Marco Calzonari, Vincenzo Zancana and Nicolas Crocetti: the 3 artists involved in the project who are all part of Artsted.com platform will be represented in a series of solo shows and activations where it will be possible to discover the individual research of single artists and the cultural relevance of their practice in relation to contemporary aesthetics.

27/05 from 15:00 PM to 19:00 PM "CIANOTIPIA" Workshop directed by Vincenzo Zancana

"Ciano significa blu e questa è la suggestiva caratteristica dei cianotipi, un intenso Blu di Prussia. Ideato nel 1842 dall’astronomo John Hershel per scopi scientifici il cianotipo è stato utilizzato come processo fotografico da Anna Atkins, una delle prime donne fotografe della storia. Oggi è diventata una vera e propria pratica artistica nel mondo della stampa d’arte e non solo. Il corso è aperto a tutte le persone interessate alle arti grafiche e che vogliono sperimentare con questa antica tecnica di stampa fotografica, e non solo. Il workshop si struttura prevalentemente in due fasi. Nella prima fase sarà illustrata la tecnica con la visione di immagini e di stampe. Il seguito sarà dedicato ad una dimostrazione di prova e alla preparazione dei negativi con i materiali/oggetti che saranno messi a disposizione ai partecipanti (primi test). Nella seconda fase si entrerà nel vivo della tecnica, si realizzeranno delle stampe, sperimentazioni e viraggi".

Nicolas Crocetti:

His research is based on the conceptualization and extrapolation from reality of elements and themes that characterize the contemporary era with particular reference to the relationship between individuals, reality and virtuality. His work is characterized by an initial deepening of the themes that subsequently converge in a conceptual investigation that manifests itself through a multidisciplinary artistic practice that refuses to elect and oppress itself through a single medium. The proposed narrative seeks to present reality in a different form to develop a starting point for a dialogue on contemporary issues between the artist, the work and the public.

Marco Calzolari:

His practice focuses on the exploration of self-identity through the establishment of processes, experiences and installations, conceived to invite the audience to listen, reflect and introspect.

He embraces tattooing as one of my media of investigation because of its body-reclaiming power as a primitive form of self-expression and assertion of control over the self.

Vincenzo Zancana:

His research investigates the processes and mechanisms on which the relationship between man-object and man-environment is based. An analysis that is addressed through multiple keys of interpretation: from memory, the obsessiveness of repetition, to the fetish of consumption; investigating the concepts of fragmentation, mutation, storage, sedimentation, and stratification.

The superimposition of layers that are layered in his installations become the result of the binomial man - environment, a bond that is unceasing over time.
