Exchange, Mobility and the Legacy of Exploration","summary":"Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have retreated to our homes and cemented ourselves in a safety zone, unable to seek exchanges that defy the physical boundaries set to protect oneself and others. This exhibition seeks to subvert the traditional means of creating and exhibiting art by retracing the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci\u2019s voyages to the Americas. It will encourage a form of correspondence which occurs by sending an empty parcel to the first artist who, adding or changing its content, will send it on to the next. In accordance with BIENALSUR\u2019s ethos, the Global South will initiate these conversations around visual culture exhibited in Western Europe. With this aim, Vespucci\u2019s routes will be reversed as our parcels will start from South and Central America. Two parcels will follow Vespucci\u2019s first two voyages in reverse order: while the first one will reach artists based in Haiti, Guyana, Spain and Italy, the second one will be sent to Argentina, Brazil and Portugal. \nThis artistic postal-experiment is grounded on the Mail Art movement, which emerged as a cost-effective and accessible artform in the late 1960s and connected artists globally. Collaboration sits at the heart of this project, as a form of artistic practice that connects otherwise isolated subjects. Ultimately, this exhibition uses this time in which international travel has been halted to rethink and challenge the historical legacy of \u2018exploration\u2019.","space":"Accademia Spagna in Rome, exhibition space \u2013 https:\/\/www.accademiaspagna.org\/galleria-fotografica\/?lang=it","artists_proposal":"Myrlande Constant, Haiti-based \u2013 https:\/\/indigoarts.com\/artists\/myrlande-constant \nAndrew Lyght, Guyana-born https:\/\/www.skotogallery.com\/viewer\/scripts\/local\/press.release.asd\/id\/226\/vts\/sidebarRight \nTeresa Solar, Spain-based https:\/\/www.teresolar.com \nEmilio Isgr\u00f2, Italy-based https:\/\/www.emilioisgro.info\/en\/ \n\nSecond Voyage:\nGuillermo Kuitca, Argentina-based https:\/\/www.hauserwirth.com\/artists\/2794-guillermo-kuitca \nAnna Maria Maiolino, Brazil-based https:\/\/www.hauserwirth.com\/artists\/2833-anna-maria-maiolino \nPier Paolo Calzolari, Portugal-based https:\/\/www.marianneboeskygallery.com\/artists\/pier-paolo-calzolari\/","members":[{"names":"Giulia","surname":"Morale","email":"morale.giulia@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"YA8938573","address":"6A Sternhall Lane","city":"London","nacionality":"Italian","country_id":"81","birthdate":"1995-12-13T00:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1995-12-13T00:00:00.000Z","telephone":"00447437753360","web":null},{"names":"Marjotte","surname":"Miles","email":"marjotte.miles@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"GBR520406053","address":"Flat 5 Waterfront House 211 Lower Bristol Road BA2 3DQ  BATH Somerset","city":"Bath","nacionality":"British","country_id":"81","birthdate":"1997-09-17T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1997-09-17T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"\u202d00447490 505545\u202c","web":null},{"names":"Sterre","surname":"Barentsen","email":"sterre.barentsen@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"NRDD640J5","address":"Ziegelstra\u00dfe 13a (zimmer 220)  10117 Berlin","city":"Berlin","nacionality":"Dutch","country_id":"61","birthdate":"1997-09-19T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1997-09-19T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+49 175 3461605\u202c","web":null}],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Giulia","surname":"Morale","email":"morale.giulia@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"YA8938573","address":"6A Sternhall Lane","city":"London","nacionality":"Italian","country_id":"81","birthdate":"1995-12-13T00:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1995-12-13T00:00:00.000Z","telephone":"00447437753360","web":null,"fileCount":3}
