Mi avvolgo nelle coperte, le indosso, le rendo abito per cane, io come i cani, sto da solo.

Studio Exhibit – When Attitudes Become Re-form

‘When Attitudes Become Form’ was a groundbreaking exhibition held in 1969 in Bern and re-staged in Venice in 2013 at Prada Foundation. During the summer semester of AY 2019-2020, students were invited to choose, out of the original show, one artist each and to reconstruct the work. They were also expected to produce a work of their own, which would resonate with their replica experience. Important was to introduce the concept of the artist as participant in an ongoing discourse, throughout appropriation and translation.
