Alice Biondin, “So, this our power, are you scared?”

In the heterogeneous world of art, what other figure combines emotion, discovery, resourcefulness, trepidation, if not that of the curator?

And in addition to constantly questioning, seeing the nuances through different angles, and finally creating, managing, celebrating. An “artistic” activity which we follow and pursue, and that is also carried out by the Turin-based Margaret Sgarra, who recently curated the exhibition entitled #penelope in Perugia.

Self-portrait

The column “Who’s Next?” returns to talk about a brilliant and multifaceted young woman who lived in the last century who, since the posthumous publication of her work, has never ceased to be at the center of exhibitions, books and television broadcasts.

Or theater? ”, in the original language “Leben? Oder Theater? Ein Singespiel “. Read more →
