Residents from Brazil

Felipe de Ávila Franco

The work operates through an automated electro-mechanic system that alludes to the astronomic event that inspired the title of the work, through the contrast of light and recycled lubricant oil. The work integrates the collection of the Contemporary Art Museum Kiasma.

Artist

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.

Chiara Ianeselli

Quel jour sommes-nous, 15-30 June 2022, co-curated with Bakul Patki, at Tokonoma, Kassel. Credit: Rene Graf. quel jour sommes-nous? (what day is it?) is a research project in the form of an exhibition that questions what makes an artwork - investigating the performativity and process of an exhibit, the acts that brought it into existence, and the context of its presentation. Featuring seventeen established and emerging artists, quel jour sommes-nous? explores the differing forms, lifespans, and pathways of artworks – with historicised and timeless, appropriated and reapproriated, unauthored and unauthorised, dismantled and intangible works, all of which sit beside a graduate piece that will be graded in situ, just ahead of the exhibition’s opening. An “unfinished” work will also be included. The concept of a finished work of art – one that is deemed ready to be shared – has been debated throughout art history, particularly in relation to potential different readings once it has been pulled from a definite temporal context. Continuing the contentious conversation around when a piece of art is complete, one work in progress will be taken from an artist’s studio, at a time of the curators’ choosing, and inserted into the exhibition. quel jour sommes-nous? reflects upon the evolution of the creative process – the choices, challenges and breakthroughs that come with making art – asking when, within this process, does something become a work of art, and who gets to decide? On which day is something ready to be sold or exhibited? Is today the day the artist has to surrender a work they might never see again? Extending this reflection on when a work comes into existence, the exhibition also asks whether it is possible for artworks to exist without an audience. How much is the public required for the creative process to be complete, and how preeminent is the artist’s vision in influencing the viewer’s experience of the work? quel jour sommes-nous? does not profess to answer these questions, but hopes to encourage examination and inspire further exploration. It is at once exhibition as research and research as exhibition
