On Tuesday, January 31 at 6:00 pm, Santa Nastro will be the protagonist of a meeting at the Museo Novecento together with the artists Chiara Bettazzi and Serena Fineschi to reflect on the meaning of the other face of the art system, between choices of freedom and economic difficulties.
We ask ourselves about their practice, their experiences, we allow ourselves to be conquered or rejected by the philosophy that underlies their works, but we never ask ourselves: how do artists live? Literature in the history of art has accustomed us to a series of clichés: poets, bohemians, gurus or self-made men who are entrepreneurs of themselves… where, however, is the truth today? What are the challenges and difficulties artists face and how has their life changed during the pandemic? How do you reconcile the needs of artistic practice and research with those of real life, such as motherhood, illness, daily family management? The artists in Santa Nastro tell it in this essay-investigation that finally fills a void in the writings on art.

LA COLLANA FUORIUSCITA, directed by Christian Caliandro, it proposes words, ideas, interpretations of contemporary art that are outside the usual paths, and which at the same time constitute an interstice capable of opening up to other, new forms. To different perceptions, descriptions, definitions of art and the work of art, of their role and their functioning in our society. Therefore, for an audience of both specialists and enthusiasts, Fuoriuscita proposes new surveys and maps useful for orientation, unusual angles and perspectives, thematic approaches and studies dedicated to the phenomena and transformations affecting art and artists today. Fuorioutput proposes essays in which contemporary art meets music, literature, cinema, economics, cultural debate, and which are able to blend genres with originality (art criticism, autofiction, news, narrative, theory, art history). Out is to find different ways to investigate and tell what moves in the territory of contemporary, national and international art. Escape is to observe the outside with respect to the inside, and the back with respect to the facade of the artistic world. Or rather, of the artistic worlds. Outgoing is, literally, trying to get out of the usual schemes and codes that tend to cage art, its production and its use, its construction and its reception; above all, learning to see art not as we think it should be, but above all as it is today, in reality – and then as it could be in the immediate future.
