Residenze #1 | Flavio Favelli - Gianni Politi

AlbumArte presents the double personal exhibition of the artists Flavio Favelli and Gianni Politi entitled Residenze #1, curated by Paola Ugolini.
The show will inaugurate the project Residenze, curated by Paola Ugolini, through which AlbumArte aims to reflect around the theme of artist residency, using the exhibition spaces on Via Flaminia to expose artworks exclusively produced during artist-in-residence programs conducted abroad and which will be exposed in Italy for the first time.
The exhibition Residenze #1 will show the works that Flavio Favelli and Gianni Politi realized during their artist residencies abroad, both organized by AlbumArte in Istanbul and Prague respectively, highlighting how the practice of residency may deeply influence how the artist works – specifically, the way of working of a young artist and of a more experienced one – resulting in the creation of artworks which are quite distant from the artist’s style.
The two residencies, realized by AlbumArte in 2014 with the patronage of the Italian Embassy in Turkey, the Italian Institutes of Culture in Istanbul and Prague, the Yapı Kredi Cultural Activities Arts and Publishing and the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Turkey, were finalized with two personal exhibitions: Flavio Favelli ‘s Grape Juice, curated by Vittorio Urbani, at the Galata Rum Okulu (the Galata Greek School) in Istanbul and Gianni Politi’s giovane pittore romano, curated by Paola Ugolini, at the Italian Institute of Culture of Prague. The works of both exhibitions now converge in AlbumArte’s spaces, exposed in Italy for the first time.

Opening reception on Tuesday, October 11 from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m.
