i10 INDIPENDENTI - ARTVERONA 2019
Project RadioLondon has been selected to exhibit
Within ArtVerona, which this year celebrates 15 years, the Independent Spaces section, curated by Cristiano Seganfreddo, who ten years ago decided to focus on the Italian project space scene. "Ten years of Independent represent a seismograph, empirical and unstable, of the Italian research and experimentation situation outside institutional places," explains Seganfreddo, who this year invited participants to respond to the Release theme. "We are looking for new releases. Projects that contain the sign, the seed of change, of questioning through an improvement of one's cultural, curatorial, artistic practices. And that they are willing to be open to the ideas and suggestions of other Independent, like the thousands of visitors they will meet during the days of the fair ".

GemellArte project is directed to share art and their artistic heritage between Italy and France, relaunching the twinnings that already link the two countries through different cities. Within the logic of “free movement” at the base of European values, that today more than ever it is necessary to preserve and recover. With art that is proposed and “used” as a tool of connection and sharing and to open and overcome geographical and mental boundaries.

PROPOSITIONS FOR CHANGE WITH PLYMOUTH COLLEGE OF ART
Talk at Tate Modern on March 15th 2019
Explore the link between creative education and social justice in this collaborative symposium.
The symposium will open with the proposition to explore pedagogical opportunities of risk in art education at a time when art and education are themselves under threat. Policy agendas at all levels are marginalising the arts. At the same time, social and economic factors place unprecedented strain on the institutional fabric of education.

FORUM DELL'ARTE CONTEMPORANEA 2018
Museo Mambo, Bologna (IT)
Forum dell'arte contemporanea italiana - 5th Edition
"La parola agli artisti"
For its fifth edition, Saturday 10 November 2018, the Italian Contemporary Art Forum arrives at MAMbo - Museum of Modern Art in Bologna
For the Bologna edition, the strategic areas previously identified in the Prato editions (2015 - 2016) and in the thematic days of Genoa and Turin (2016) were confined to the area of high education of artists, promotion and visibility of artists Italians abroad, of the artist's position in the different contexts of his work (from the museum to the public sphere, from the market to society, without forgetting the ethical sphere and that of gender differences).
The organizational scheme of the Forum includes a promoting committee (formed by Lorenzo Balbi, Ilaria Bonacossa, Fabio Cavallucci, Antonella Crippa, Anna Daneri, Pietro Gaglianò, Cesare Pietroiusti, Pier Luigi Sacco, Silvia Simoncelli and Chiara Vecchiarelli) and a series of tables, entrusted each to coordinators and composed of different speakers - all representative artists of different generations, geographical areas and practices - among whom the discussion will be developed, open to the public.

MANIFESTA 11
A new Performance at Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich
I'm glad to present A-CRITICAL at MANIFESTA 11
What People Do for Money – that is the existential question addressed by Manifesta 11. It deals with a topic which concerns all of us. Why do some people earn more than others – for the same work? Why are men often quicker than women to climb the corporate ladder? Why is social status still measured by one’s profession and position? Is the passion with which “workaholics” pursue their jobs simply a pretext for their alienation and exploitation? And there is more: how do you go about finding work in a country that is foreign to you? And how does a fully digitised world work in which robots have finally replaced us – and labour as a concept has become obsolete?

REMEMBER NATURE
Remember Nature is a campaign involving a team of partners, including Serpentine Gallery, Central Saint Martins in London and University for the Creative Arts, Farnham.
Remember Nature is a collaborative project directed by artist and political activist Gustav Metzger, will take place on 4 November, with arts practitioners around the world encouraged to participate in a Day of Action to highlight the topic of extinction. Metzger’s call to action urges arts professionals and students from all disciplines to create new work to ‘Remember Nature’, addressing global issues such as extinction, climate change and environmental pollution. A launch event will take place at Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design and at art schools nationwide on the day.
Metzger’s work, including his involvement in the Serpentine’s Extinction Marathon in 2014 and his acclaimed exhibition, Decades 1959 – 2009 at the Serpentine Gallery in 2009, addresses climate change and its catastrophic effects.
“The art, architecture and design world needs to take a stand against the ongoing erasure of species – even where there is little chance of ultimate success. It is our privilege and our duty to be at the forefront of the struggle. There is no choice but to follow the path of ethics into aesthetics. We live in societies suffocating in waste. Our task is to remind people of the richness and complexity in nature; to protect nature as far as we can and by doing so art will enter new territories that are inherently creative.” Gustav Metzger, 2015.
