The Power

Traveling Exhibition 

Presented at Paratissima 2023, Turin

7 Artists from the Netherlands and Italy

THE PROJECT

The Power art project for 2023-2024, in the new format of a traveling contemporary art exhibition, investigates, challenges, and reformulates the concept of Power. The exhibition offers an immersive experience, in which seven visionary artists from the Netherlands and Italy come together to create works that question and celebrate Power in all its facets.

THE CONCEPT, WHAT IS THE POWER?

Through conceptual art, video art, and installation, the exhibition invites the public to profound reflection. The exhibition project explores the various forms of power: the power of the mind and the internal dynamics that derive from it, social power in its structural manifestations, the power of nature, the power of time, the power of memory, the power of the universe, and the power of art.

Artists explore the concepts of resilience, self-determination, consciousness, and awareness, inviting us to explore our potential for change and to reflect on the possibilities of a future in which power is equally distributed.

WHY ART MATTERS NOW?

Supporting artists, rewarding with our interest the passion and commitment of those who daily make art their mission, must not be a luxury. Breaking down the walls of indifference and shortsightedness (cultural, political, and social) is not a pipe dream, but rather our specific responsibility, and it is in our hands. Let us take back this POWER to bring truth and beauty. Art has never been more needed. Now more than ever, let us support it to fulfill its irreplaceable function of making this world a better place for all.

IL PROGETTO

Il progetto artistico Il Potere, per il periodo 2023-2024, nel nuovo formato di mostra itinerante d'arte contemporanea, indaga, sfida e riformula il concetto di Potere. L'esposizione offre un'esperienza coinvolgente, in cui sette artisti provenienti dall'Olanda e dall'Italia si uniscono per creare opere che mettano in discussione e celebrino il Potere in tutte le sue sfaccettature.

IL CONCEPT

Attraverso l'arte concettuale, la videoarte e l'installazione, la mostra invita il pubblico a una profonda riflessione. Il progetto espositivo esplora, infatti, le varie forme del potere: il potere della mente e le dinamiche interiori che ne derivano, il potere sociale nelle sue manifestazioni strutturali, il potere della natura, il potere del tempo, il potere della memoria, il potere dell'universo, il potere dell'arte. Gli artisti indagano il concetto di resilienza, autodeterminazione, coscienza e consapevolezza e ci invitano a sondare il nostro potenziale di cambiamento e a riflettere sulle possibilità di un futuro in cui il potere è equamente distribuito.

LA RIFLESSIONE CRITICA

Supportare gli artisti, premiare con il nostro interesse la passione e l'impegno di chi giornalmente fa dell'arte la sua missione, non deve essere un lusso; abbattere i muri dell'indifferenza e della miopia (culturale, politica e sociale) non è una chimera ma è una nostra precisa responsabilità, ed è nelle nostre mani. Riprendiamoci questo POTERE per portare verità e bellezza. Mai c'è stato più bisogno d'arte. Ora più che mai, sosteniamola per assolvere alla sua insostituibile funzione di rendere questo mondo un luogo migliore per tutti.

Il Potere

Mostra Itinerante presentata a Paratissima 2023, Torino

7 Artisti tra Olanda e Italia

Arjan Spannenburg

Photography / photo installation

Caterina Crepax

Art Paper Renaissance

Arjan Spannenburg’s photography focuses on identity and self-expression. Through powerful, mostly black-and-white compositions, he portrays adolescents in a fragile, transitional moment, caught between the search for individuality and the need to connect with the outside world for support, understanding, and love. His images invite viewers to reflect on the relationship between vulnerability and the expression of the self. 

Born and raised in Milan, where she graduated in Architecture, Caterina Crepax has devoted the past two decades of her artistic career to working with paper and preserving the artistic legacy of her father, Guido Crepax, the celebrated comic artist who created Valentina in 1965. She has collaborated with renowned designers such as Alessandro Mendini and Roberto Cavalli, curating major exhibitions and projects with them. Caterina also teaches at the Faculty of Architecture, Fine Arts, and Design in Milan.

Alice Padovani

Le Otto porte / Art installation

Valentin Bakardjiev

Tesseract / Art installation

He has lived and worked in Bulgaria, the Dominican Republic, Italy (Milan), and now resides in the Netherlands (Amsterdam). He has presented numerous solo and group exhibitions in cities such as Paris, Amsterdam, Geneva, Shanghai, Milan, Toyota City, and Chicago.

His work blends traditional and contemporary elements, bridging Eastern and Western influences. As he states, her practice reveals how cultures are connected through their efforts to unite people, nature, and artifacts.

Using natural and recycled materials and ancient craft techniques, his work enters a new realm of sustainability and multidisciplinary art.

With a background in Philosophy and Visual Arts, she worked as an actress and director in contemporary theatre before developing her career as a visual artist. Focusing on drawing, installation, and performance, she has exhibited in solo and group shows nationally and internationally, with works held in collections in Rome, Paris, and London. Her practice explores decontextualized fragments of nature, creating accumulations and traces where natural and personal memory converge.

Sanda Sudor

E pur si muove/ Art installation

Sanda Sudor is an artist who, for over forty years, has devoted herself not only to her own creative path but also to discovering new talents and developing projects at the intersection of art and design. Her mission has always been to support other artists.

She founded the Alina Art Foundation,  driven by the belief that art can embody a form of justice, one that moves within the realm of rights and values while still embracing utopia and beauty, including the inner radiance of those who have suffered violence and seek justice

EPVS, Elena Panarella Vimercati Sanseverino, born in Germany and active in Rome, is a multifaceted artist who has explored a wide range of visual expressions—from sculpture and photography to neon works and interactive, relational installations. She has created several interventions at MAAM in Rome, the DIF Museo Diffuso in Formello, and Cittadellarte–Fondazione Pistoletto. Most of her exhibitions have taken place abroad, and her work is included in numerous public and private collections.

Enrico Valeruz

video

Born in Cavalese (TN) in 1990, he developed a passion for art during his early studies and later pursued Painting at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, completing a master’s degree in Art History and Criticism at the University of Milan. His search for a medium aligned with his sensibility led him to video, which he found most suitable for his artistic inquiry. Through video, both sculptural and painterly, he explores its expressive potential, investigating the human condition and its existence within contemporary visual culture.
