We artistically direct
We are experts in shaping the vision of institutions, curators and artists into compelling large-scale international events. Bringing together a variety of artistic projects into one coherent, engaging and publicly attractive programme is no easy enterprise, especially since it demands reconciling different and competitive creative forces and institutional agendas. We’ve been known to successfully pull it off against all odds every time, as we did in the cases of Art Athina, Action Field Kodra and the XV Biennale de la Méditerranée. We focus on the reshaping public space and the development of audiences. |
We curate
Following the example of Harald Szeemann, that we had the honour to work with, we regard curatorial work as “exhibition-making”. We experiment with the variety of meanings that a collection of art works can convey through the different installation scenarios. The selection of artists, works, spaces, texts and installation techniques is a theoretical and practical exercise that aims at creating the best possible conditions for showcasing art and ultimately leads to that magic moment when a whole new world is revealed to the spectator. |
We offer
Our services include all the phases necessary for the creation of a contemporary art exhibition or event - from initiation to closure, from conceiving and shaping the concept, to realising it, presenting it and disseminating it. Thanks to our experience, we can adapt to developments and changes without risking the end result. |
We collaborate
Since 1999, we have created networks and forged collaborations with a long list of institutions, among which some of the most significant contemporary art institutions worldwide, such as the Venice Biennale. |
