Parallel to the publication of Iperromantico, Palazzo Bronzo, at Platea Project (Via Maddalena 3), has created a multifaceted and continuously evolving installation structure that will be reconfigured over the course of the four exhibitions of the FARE COLLETTIVO exhibition programme.
With the inauguration of Fare Collettivo, parallel to the opening of the RM collective’s exhibition, Palazzo Bronzo reconfigured the Platea Project space to host a documentary archive of artifacts and experiences collected by the collective during the creation of Iperromantico, the art book curated by Palazzo Bronzo and produced by Platea Palazzo Galeano. The space is open to everyone to foster the creation of relationships, collaborations, and experiments by artists and visitors.
On the occasion of the second event of FARE COLLETTIVO, parallel to the inauguration of MRZB’s exhibition, Palazzo Bronzo reconfigured the space with installation elements and research experiences on the concept of Puddinga. The conglomerate is used as a poetic image of collectivity, capable of containing heterogeneous subjects yet held together by bonds as viscous as they are solid.
“Puddinga. The pebbles make up rock masses, even gigantic ones, and the whole of each part, clearly visible and distinguishable, forms a rocky mixture with a rough and uneven surface. I would like to start from this natural example to explain my vision of the formation of a collective (artistic and otherwise), particularly on the visual and perceptual presentation it can assume.”
(Franco Ferrari, Puddinga, from Iperromantico)
On the occasion of Extragarbo’s exhibition, Palazzo Bronzo opened the doors of the Platea Project to explore the possibilities of encounters and relationships with local communities. Following the path of the emotional cartography outlined by Extragarbo, Palazzo Bronzo welcomes and absorbs its legacies into its ongoing archive-installation, which can be seen at the Platea Project. In doing so, collective ways of experiencing public space will be explored through the use of key elements linked to the social, promotional, and associative practices typical of a traditional village festival.
E BELLO DOPPO IL MORIRE VIVERE ANCHORA
A round table on the theme of endings
Curated by Palazzo Bronzo
Platea Project, Lodi
07/11/24 at 18:00
Based on the text of the same name from the publication Iperromantico (Platea Palazzo Galeano, 2024), Palazzo Bronzo is organizing a public round table to discuss the theme of endings with artists, collectives, curators, and critics.
When artistic reflection and practice are no longer personal but shared within a group, how does the concept of an ending change? Does the end of a collective signify its exhaustion or its transformation? Are collectives always bound to end as an experimental process?
Platea Project —which has housed the ongoing installation Cose collettive by Palazzo Bronzo since March, related to the publication Iperromantico—has been reimagined for this occasion to take on the welcoming and inclusive forms of a living room, a tea room, or a symposium, creating a setting for the round table discussion.
The event provided an opportunity for reflection and exchange among artists, groups, and professionals from the art world.
All interested and curious individuals were invited to participate, bringing their ideas and experiences on the subject, or to explore the internal dynamics of a group and its management, both practically and emotionally, in crucial moments such as an ending.
BIO
Palazzo Bronzo is a collective and artist-run space founded in April 2022, embodying an artistic partnership that has been active since 2015. The collective engages in diverse artistic languages and practices with the aim of fostering a dialogue between different disciplines: visual arts, architecture, theater, performance, gastronomy, and literature. Palazzo Bronzo is based in Genoa, and the space serves as a meeting point for the underground art scene. It welcomes multifaceted realities, supports emerging artists through a residency program, and hosts exhibitions, performances, presentations, and moments of sharing. It is a long-term project that seeks to engage with the local community and grapple with a city historically multicultural and resistant to globalization due to its port status.
Members of Palazzo Bronzo include:
Federica Balletto, Marco-Augusto Basso, Edoardo Bracchi, Luca Conte, Franco Ferrari, Michele Gasperini, Manuel Gelsomino, Federico Ghillino, Pietro Lugaro, Alessandro Queirolo, Federico Zurani
