Call For Papers

Bergamot Station Art Center SMMoA, Santa Monica

Building Bridges Art Foundation (BBAF), Bice Bugatti Club and The Italian Cultural Institute (IIC) of Los Angeles are pleased to present Call for Papers, an exhibit by three Italian artists engaged with this simple yet noble media. Their individual use of color adds to their personal diary in which paper is the main protagonist of expression. Formed at the prestigious Brera Art Academy of M ilan, where they are now faculty, Italo Bressan, Franco Marrocco and Alessandro Savelli, have been the artistic reference point of M ilan for more than 20 years.
Anna Dusi, Curator

Since the late 70's and after the international success of the Transavanguard, several generations of Italian artists have effectively practiced a return to painting. Particularly significant was the generation who rediscovered and practiced with perseverance original forms of abstraction. For these artists who nowadays are more than 50 years old color marked and marks the "movement" of the poetic framework.
Giovanni Iovane, Curator

The IIC was established in Los Angeles in 1984 by the Italian M inistry of Foreign Affairs to promote Italian culture. Its building, in Westwood, houses an art gallery, a theater for screenings, lectures, and concerts, as well as a video and book library. Many events are also organized in collaboration with numerous cultural institutions and we are very pleased to partner with Building Bridges Art
Foundation and the Bice Bugatti Club for this special initiative. In this collective exhibit Italian contemporary art is represented by three artists of the same generation, using the same simple yet very expressive medium, and all trusting the evocative power of color.
Massimo Sarti, IIC Los Angeles Acting Director
