thefemalecurators

by Romina Ciulli and Carole Dazzi

Treebranches

In her works Gisoo Kim uses a unique photographic collage technique, assembling photographs through embroidery. The works of this Korean artist, now based in Germany, are in fact created by stitching together individual image segments, aiming to stimulate not only different perspective combinations, but above all different emotional reactions. Thus, a new reality unfolds before our eyes, composed of visual elements which harmonize and complement each other thanks to the embroidery woven with needle and thread. Let’s talk to the artist.

Roberto Ghezzi/The narrative of nature

by Romina Ciulli and Carole Dazzi

Environmental installation in Iceland

Roberto Ghezzi’s artistic research is based on an abiding interest in the natural landscape and stems from a need to establish a deeper relationship with it, not just a merely representational connection, but above all participatory. In fact, his experiments take place directly within pre-selected natural spaces, and consist of innovative conceptual works, developed through a humanistic-scientific approach. This dual methodological process intertwines the aesthetics of art with the creative dimension of nature itself. This gave rise to his series of creations known as Naturografie, installations which take shape through a direct contact with different landscape contexts, where nature itself takes on the role of creator of the artwork.

Friscura

Cenzo Cocca, born in Ghilarza, has made embroidery his signature style, connecting threads and reflections. Trained at the Academy of Tailoring, he combines textiles with contemporary art, creating hybrid installations brimming with hidden meanings.

Your artistic research draws on embroidery and writing. Can you tell us why you chose these two visual modes in your work?

I think it was a very natural progression. In 2014 I decided to follow a dream: learning to sew. I started with a basic course and, the following year, in 2015, I chose to undertake an academic program that allowed me to delve deeper into the technique. Read more →

Monica Carrera/The gaze becoming narration

thefemalecurators

by Romina Ciulli e Carole Dazzi

Sette cucchiaini per la fine del mondo (2020)

Monica Carrera’s artistic work is characterized by a minimalist language through which she investigates themes related to humanity, personal experiences, and the environment we live in. A conceptual art, indeed conceptually empathetic, intimate, and collective, achieved through the use of various mediums, but particularly photography. In fact, her photographic images are hybridized with other expressive forms and, transforming into installations or sculptures, they give life to true narrative works. Read more →
