Redefining South: vessel visits Archiviazioni
News, Italy, Foggia, 15 July 2011
On July 15th, vessel, with curators Viviana Checchia and Raluca Voinea visited Archiviazioni, a project focused on documentation and dialogue. The project is the result of an idea conceptualized by curator Giusy Checcola and collaboratively curated with Luigi Presicce. Based in Lecce, part of the Apulia region, Archiviazioni’s formal space is within the laboratory of Art and Architecture of Lecce.

Giusy Checcola gave the curators a tour of the space, originally a tobacco factory, and explained the aims and goals of Archiviazioni. Its area of focus is “the contemporary south”, which defies traditional geographical definitions and transcends into a philosophical, political and relational space that parallels the struggle to define European identity. To accomplish this, Archiviazioni uses a copious variety of artistic disciplines in order to function as a space based on the exchange of ideas and experimentation.
