In particular, my work examines what are the \u2018situations\u2019, the rules, and all the actions that lead to the formation of such a complex community. Considering \u2018community\u2019 in a positive sense, namely as a social group, a social environment to which people wish and try to belong.\n\nTo say that football is simply a game, or a sporting discipline does not allow us to understand the practices of hooligans. It is a form of collective activity that condenses profound social meanings. My work considers hooligans in terms of an \u2018Imagined Community\u2019 in Benedict Anderson\u2019s sense: a sophisticated ensemble of rules, identities, and codes. Indeed, supporters adopt a particular lifestyle to build a sort of nation to which they feel they belong, despite the absence of a real connection to its people.  The artistic artifacts will represent the intrinsic relation between football and violence, focusing mainly on the ritualized confrontations and how groups construct their collective identity.\n\nThe ambition of this artwork is to give a more profound insight into the phenomenon of hooliganism, paying attention to the symbolic value of identity and social representation thought artistic production. The output will try to answer the following question: how is a Hooligan Community \u2018imagined\u2019 \u2014 in Anderson\u2019s sense \u2014 and reproduced in an artistic dimension?","space":"My artistic intervention serves different mediums, such as sculptures and site-specific installations. The artwork is mostly composed of beer cans, flags, banner, spray paint, stickers, acrylic textile, smoke bombs.\nSince space, where the work is exhibited, is thought to be a sort of \"conquested area\", there's no particular requirement for it. It's the artwork that shapes its characteristics according to the location. For a better understanding of it, an indoor space would be preferred.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"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":"Alberto","surname":"Cattani","email":"albertocattani@me.com","dni_type":"DNI","dni":"AU 3355252","address":"Via Melette 11","city":"Vicenza","nacionality":"Italy","country_id":"113","birthdate":"1994-03-20T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1994-03-20T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+393381884055","web":"albertocattani.info"}
