viewer. When I was a student I read one of the School of London painters had said that paintings should be like flags, you should be able to see them from across the room and though I don\u2019t really agree with that at all, I do think in my paintings clarity is important, in that the viewer should be able to see exactly what is\u00a0<u>happening<\/u>\u00a0while at the same time what is\u00a0<u>going on<\/u>\u00a0is completely ambiguous, the two things are quite different. And I think the ambiguity, the mystery is fundamental. In effect, if they are \u2018about\u2019 anything, it is probably that. They are not meant to be \u2018read\u2019 or explicated. My old colleague from Newcastle, Giles Bailey always used to say that art is a really bad tool for delivering clear, readable meaning and a very good tool for offering equivocation, ambiguity. I don\u2019t think my job as an artist is to\u00a0<u>know<\/u>. I\u2019m not sure what it is but it is certainly not that. Perhaps that sounds like a cop out? But, I mean here we are, careering though an endless, dark void, with no idea about anything apart from the fact that one day it will all stop and to me it\u2019s heartening to know a vocation still exists that is able to represent something of all that instead of pretending it has all the answers.

Kingdom. They have been one of the cornerstones of education for decades in schools such as Goldsmiths, and are progressively establishing themselves in many institutes and academies of other European countries.<\/p>\n<p>A CRIT is a meeting in which artists present their work, \u201coffering it\u201d to a collective criticism. The CRIT public has the mandate to observe and understand the work that is presented.<br \/>The artist briefly introduces the work \/ project, and then the public may intervene, offering their point of view on the work, making comments or questions and triggering a dialogue with the artist.<br \/>The core of CRIT is the exchange between artist and public: CRITS are a collective ritual, and can become opportunities to negotiate shared values \u200b\u200band meanings.<\/p>\n<p>CRITS are based on the idea that group discussions can enhance the practice of the artist, bringing a degree of objectivity in the highly subjective dynamic of the private creative process. Making art is often a solitary search, and it can sometimes be difficult for an artist to evaluate if his work is on the right track, if the way he is progressing is approaching his goals. A CRIT is an opportunity for the artist to better understand his artistic practice, his work and himself.<\/p>\n<p>John Baldessari, who has led CRIT classes since the 1970s, constantly reminds his students that \u201cArt comes out of failure. You have to try things out. You cannot sit around, saying \u2018I will do nothing until I do a masterpiece\u2019. \u201d For Baldessari CRITS are fundamental as a moment of \u201cdemythizing\u201d the figure of the artist and the idea of \u200b\u200ba work of art.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

HYPERMAREMMA, organizzato da Giorgio Galotti e Carlo Pratis, CASTRO Project presenta la mostra collettiva Voi rubate del tempo alla fretta, a noi il mare ci impone lentezza a cura di Enzo Di Marino e Alberta Romano negli spazi di Villa Di Lorenzo.<br \/>L\u2019estate \u00e8 iniziata, il caldo comincia a diventare sempre pi\u00f9 logorante, le forze vanno scemando e cresce l\u2019esigenza di ridurre i ritmi lavorativi verso una presunta improduttivit\u00e0 vacanziera. Nel contesto di un festival estivo la mostra si propone come un vero e proprio summer show che, con l\u2019estate alle porte, abbracci e inviti chi la visita a riscoprire le potenzialit\u00e0 e la bellezza di un puro ozio vacanziero. La mostra ha come obiettivo quello di restare in linea con questi principi e con l\u2019affascinante ambiente che la ospita: un imponente architettura brutalista, minata e contaminata dalla natura. La casa sorge su uno scoglio e affaccia direttamente sul mare, colate di cemento grezzo vengono intervallate da immense vetrate e giardini segreti.<br \/>Voi rubate del tempo alla fretta, a noi il mare ci impone lentezza, vuole essere un invito a rallentare, a \u201cprendersela con calma\u201d, mettendo insieme artisti che hanno avuto tempo di conoscersi durante il periodo di CASTRO studio program a Roma e artisti che, con la loro, a volte, semplice ironia, tentano di stemperare una rigidit\u00e0 di convezione, un intellettualismo a tratti superficiale, che ostenta sempre una rigorosa seriet\u00e0. Non si parla di improduttivit\u00e0 come una forma di resistenza all\u2019invasione e al controllo del tempo lavorativo nella vita di un individuo, non si parla di biopolitica, questa mostra vuole essere un semplice freno, \u201cun\u2019imposizione di lentezza\u201d finalizzata a una pi\u00f9 accurata e onesta osservazione di ci\u00f2 che ci circonda. Per essere in linea con quest\u2019idea, i due curatori hanno deciso di non intervenire con un contributo testuale, ma con una playlist su Spotify che raccoglier\u00e0 quelle che, sulla base di un personalissimo gusto, possono essere considerate canzoni che trasmettano agli spettatori una sensazione di rilassatezza, un invito a godersi la vita, un tempo di pausa su cui si riflette semplicemente la vista del mare.<\/p>\n<p>Un ringraziamento speciale a CASTROprojects, Hypermaremma, ACAPPELLA, Galleria Umberto Di Marino, Gallleriapi\u00f9, Clima, Giorgio Galotti, Frutta, Operativa Arte

