comunicato stampa

Curated by Raffaele Bedarida

Harem Studio Fellowship (HSF) is pleased to present Cohabitations: Studies on Beasts, Plants, and Objects, an exhibition showing works and projects realized by HSF fellows during their stay in New York (October-December 2007). Curated by Raffaele Bedarida, Cohabitations includes three Italian artists: Leone Contini Bonacossi, Federico Donelli, and Gianni Moretti.

Cohabitations: Studies on Beasts, Plants, and Objects focuses on parallel levels of unnatural coexistences in wrong habitats. Contini Bonacossi has provoked, composed, and documented germinations of seeds and tubers in artificial contexts, desperate rituals of resurrection in the Whole Food era. Moretti syntethized the metaphoric and physical coexistence of mice, deer, and newyorkers, in images that stand between the spolvero drawings used for Renaissance frescoes and the more recent stancils. Donelli imposed fake memories on found objects by means of textual fragments, a reflection on the automatic narratives of history and fictional intimacies of insignificant objects.

HSF visitors are invited to follow the developments of Susy Blu’s photographic project On the Block, a systematic study/portrait of the the houses’ interiors on HSF’s block. Documents ad images of the work in progress are now on display.

HSF is a residency program for international artists. Conceived by Ruggero Montrasio and curated by Raffaele Bedarida, the program invites three young artists every three months. HSF provides them with housing and studio in Harlem, NYC. HSF gives a welcome party after one month of each group's residence, in order to introduce the Harlem Studio fellows to New York friends and public. Every three-month period will end with a group exhibition, displaying works and projects accomplished by each artist during his/her stay in New York. In every spring from 2008 on, a show will be held (catalogue published by Silvana Editoriale), displaying a selection from the artists in residence during the previous year.
