A Place to Stay<\/em>\u00a0by Cecilia Mentasti, Installation view of the exhibition A Place to Stay<\/em>\u00a0curated by Marta Cereda and Laura Lamonea, Careof, 2024, Ph. \u00a9Francesco Paleari<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In continuity with the work of flanking and intermediation that Video Sound Art carries out to support new artistic productions, thanks to the contribution of MiC and SIAE, as part of the \u201cFor Those Who Create\u201d program, since February 2024 the production centre has been engaged in the construction of the work A Place to Stay<\/em> by artist Cecilia Mentasti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nine months of development of this ambitious project returned us to an audio installation, a photographic project and a publication that converge in the exhibition A place to stay<\/em> curated by Marta Cereda (Curator and co-director of Careof) and Laura Lamonea (Artistic Director of VSA), programmed from October 10 to November 1, 2024<\/strong>, in the spaces of Careof<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project is accompanied by a catalog published by the historic publishing house Corraini Edizioni, with contributions by Marta Cereda, Davide Colombo, Laura Lamonea and Giulia Zompa. On the occasion of the 20th edition of Giornata del Contemporaneo, on the morning of Saturday, October 12<\/strong>, Careof hosted the presentation of the catalog with the presence of the artist and the authors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work consists of a selection of 200 stories of Italian artists, women and men, told to 200 dogs, which we find photographed and portrayed in the exhibition. The research has seen Cecilia Mentasti (Varese, 1993) digging deep into libraries and archives, among them the Library of the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome<\/strong>, the ASAC Archive of the Venice Biennale <\/strong>and in Milan those of the State University<\/strong> and Careof<\/strong>.
The artist makes a personal rewriting of art history, selecting little-known works and sometimes reconsidering the role of figures traditionally neglected or outside traditional art circuits.
What is art today and what role should it play in society? The dog, a recurring presence in art history – devotional icon and witness to social transformations – seems to be the right recipient of this question. The artist\/dog listening association is a not insignificant step in the communicative process: if the tragic story of Francesco Lo Savio immediately seemed close to the elderly Isotta’s sensibility, Laura Grisi is the perfect artist for the lively Ambra, particularly for that work in which the wind whips at 40 knots in a room. Cecilia Mentasti’s dogs invite us to experience a more instinctive, deep and empathetic love for art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
