Antonio Fiorentino
Antonio Fiorentino’s research developed over the years under the umbrella of minimal intervention. The artist seeks to bring art back to nature by finding value in things that already exist, isolating them, and framing them within new contexts. Fiorentino is interested in situations of transformation as well as natural processes that create new forms through change.
Antonio Fiorentino was born in Barletta, Italy in 1987. He was selected to participate in the CSAV Artists Research Laboratory at Fondazione Antonio Ratti, and was the winner of eighth edition of the Talent Prize in Rome. Fiorentino participated in several exhibitions in Italy and abroad including: The Lasting, National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art, Rome; Vis Attractiva, THE OPEN BOX, Milan; Ride the Falling Flux, HIAP – Helsinki International Artist Programme; From & To, Centre of Contemporary Art Villa Arson/ Kunst Merano, Nice/Meran; Concrete Ghost, American Academy in Rome; CSAV – Fondazione Antonio Ratti, Como; Underneath the Street, the Beach, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin.

Nina Bovasso
Nina Bovasso works mainly with paper. She takes pattern and design as a point of departure and expands upon them, paying attention to notions of confinement and homogeneity, and privileging the abject and overlooked. Her pieces often result in a kind of anti-design or pattern gone amok.
Nina Bovasso was born and raised in New York City, where she currently lives and works. Bovasso has exhibited her work internationally in solo and group shows. In 2016 she presented a new body of work of painted cardboard collages in a solo project at Josée Bienvenu Gallery, New York City, and in 2009, she founded the project space 1k projectspace in Amsterdam to present the work of other artists.
