News, Italy, Cuneo, 05 July 2012
The contemporary art exhibition ZOOart to be held in public spaces in Cuneo and the Fresia Gardens will be inaugurated on Thursday 5 July at the Fresia Gardens of Cuneo.
Reaching its eleventh edition, the event will again inhabit Cuneo for 3 weeks with its formula of evening open space exhibitions as it has done since 2002.
As always, its itinerary will value the context of local art, as confirmed this year with the project ZOOart.local while maintaining a keen focus on the panorama of the international art world.
Thirty six artists will present their own works, their individual journeys focused on the common theme of the relation between humanity, individual and society, and the environment.
Also this year, the organisation of supporting events will involve the collaboration of artists, designers, locals, associations as well as private and local business partners in order to present creative public workshops.
This year in particular the first edition of the ZOOart.local project will be inaugurated, it was created through a collaboration between Art.ur and the CRC Foundation to support artists who were born in, are residents of, or working currently in the Cuneo Province.
Eight young artists, selected by a panel composed of representatives from Art.ur and the CRC Foundation will exhibit their own artworks during the course of ZOOart: Daniele Beccaria, Marco Cerutti, Nefertari Di Cianni & Damiano Fenoglio, Moira Franco, Paola Monasterolo, Enrico Tealdi, The Bounty Killart and Viola Virdis. Three of these artists will be awarded by the CRC foundation which will purchase their artworks.
At the same time, the old town centre will be transformed by the 2012 edition of urban installations as part of ZOOincittà, created through months of work during specific workshops attended by the Order of Architects as well as students of the Departments of Architecture and Design at the Polytechnic school of Turin.
Site-specific installations to be located on the facades of buildings in Via Roma, Via Mondovi and Piazza Audifreddi in Cuneo have been designed for the last few months by young architects and designers of Cuneo and the students of the Polytechnic school and will be visible from the 5 – 31 July. They will incorporate the theme of ‘Invisible landscapes’, commenting on the need to draw public attention to the landscapes of Cuneo’s urban spaces.
The collaboration between designers and the sponsors CasaOikos, FerreroLegno, LPM, Market Compensati, TPL, Vincenzo Pilone and Abet Laminati will result in the creation of a series of ad hoc installations placed in Audifreddi Square. In fact, amusing happenings and installations will be take place using the materials produced by these companies.
The project, created in partnership with the Commerce Association of Via Roma and Via Mondovi also involves a collaboration with the Campus Granda and the Agricultural Faculty who’s courtyard will house an installation made by the students of the Polytechnic school. A conference to present the initiative will held in this location on 29 June in presence of various institutional and private partners.
On Thursday and Saturday evenings in the three weeks between 5 – 22 July live performances and playlists selected by Art.ur and the independent label Betulla Records will be presented in the Fresia Gardens for the event ZOOlive organised by the association Origami.
Finally, the workshop ‘Ombretta e Lucetta’ , part of the ZOObimbi project, will allow children to use their imaginations through the creative recycling of objects and materials to transform them into alternative and exciting tools and games that use natural elements as a source of energy. These workshops will take place in the Fesia Gardens on each Thursday and Friday during ZOOart.
