 <\/p>\n

Due to our moving to Italy, we only restarted our activities in January 2015. With this the focus is not only on art in public space, but changed more to report on exhibitions and presentation of international artists via the artwork of the month. First we published only on our Facebook website. However, since July 2015 we have our new regular website, where we included as well most of the articles and photo documentations starting from January 2015. In addition there is an archive of the old publications as well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

January<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"logos\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Traditionally the year of art starts in Bologna with the ARTEFIERA, the ART CITY and its collateral events. We have shown some impressions of the ARTEFIERA<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and the ART CITY WHITE NIGHT<\/a><\/span>. There are images from \u201cPUBLIC COLLECTION \u2013 Bologna\u201d by Alexandra Pirici & Manuel Pelmus who performed famous artworks. We visited Adiacenze, with its solo exhibitions \u201cLa natura (mai) morta\u201d by Elsa Salonen and the cooperated “Paperpools” by Rainer Splitt with works coming from the Berlin based Werkstattgalerie. Together with the Spazio Testoni in Bologna the Werkstattgalerie presented the exhibition \u201cCheck Point\u201d with sculptures by Fabrizio Pozzoli and photos by Benjamin Reich and Lea Golda Holterman. The Gallleriapi\u00f9 offered a group exhibition called \u201cAltrimenti che essere\u201c and we visited Mitchell McAuley in his workshop.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

February<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"vers_le_ciel\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In February we published our first artwork of the month. It was provided by the French-Peruvian artist Gloria Li Mir. \u201cVers le ciel\u201d<\/a> <\/span>(To the sky) is an example of her research about white as colour with all its possibilities of reflexion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

March<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"14<\/a><\/p>\n

The month of March brought \u201c14 Tage Sonne in S\u00fcdfrankreich \u2013 ab heute\u201d<\/a> <\/span>(14 days of sun in the south of France \u2013 from today) by the German artist Kirsten Kl\u00f6ckner. The watercolour painting is part of her series Wunschprogramm (desired programme), where people can express wishes, that she transforms in artworks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_20150320_194023\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Moreover in March Adiacenze presented the show \u201cFEMINA. Life of the clothes of Sveva Zamboni\u201d<\/a><\/span> by Fratelli Broche curated by Silvia Mei. Through the installation of clothes, accessories and a video one could follow the life of the imaginary personality Sveva Zamboni.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

April<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"KONICA<\/a><\/p>\n

Margaret Michel offered in April with \u201cLes joueuses de Cartes\u201d<\/a><\/span> (The card players) a Frankenstein like installation. Here the American-Irish artist makes chairs move sluggishly around a table: a reflexion about nature, the human being and technology.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

May<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"minolta-digital-camera-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In May we met V\u00e9ronique Champollion\u2019s sculpture \u201cLe Printemps de Botticelli\u201d<\/a><\/span> (The Spring of Botticelli). Lost in daydreams she was scattering flowers somewhere in a park in Nice, France, instead of hanging around in the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Italy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"drawings-zero\"<\/a>
\n<\/a>Also in May we posted photos from two Bolognese exhibitions: \u201cDrawings Storage\u201d<\/a><\/span> conceived and curated by Giovanna Sarti in the Goethe-Zentrum and \u201cNanni Menetti: Sotto zero\u201d<\/a><\/span> in the Galleria Studio G7.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

June<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"#6_Obwohl\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The artwork of the month June was chosen from Thyra Schmidt\u2019s exhibition \u201cBlaue T-Shirts, Jeans und Turnschuhe\u201d (Blue T-Shirts, Jeans and Trainers). \u201cObwohl \u2026\u201d<\/a> <\/span>(Although \u2026) is a printed text which might be seen as text, but as well as an image.<\/p>\n

