A conversation with Jacopo Rinaldi and Giulia Polenta
On Thursday, 12 February 2015 at 8.30 pm HangarBicocca presents The exhibition as an archive of suitable practices, a conversation with Jacopo Rinaldi and Giulia Polenta in the “bau bau” exhibition. The visit to the “bau bau” exhibition examines the theme of the archive as a model for interpreting works of art, starting with Support Structure (Red). This work illustrates Céline Condorelli’s artistic research into the production of Egyptian cotton, coupled with aspects of the history of Italian industry, of Milan and the Bicocca district, and in particular of Pirelli and HangarBicocca.
Jacopo Rinaldi, an artist and former pupil of Céline Condorelli, took part in the preliminary research leading up to Céline Condorelli’s exhibition. Giulia Polenta, a former student under Céline Condorelli, is a researcher and curator, and she too participated in the artist’s research.
