Supercondominio6 – Paradis

We’re glad and honored to be curating the 6th edition of Supercondominio. This year, for the first time, it will be part of the public program of Radis, the new project of art in public spaces promoted by Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT, whose first edition takes place in the province of Cuneo, with the collaboration of Fondazione CRC.

“The Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT” says President Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo “is pleased to welcome and support the 6th edition of Supercondominio, an opportunity for artists to meet and discuss residencies, a topic dear to the Foundation and a linchpin of the Radis project. For the first time, the event, Supercondominio6 – Paradis is open to other countries, blending local and European contexts, focusing both on the community and the international scene: ten independent contemporary art spaces have been invited to Rittana as well as three artists who will be sharing their aims, experiences and stories with both audiences and community”.

There will be five Italian participant projects and five from abroad: AiR 351 (Cascais, Portugal), K.A.I.R. (Košice, Slovakia), Koraï (Nicosia, Cyprus), Rupert (Vilnius, Lithuania), Spiritvessel (Espinavessa, Spain), CRIPTA747 (Turin), In-ruins (Calabria,), Studio Rizoma (Palermo), Pianpicollo Selvatico (Levice, Cuneo), Unpae (Roccacaramanico, Pescara). They will exchange ideas on artists residences, unconventional approaches to how we relate to public spaces and management of unconventional art venues, with activities taking place in areas far from main circuits. In the two day event artists Luca De Leva, Allison Grimaldi Donahue and Martina Rota will also present their research with dialogical moments, performative readings and performances focusing on the body, the word and experience.

“Supercondominio is the yearly meeting of the Italian independent spaces created in 2018 by curators Caterina Molteni and Laura Lecce” says Treti Galaxie, “In times of geopolitical uncertainty, such as ours, after five editions promoted and hosted by the Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art, the event’s format is being transformed, changing venue and format: among the glades and refuges near Rittana on the Cottian Alps, five Italian residence projects have been invited to spend a weekend together with five other similar projects active in other European countries. The context will be that of free dialogue and mutual understanding fostered by research on the body, words and experiences presented by artists Martina Rota, Allison Grimaldi Donahue and Luca De Leva. We hope new ideas and future cooperation may develop thus supporting a new generation’s artistic research”.
