Innesti / Graftings
An exhibition by Elena Hamerski and Stefano Stagni
curated by Stefano W. Pasquini
A commercial photographer, co-curator of a contemporary art space, and an artist are forced to meet up, united by the will of the curator to make them collaborate. They have little in common, but enthusiasm springs up and their diverse competences and backgrounds becomes fertile ground to make the work go towards an unexpected, new direction.
"Innesti / Graftings" is a sort of game of art and contemporary photography where both artist collaborate using each other's poetics and interests, meeting up into a transgenerational project that is bound to surprise us. (AMACI)
