“This book is a space for fragmentary collection, a stock of common and personal visions and experiences. Living in a community is not strange; we daily inhabit the group without noticing it, but recognizing it is an enlightenment. To speak romantically about this feeling is like describing our homes: we inhabit them by caring for every mess. Iperromantico is a thing of encounters…
Do not reach the point where you say I anymore, but the point where the sum of the multiples is called us. Then we are no longer the same. Each one will not recognize their own element in the whole and will remember that we have helped, inspired, and multiplied each other.”
(Excerpt from the introduction of Iperromantico)

Within the framework of FARE COLLETTIVO , the 2024 exhibition programme at Platea Palazzo Galeano, Palazzo Bronzo collaborates in the realization of Iperromantico, an art book that is also a reconnaissance on artistic collectives in today's Italy. RM, MRZB, Extragarbo, and Hardchitepture are the other four collectives hosted by Platea, from which Palazzo Bronzo's editorial project starts. The project explores the processes and dynamics of collectives, aiming at a documentary coagulation of the work of the realities involved in the research. The publication will accompany the four exhibitions and enrich them with archival materials, interviews, curatorial texts, and remixes.

The volume includes a series of unpublished essays written by art historian Jacopo Galimberti, independent curator Anna Daneri, and by Franco Ferrari, Federico Ghillino, Luca Gerry Conte, Martina Montagna, Marco-Augusto Basso, Mefistofele Documenta, and Federica Balletto, members of Palazzo Bronzo.
The publication also contains two series of unpublished interviews with the collectives featured in FARE COLLETTIVO, conducted by cultural producer Carlo Antonelli and Palazzo Bronzo.