body, revealing it as a \u201clacking machine\u201d. The technological grafting process not only aims to the functional improvement of the human being as a biological organism, but leads to its progressive physical disappearance. Through the use of different media, the visual and textual compendium tries to re\ufb02ect on the advent and use of some of these \u201csuper-prostheses\u201d that overlap more and more flters between man and the reality that surrounds it. A reality that is dissolved in the hybrid and transhuman experience between real and virtual and which ultimately questions the identity of the individual.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=1LYtptoQ5GXmB3K8oRyjmnUjCPH14Z-aq\">click here to donwload the pubbli<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=1LYtptoQ5GXmB3K8oRyjmnUjCPH14Z-aq\">cation<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fondazionepini.net\/borsa-di-studio\/luca-staccioli-donner-a-voir\/\">click here to see the exhibition<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4dce73e elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"4dce73e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-da8bb0f e-con-full e-flex qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"da8bb0f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-39f6b82 e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"39f6b82\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2483a18 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2483a18\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">We\u2019re proud to say that CASTRO Fellow Caterina De Nicola is hosting this show in her project space in Lusanne.<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16e8421 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"16e8421\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/garante-1-350x495-1-212x300.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-10173\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/garante-1-350x495-1-212x300.jpeg 212w, https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/garante-1-350x495-1.jpeg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a1eb952 e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a1eb952\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-da2fe2d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"da2fe2d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div>\n<p>Stefania Carlotti \u2013 Garantie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"m_-8972323212791176799m_8755185834171201555gmail-page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"m_-8972323212791176799m_8755185834171201555gmail-layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"m_-8972323212791176799m_8755185834171201555gmail-column\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em><br \/>\u201cHere\u2019s the person I want.

I follow the endless engagement and amazing work you carry on, therefore I would like to invite you to contribute to a project which reflects and researches on the structures and dynamics of operating within an independent art scene.\u00a0Below you will find the invitation to participate in the exhibition Opening Reception.<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, endless turnover of exhibitions pullulates art spaces. Sometimes, exhibition making feels like an accelerated practice that follows rules of accumulation and overproduction. Artists and curators alike are on the constant need of producing relations, concepts, situations, and of stimulating discourses, assemblages, and meaning.<\/p>\n<p>Opening Reception deals with the practice of exhibition making and pushes its production to the edge of ephemera. The exhibition moves from Italo Calvino\u2019s novel \u201cIf on a winter night a traveler\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf on a winter night a traveler\u201d is a meta-novel: a novel about the experience of reading, whose protagonists are both the fictional and the actual reader. Narrating the readers\u2019 thoughts, difficulties (like the layout of the book) and happenings which occur while reading, Calvino creates a book that collects incipits of potential novels. Each chapter is a new beginning of a story that the readers will never have the chance to finish because they do not exist yet -and never will.<\/p>\n<p>Opening Reception might work in the same way: it is a meta-exhibition, an exhibition about possible exhibitions and narrates the story of the beholder who is confronted with different narratives and subjects which might be on display, without ever completing their experience.<\/p>\n<p>We would like to kindly invite you to participate in our speculative exhibition by contributing with the format you think it makes sense: a title, participating artists, a text, a refusal, a poster, a flyer, an invitation letter, a picture, or anything that would make sense for you.<\/p>\n<p>Opening Reception is part of a research project on collaborative dynamics and economies of generosity within the independent art scene and will take place in Lausanne at Route de Chavannes 45 on the 8th December, in occasion of the festival Les Urbaines.<\/p>\n<p>With our kindest greetings,<\/p>\n<p>Francesca Brusa, Caterina De Nicola, Elin Gonalez, Lucas Erin, Benjamin Louis Xavier Zollinger<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-938ee39 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"938ee39\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac35bb8 e-con-full e-flex qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ac35bb8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a965b64 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a965b64\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/losquaderno_49-2-768x484.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-10184\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/losquaderno_49-2-768x484.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/losquaderno_49-2-300x189.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/losquaderno_49-2-1024x645.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/losquaderno_49-2-1536x968.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/castroprojects.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/losquaderno_49-2.jpeg 1772w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d2c097e e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d2c097e\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb87d60 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fb87d60\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>Anton Mirto \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/a2company\">https:\/\/vimeo.com\/a2company<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>[\u2026] The idea of the performance was literally try to \u201ctake presence\u201d.

There is no point in being too brazen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Falling apart in a crit is not as shameful as one might expect. Intellectual breakdown is an essential component of pedagogy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Exhaustiveness is necessary. Key. Endurance is also essential. When one has nothing to say, that becomes the question, in which case that\u2019s a really interesting conversation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Crits prepare students for a professional career because \u201cnegotiating interviews, conversations with critics, press releases, catalogues, and wall texts are part of the responsibility of the artist. It helps them develop thick skins and come see criticism as rhetoric rather than personal attack. Also students need to understand their motivations, deeply, to discover which parts of their practice are expendable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">CRITICALITY shouldn\u2019t be confused with being harsh or hostile, because you can be unthinkingly negative; it\u2019s a deep inquiry so as to expose a dialectic. If you are on autopilot, you are not critical.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Criticality is a strategy for the production of knowledge. Our view is that art should interrogate the social and cultural ideas of its time. Other places might want a work to produce pleasure or feelings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Criticality is the code word for a model of art-making that foregrounds research and analysis rather than instincts and intuition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">You can do anything you want if you can defend it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><em>\u201cThe people who matter most for artists are the peer group.
