Presentation by Aria Spinelli (Italy) - current curator-in-residence at the 'Art Commune' Artist-in-Residence Program organized by ACSL. The step towards overcoming the power of the image lies in the ability to communicate that unsaid and untold human transmission between bodies and souls, in which there is more to see than our imagination will let us. If the invisible is somewhat as being 'not visible', and in this sense, it can become a political act, being blind is a human condition, in which beings are forced to experience the world without sight. My proposal is to research on the potentiality of blindness, as being without sight, and to research on those artists who deal with zones of conflict, through the construction of aesthetic modes of communication without the use of the visible. In this sense, my aim is to concentrate on the aspect of transmission and translation in the work of the artists. The presentation involves works by italian artists Eva Frappiccini, Maria Pecchioli, Andrea Romano, Mirko Smerdel and Marco Strappato. Aria Spinelli (1981, New York) is a curator who lives and works in Milan. www.ariaspinelli.com
