A civil disobedience art intervention curated by Stefano S. Antonelli. 2500 mq of wallpaintings, installations, secret rooms & generic vandalism
I asked Seth to trigger a project both ambitious and simple, an artist residency in collaboration with city of Rome theatre called Teatro India. This place offers huge opportunities for an artist, three large industrial sheds and a park with industrial archaeological vestiges. This residency program has no obligations. You can organise a show, make a book, plan an installation or nothing at all, you can do whatever you want. I asked only one thing, I asked the artist to work in the space, to use possibly all the structure of the teather, even if it is not an obligation. How did it go?

SETH, RANGE TA CHAMBRE by Stefano S. Antonelli
I asked Seth to trigger a project both ambitious and simple, an artist residency in collaboration with city of Rome theater – Teatro India located in one of the most beautiful industrial-archeology facilities in Rome: the former Mira Lanza factory, which used to be an old soap factory in the last century. This place offers huge opportunities for an artist, three large industrial sheds and a park with industrial archaeological vestiges. When we were preparing with Seth, we spoke about installation works, theatrical dimension of the representation, spaces other than what is generally dedicated to those artists whose exhibitions are often made of hung-painting sequences or minimally installed. I have always been convinced that the “exhibition”, as it is conceived, is not the dimension needed for urban artists’ expression, and this of course comes after having experienced it first-hand curating number of them. I have also been to many urban artists exhibitions and I never had the feeling of being at the center of the ideas and thoughts of the artist but rather at a social event, what counts, in the end, is who comes, whether or not you sell, if you don’t sell you take the hit, you always have the street to redeem yourself. Forcing an urban artist to compete on the global art market under these conditions would be suicidal , that’s why this residency program has no obligations. You can organize a show, make a book, plan an installation or nothing at all, you can do whatever you want. We just offer to the artist liberty, budget and huge spaces, and see what happens, this is the spirit. I asked only one thing, I asked the artist to work in the space, to use possibly all the structure of the IndiaTheater, even if it is not an obligation. How did it go? On his arrival Seth explored the area, he wandered aimlessly in the enormous structure of the theater, took notes, made sketches, photos and then called me to tell me his plan. If you really wanna know How did it go, just come july 7. Whatever you expect, you’re not even close.

Seth è l’artista che inaugura il progetto 999FOUNDATION Artist Resistance Residency, un ciclo di residenze d’artista frutto della collaborazione tra 999Contemporary e il Teatro di Roma – Teatro Nazionale. Lo scenario in cui gli artisti sono chiamati ad esprimersi è lo splendido Teatro India nel quartiere Ostiense di Roma. Una delle più belle strutture di archeologia industriale riconvertita nel 1999 alla sperimentazione teatrale che si appresta ad accogliere questo progetto di ricerca artistica urbana contemporanea. Nasce nel contempo l’Atelier India, uno spazio in cui gli artisti possano creare, tenere laboratori, incontrare il pubblico per partecipare ai progetti che investiranno sia lo spazio del Teatro India che la città.

SETH, RANGE TA CHAMBRE di Stefano S. Antonelli
Ho invitato Seth per un progetto ambizioso quanto semplice, una residenza d’artista in collaborazione con Teatro di Roma negli spazi del Teatro India che ha sede in una delle più belle strutture di archeologia industriale della capitale, l’ex fabbrica delle Mira Lanza, dove nel secolo scorso si faceva il sapone. Il luogo offre enormi opportunità per un artista, tre grandi capannoni e un parco con vestigia di archeologia industriale. Nella fase di preparazione con Seth avevamo parlato di lavori installativi, di dimensione teatrale della rappresentazione, di spazi diversi da quanto, in genere, riservato a questi artisti le cui mostre sono spesso sequenze di quadri appesi o minimamente installati. Sono sempre stato convinto che la “mostra” così intesa non fosse la dimensione adatta alle necessità espressive degli artisti urbani, ovviamente dopo aver sperimentato in prima persona curandone un bel po’. Ho visto anche tante mostre di artisti di strada e mai ho avuto la sensazione di trovarmi al centro delle idee e del pensiero dell’artista ma piuttosto ad un evento mondano, conta chi viene, conta se vendi, se non vendi incassi il colpo, hai sempre la strada per riscattarti. Mettere un artista urbano nello stato di confrontarsi con il mercato in queste condizioni è un suicidio e per questo motivo questo programma di residenze non prevede obblighi. Puoi fare una mostra o un libro o un’installazione o niente, puoi fare quello che ti pare. Dai libertà, budget e grandi spazi espressivi ad un artista e vedi che succede, questo è lo spirito. Ho chiesto solo una cosa, ho chiesto all’artista di lavorare nello spazio, usare tutta la struttura del Teatro India se possibile, anche se non è un obbligo. Com’é andata? Al suo arrivo Seth ha esplorato il luogo, ha vagato senza meta nell’enorme struttura del Teatro India, ha preso appunti, fatto schizzi, foto e poi mi ha chiamato per comunicarmi il suo progetto. Se veramente volete sapere com’é andata venite il 7 luglio. Qualsiasi cosa vi aspettiate non ci siete nenache vicini.

ABSTRACT

War, Capitalism & Liberty are the contemporary issues explored in this museum exhibition through the artworks of the infamous international street artist known as Banksy. This thought-provoking exhibition is to be held at Palazzo Cipolla, in Rome, Italy from 24 May to 4 September, 2016. Curated exclusively from private collections, the exhibition brings together original paintings, limited edition prints, sculptures and rare objects from all over the world to be exhibited jointly for the first time, many artworks of which have never been shown previously. This is a non-profit exhibition characterized by a strong educational and school-focused component compromising of a scientific review of the artist known as Banksy. As a street artist with his roots in Bristol, UK, Banksy is arguably one of the street art’s most notorious champions with global recognition and influence. This exhibition will examine how social and political events of our world are depicted and viewed through the street art of Banksy; from his motif of monkeys declaring ‘Laugh Now But One Day I’ll Be in Charge’ to the chilling image of ‘Kids on Guns’. Banksy is one of most discussed, debated and acclaimed cultural figures of our age. His stark imagery, provoking messages and anonymous persona has captivated international audiences since he burst on the scene in the late 1990s. An urban artist, his media ranges from painting on canvas, screen-prints and sculpture to large installations and even the occasional livestock. His artwork reveals a unique mix of humour and humanity; it is created for the masses and affords a voice for those in – and indeed outside – of society who would otherwise not be heard. A recent example is his commentary on the refugee crisis and the after effects of Dismaland seen in his work at Calais, France. His anonymity and refusal to conform mean that he is as difficult to nail down as is his artwork, and thus a survey of his works has never been officially or unofficially brought together and exhibited in a private museum to a public audience. Produced by the Fondazione Terzo Pilastro this phenomenal museum exhibition would not have been possible without the kind support of private collection lenders from around the world. The exhibition will highlight Banksy’s unique artistic skills, with artworks spanning his entire career while exploring the themese of WAR, CAPITALISM and LIBERTY.
