NABA is glad to announce the many successes of Visual Arts Area’s ex-students that confirm the Visual Arts Department national and international positioning.
BA in Painting and Visual Arts’s alumna, Carla Giaccio won the DucatoPrize Academy Art Award with her sculpture “Tan a largo potro”. Her work was exhibited in Piacenza at Volumnia along with the other winners of the prestigious prize, born from the will of promoting the dialogue between contemporary art and the territory of Parma and Piacenza.
In Carla Giaccio’s work of art, a cast bronze, animal as much as human, sinks in the matrass of a cradle, the place of the origin of a single life, a thought and an intention. The image tries to become a memory of something we have never lived. At the same time the space of encounter between the forms and the materials is continuously being restored.
Camilla Alberti, ex-student of the BA in Painting and Visual Arts and of the MA in Visual Arts and Curatorial Studies was selected between the nine different artists from all over Europe that Hyunday invited to create unique pieces of art inspired by the design of the new model, BAYON. The artist’s piece is inspired by the intricate patterns in the BAYON's front grille, based on the idea of letting everything appear organic.
BA in Painting and Visual Arts’s alumnus Tomaso De Luca is also the winner of the second edition of MAXXI BVLGARI PRIZE, the important award that offers the chance of enhancing the collection of MAXXI museum in Rome with new works of art, with “A Week’s Notice” a video and sound installation on three channels, in which miniatures of houses, borrowed from the cinema, the history of architecture and the artist's private life, fly, collapse, and jam.
The ex-students of the MA in Visual Arts and Curatorial Studies Marco Antelmi and Jacopo Rinaldi, have been selected within the 70 artists of MEDITERRANEA 19, the Biennale of Young European and Mediterranean Artists entitled “The School of Waters!” organised by BJCEM – Biennale des Jeunes Créateurs de l’Europe et de la Méditerranée, and available within the many spaces of the historical nucleus of San Marino Republic until October 2021. Visual Arts Area’s alumnus Nicolas Vamvouklis is also one of the members of the international scientific committee of MEDITERRANEA 19, curated by “A Natural oasis?” a transnational research training based on the tools that social sciences provide to contemporary cultural practices that develops specific context-aware professional figures in the frame of a global contemporary artistic scene.
