She later attended the Conceptual Art course at the Summer Academy of Fine Arts in Salzburg – with Roman Opalka and Gunter Ueker – and the Experimental Graphic course at the International School of Graphics of Venice. Bedeschi has been working for a long time in the field of painting and sculpture: she has exhibited in national and international contexts, favouring installations and site specific works.

Tiziano Bellomi (Verona, 1960) lives and works in Verona. He gained his diploma at the Liceo Artistico Statale of Verona, and at the international School of Graphics in Venice. He was also awarded a diploma in painting at the G. B. Cignaroli art school in Verona. Bellomi uses painting, drawing, photography, video, etching, sculpture, and installations for his art research. He has participated in art residences, solo shows, and group shows in Italian and foreign museums and galleries.

Piero Chiariello was born in 1972 in Torre del Greco (Naples) where he still lives and works. After having studied Architecture at the University “Federico II”, his art research has been articulated through painting, photography, music, video, sculpture and installations. He has exhibited his artworks in various national and international occasions, including MAXXI and MACRO in Rome, the 54° Venice Biennale, the international project of digital art SPAMM and three editions of the New Digital Art Biennale in Brazil.

Marco Ferri was born in 1968 in Tarquinia, where he lives and works.

Dino Izzo was born in 1948 in Naples, where he still lives and works. Fascinated by signs and materiality of writing, he has always reflected with several methods and techniques on the “expressive insufficiency of the word and the wear of the image”. His artworks come from the interpretation of quickly traced graphite signs and the titles given, which become like an art literary archive. He has exhibited in Italy since 1975 and also in foreign cities as Copenhagen, Göteborg, Bern, Zurich, Chicago, Tokyo and Los Angeles since 1988.

Giulio Zanet - Wallpapers for your phone 8

Mazzacana Gallery presents the ten digital artworks created by Giulio Zanet for the exhibition Wallpapers for your phone #8, curated by Piero Chiariello. The artworks will be free to download starting at 6:30 PM (CEST) on December 4th 2021, and they will become available upon payment at the end of the event – January 4th 2022 – or after 500 copies downloaded.

Colors have great power. They are evocative. They comfort. Convey. Zanet, through his paintings, look for a way to amplify their ability to communicate positivity, happiness. He studies a system to distill harmony from chaos, to find a meaning, a balance, a compositive effectiveness, despite not having the certainty of fully reaching it. His relationship with painting is truly intimate, his art practice is a way of being in the world, a continuous attempt to understand it.

Piero Chiariello, curator of the exhibition.

Simone Bubbico – Wallpapers for your phone #7

Simone Bubbico - Wallpapers for your phone 7

Mazzacana Gallery presents the ten digital artworks created by Simone Bubbico for the exhibition Wallpapers for your phone #7, curated by Federica Lavarini. The artworks will be displayed on the screen of some smartphones installed in gallery, in addition the works will be free to download starting at 6:30 PM (CEST) on October 23rd 2021, and they will become available upon payment at the end of the event – November 23rd 2021 – or after 500 copies downloaded.

Simone Bubbico approches the research on the light-shadow, man-nature dualism to technology: thin wildflowers grow on Venus de Milo, emblem of classical culture, as well as on the studies for sculptural models, custodian of ideal beauty. But it’s nature, in its more hostile manifestation, to draw our attention from a long time. Now it’s among us to recover its spaces. And yet, in the In bloom series, it still shows kindness: it’s elegant, capable of induce a subtle reflection; it’s light but also darkness and, in a game of fantastic illusions, refers to dreams survived to distruction.

Federica Lavarini, curator of the exhibition.
