Forgotten Memories
Co-curator of solo exhibition Forgotten Memories by Anna Kudryashova at SEA Foundation Tilburg from 30th October to 8th December 2024.
In the interval of paralysis, when the communication that goes through is disrupted, blocked or lost somewhere, it is in that interstitial space that something happens. Anna Kudryashova’s artistic research feeds on these very moments and often stems from intimate experiences where feelings are so present that they have to leave her body and take their own shapes. Seeking to understand the exchanges and feedbacks between memory and body, identity and materiality, conscious intention and resulting actions, Kudryashova draws on this tension often looking at her body both as a site of paralysis and vessel through which new forms of expression can generate. Her works primarily accompany visitors between film-based personal past archives and susceptible performances recorded in person, bringing up inquiries on cultural identity and everything that the concept of memory brings with it.

Abitare lo spazio (2nd edition)
The second edition of the exhibition Abitare lo spazio took place in Venice from September 8th to 11th 2022, this time in collaboration with Ileana Rutigliano and Festival delle Arti di Giudecca e Sacca Fisola. Taking art out of ordinary circuits allows us to expand our personality into public space, challenging the rigid structures of our society. Returning to living the space through free experiences, shaping it through our uniqueness and subjectivity. Dwelling is a relational practice, it means establishing a relationship between self and place. To inhabit is to give form to one's being in the world.
Exhibiting artists: Ileana Rutigliano + Siamoilfeudo, Collettivo Plurale, Edoardo Ongarato, Lorenzo Montinaro, ASMA, Moreno Hebling, Laura Guastini.
Abitare lo spazio (1st edition)
The first edition of the exhibition Abitare lo spazio took place in Venice from 27 June to 3 July 2022 in collaboration with Ileana Rutigliano. The selected artists worked closely with public spaces in Venice, rethinking them through site-specific interventions, combining their practice with elements already present in the spaces themselves. The project aims to make people reflect on the rigid structures of our society, on freeing ourselves from the patterns that are imposed on us in order to return to living space through free and personal experiences.
Exhibiting artists: Ileana Rutigliano + Siamoilfeudo, Moreno Hebling, Chiara Ventura, Giacomo Furlan, Valeria Notarangeli, Beatrice Mika Sakaki, Gaia Vianello.
