Da Guarene all’Etna 2019
Boiling Projects

Palazzo Re Rebaudengo, Guarene d’Alba (CN)

September 21 – November 17, 2019
Opening: September 21 at 7.30 PM

Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Foundation presents the exhibition Da Guarene all’Etna (From Guarene to Etna 2019) – Boiling Projects, that will be held at Palazzo Re Rebaudengo between September 21 and November 17.

Exactly twenty years after the first exhibition held in Taormina in December 1999, and following its subsequent editions (the last being GE/14 Altro dalle immagini in 2014), Turin’s Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Foundation aims to celebrate this long cycle of significant exhibitions that marked four decades of photographic research in Italy with a new show carrying the emblematic title of GE/19 Boiling Projects.

From Guarene to Etna 2019 is a project in collaboration with OELLE Foundation, Catania.
Twenty-five artists are the protagonists of this new appointment that, starting September 21, will take place in Guarene d’Alba within the historical venue of the Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Foundation. Among the twenty-five invited artists, we find photographers such as Luca Campigotto, Paola De Pietri, Alessandra Spranzi, Francesco Jodice, Antonio Biasiucci, Pino Musi, Carmelo Nicosia, Daniele De Lonti, Luca Andreoni, Tancredi Mangano and Antonio Fortugno, who in 1999 were considered “emerging artists”, and today are the points of reference for the younger generations.

Since then, Italian photography has walked down many paths, at times very different from one another. It has widened its horizon and, most of all, the meaning attributed to images today.
By specifying once again its inherent fragmentation, photographic research presents itself as a container for ideas and projects that, once fermented, can find solutions that sometimes are in line with this moment in history; other times, it offers an escape route, or a mirror for existential matters – like in the work of younger artists such as Claudio Gobbi, Gianni Troilo, the duo composed by Tommaso Fiscaletti and Nic Grobler, Gianni Ferrero Merlino, Francesco Cardarelli, Nicolò Degiorgis, Luca Pozzi, Renato Leotta, Marco Tagliafico, Paola Pasquaretta, Tiziano Mainieri, Elisa Crostella, Giuliano Severini, and Francesco Di Giovanni.

Photographs, films, installations, performance documentation, visual storytelling – a collection of “works in progress” that appears miscellaneous, and yet, in its entirety, shows a cohesion in terms of expressive capability and modality of communication.

In the spring of 2020, the exhibition will be showcased again at OELLE Foundation in Catania.
The exhibition is curated by Filippo Maggia and will be accompanied by a catalog published by Skira.
