January - June 2011
The current Italian art system represents an interesting laboratory in the context of a general redefinition of European cultural economical politics for the proliferation of independent projects, of forms of self organisation, a mix of public and private funding, and bottom up initiatives.
Nomas Foundation commissioned the Dutch collective Fucking Good Art to develop a research based editorial art project investigating the Italian cultural scene, vis à vis the current political and economic crises.
Through an itinerant residency that will take place in Rome, Bologna, Milan, Turin, Naples, the region Puglia and Palermo, Fucking Good Art is invited as an external expert to edit a guide through this country that serves both to map out its diverse and complex art scene, as well as to bring to surface elements that could be of help to other cultural practitioners across Europe in the face of a crisis that invested cultural work worldwide.
The publication Italia. Issue #28 will be presented to the public in June, as a result of the residency and research period spent in Italy.
Fucking Good Art is an artists duo formed by Rob Hamelijnck and Nienke Terpsma. Since the publication of the first Rotterdam issue in December 2003 they have made issues in Munich, Berlin, Dresden, Copenhagen, Riga and Switzerland and more. This will be the first Italian commission, framed in a very specific time in the political history of the country and follows closely the Swiss Issue, realised by FGA in 2008.
