Exhibitions

Publications being either at the start or the ending point of each show, the 6 exhibitions of Fruit Exhibition 2018 present a number of different subjects, techniques and medias; however, they all have a common feature: they create a new way to read and represent human beings and reality inviting the viewer to look at reality under a different perspective.

As for the last couple of years, Fruit Exhibition 6 reinforces its urban network with an off site project. But not just that!

This year Fruit invites you to meet the artists in a short program of free guided tours.

It is possible to take part to the free guided tours simply registering at FRUIT INFO POINT
up to 10 minutes before the start.

+ 1000 MILLARD

by Peter Millard
curated by Stefano Riba and Claudia Polizzi
Palazzo Re Enzo, 02-04 February 2018

During the week spent in Bolzano at the artist residency DI.DA, the artist created a series of charcoal sketches starting from a specific perspective of the mountains and the landscape. The drawings then became frames for a movie, that will be presented for the first time at Fruit Exhibition 8, and the pages of his first artist’s book, whose editorial project was edited by Claudia Polizzi.
The project was supported by Bolzano City Council.

IL MEDITERRANEO E’ PIETRA

by Laura Canali
curated by Laura Canali
Palazzo Re Enzo, 02-04 February 2017

The Mediterranean Sea is the beating heart of a world made of countries we have been dealing with for centuries.
However, the horizon of the Sea appears now threatening to us. Wars and migrants force us to push our gaze beyond the dunes of the Sahara desert.
In fact, it is only by facing the reality that we can understand what is going on nowadays.

NOISY TRIP

by Giovanni Catania aka The Green Cut
published by PROTT Edizioni
Palazzo Re Enzo, 02-04 February 2018

In the fetal phase, before any other sense develops, the first channel of perception is hearing. A primordial form of hearing able to discriminate sounds through vibrations and frequencies.
A question raises from this thought. A questions that needs to be answered: for human beings quantifying, qualifying and measuring the reality is a natural need; is it possible then to obtain an exact correspondence between sound and image? Noisy Trip is the answer to this question.

Bio
Giovanni Catania, aka The Green Cut, studies in three different Italian Academies of Fine Arts, studying Painting in Lecce and Florence (where Noisy Trip was born in 2015), and Comics in Bologna. The artist exhibits his works all around the world, amongst which being the highlight of Brescia Biennial and at the Trierenberg Supercircuit in Austria. He has collaborated with several publishers as editor and illustrator, opening his own publishing house, Prott Edizioni, in 2015, but in the end his dream is still to be a cook for the rest of his life.

BURST. A BOOKS EXPLOSION

Over 50 authors reinvent the concept of “book”
by Chippendale Studio
in collaboration with Capodilucca Creative Hub
Capodilucca Creative Hub, 02-04 Febbraio 2017
Via Capo di Lucca 12-12A

Explosion, burst, shots, rift, gash… the exhibition title suggest a number of different meanings. However, each one of these terms connect with the idea of change.
Burst, in scientific jargon, also means a swift but temporary rise of measures: a peak, a swing.
That’s exactly what the authors recreate with their books, realized during the workshop Dummy Photobook curated by Chippendale Studio: swinging in and out the fixed schemes of publishing, they break the books up – burst – in a number of different visual perspective.
