Premio Furla 2011: Pleure qui peut, rit qui veut, shortlist exhibition [curating]

29 Jan 2011 – 6 Feb 2011
The 8. Furla Prize 2011 evolved over its eight editions and is now recognised as the ultimate Italian prize in support of young Italian contemporary artists, with a format focusing on education and the production of new works. The patron artist of the 8. Furla Prize 2011 is Christian Boltanski, who created the image and motto of this edition, Pleure qui peut, rit qui vet, a sort of oxymoron for the 5 finalists: Alis/Filliol; Andrea Respino (Cuneo, 1976) and Davide Gennarino (Torino, 1979), nominated by Simone Menegoi and Marianne Lanegravere; Francesco Arena (Brindisi, 1978), nominated by Vincenzo De Bellis and Philippe Pirotte; Rossella Biscotti (Bari, 1978), nominated by Cecilia Canziani and Vincent Honore; Matteo Rubbi (Bergamo, 1980), nominated by Lorenzo Bruni and Carson Chan; Marinella Senatore (Salerno, 1977), nominated by Alfredo Cramerotti and Emily Pethick.