Three Bolognese exhibitions attracted our attention:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"KateNewby\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWhere the trees line the water that falls asleep in the afternoon.\u201d<\/a><\/span> A group show at the Gallery P420, with works of Rodrigo Hern\u00e1ndez, Clare Grill and Kate Newby, curated by Chris Sharp.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"GiulioMaulini\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Adiacenze presented the group exhibition \u201cE lo fecero a pezzi\u201d<\/a><\/span> by the artists Giulia Carpentieri, Irene Fenara, Giulio Maulini and Andrea Parenti, curated by Teresa Serra and Pietro Cortona.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"cups\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For \u201cInventarium\u201d<\/a><\/span> at the Galleriapi\u00f9 Giovanni Gaggia reflected via drawings the Ustica Massacre, which happened in June 1980, when a plane from Bologna on its way to Palermo crashed in the Tyrrhenian Sea, close to the island Ustica.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

July\/August: Summer break<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Sommer\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

September<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Cyclops-Post\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the summer break the September artwork of the month was \u201cCyclope\u201d<\/a><\/span> (Cyclops) by the German painter Rosemarie Krefeld. It is a good example how Rosemarie constructs picture out of abstract geometric forms. Nevertheless the result inspires to discover the personage that the title evokes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

October<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"5<\/a><\/p>\n

For the month of October the Italian artists Rebecca Ballestra & Lucia Palmero offered \u201c5 minutes free zone\u201d<\/a><\/span>. The solar parasol was originally used to provide electricity to the refugees in Ventimiglia blocked at the French border to recharge their cell phones. In the installation at the Spazio Testoni it supplied iPhones to show videos about the refugee situation there.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Spaghetti\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Italian artist Giulia Bonora cooked sculptures for the FOOD PROJECT: \u201cIl gesso come la farina\u201d (The plaster as the flour). We participated at the live streaming of the creation of the \u201cSpaghetti all\u2019Amatriciana\u201d<\/a><\/span> at the Gallleriapi\u00f9.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Liz,<\/a><\/p>\n

The Galleria B4 presented the exhibition \u201cVolti oltre\u201d<\/a><\/span> (More than faces) by Alessandra Alma Masi. Besides many painted portraits of well-known and unknown personalities, there was as well a video projection of live recorded portraits.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_20150826_174629\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just before the end of the Biennale \u201cAll the Worlds Futures\u201d we started our reflexions about this year\u2019s exhibition in Venice. Inspired by the Arena subject of reading \u201cDas Kapital\u201d by Karl Marx, we focused in the first part on three artistic approaches<\/a><\/span> to conditions of labour.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

November<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"ZesteNL\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Marie Cagnasso contributed the artwork of the month in November. The French ceramist created the porcelain sculpture \u201cZeste de mer\u201d<\/a><\/span> (Zest of the sea). It captures the impression of a relatively calm sea, which reflects the sunrays so that it is meant to be only the skin of something else.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Picnic\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Luciano Leonotti\u2019s photo exhibition \u201cRituali\u201d<\/a><\/span> (Rituals) at the Bolognese Gallery L\u2019Ariete Artecontemporanea invited to assist to Italian contemporary Rituals. The images are surprisingly different from what one might expect.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Linea<\/a><\/p>\n

Alan Maglio and Fabio Giampietro drew a red line through the Spazio Testoni. Their photo and painting exhibition \u201cLinea Rossa\u201d<\/a> <\/span>started at the Milanese Central Station. Urban portraits directed finally to Bologna.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"MINOLTA<\/a><\/p>\n

Artistic views on the world order were presented in the second part of our Biennale reflections<\/a><\/span>. Taryn Simon showed how the capitalist world order is presenting itself; The Propeller Group interpreted the confrontation of two opposing systems and Kutlug Ataman portrayed a Capitalist Player.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

December<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"ZEITL\u00d6CHER\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The last artwork of the month in 2015 was offered by the German artist Anke Heeleman. She took us on a time journey via time holes<\/a><\/span>; an installation in the FOTOTHEK Weimar.<\/p>\n

Thank you to following us in our first year of activity with a new shape. We hope you\u2019ll be our guest in 2016, too!<\/strong><\/p>\n

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n
