The names of the five finalists and of the curators, protagonists of the eighth edition of one of the Italian excellence awards that support young contemporary artists, were announced

Pleure qui peut, rit qui veut (those who can, cry; those who want, laugh) is the title that accompanies the eighth edition of the Furla 2011 Award, contest that was born from the will of the Fondazione Querini of Venice, conceived by Chiara Bertola and promoted by the artistic sensibility of Giovanna Furlanetto, president of Furla, the Emilia leather brand, with MAMbo – Museum of Modern Art of Bologna, presented yesterday in Milan.
The slowness, portrayed by a graphic image that sees a clown in conflict between laughing and crying (under, the image), both pieces by the French artist Christian Boltanski, godfather of this edition, turns to open a new horizon of reflection on contemporary art that the Award is committed to represent, for ten years now, by supporting young Italian artists and curators, put to dialogue with art critics, museum directors and prestigious international art centers, to discover a new Italian way of art.
Protagonists of this new dialogue are the artists Andrea Respiro and Davide Gennarino, of the Alis/Filliol, Francesco Arena, Rossella Biscotti, Matteo Rubbi and Marinella Senatore, whose pieces, a mass of sculptures and installations of heterogeneous materials, selected by the curators Lorenzo Bruni, Cecilia Canziani, Alfredo Cramerotti, VincenzoDe Bellis, Simone Menegoi, Carson Chan, Vincent Honoré, Emily Pethick, Philippe Pirotte and Marianne Lanavère, will be exposed, one day after the announcement of the winner, from January 29 to the 6 of February 2011 at Palazzo Pepoli, historic Bologna building recently renovated by the Fondazione Carisbo, new partner of the Award.

L’attesa era forte, ed in effetti decisamente motivata, con l’evento che non ha tradito le aspettative. A Milano si presentava l’ottava edizione del Premio Furla, che ha calato subito un asso in grado di sbaragliare la partita: Christian Boltanski, che sarà l’artista – padrino e l’ideatore dell’immagine grafica e del titolo, Pleur qui peut, rit qui veut. “Una sorta di ossimoro – spiega Chiara Bertola, curatrice del premio – che apre la strada ai finalisti per l’ideazione dei loro progetti”.

E chi sono i cinque artisti finalisti? Alis/Filliol – Andrea Respino e Davide Gennarino, nominati da Simone Menegoi e Marianne Lanavère; Francesco Arena, nominato da Vincenzo De Bellis e Philippe Pirotte; Rossella Biscotti, nominata da Cecilia Canziani e Vincent Honoré; Matteo Rubbi, nominato da Lorenzo Bruni e Carson Chan; Marinella Senatore, nominata da Alfredo Cramerotti ed Emily Pethick.

Una giuria internazionale composta dallo stesso Christian Boltanski, da Stefano Chiodi (storico e critico d’arte), Vit Havranek (curatore e project leader del team curatoriale tranzit.org), Jörg Heiser (co-editor di Frieze Magazine e guest professor all’Art University di Linz, Austria), Miguel Von Hafe Pérez (direttore del Centro Galego de Arte Contemporáneo di Santiago de Compostela, Spagna) sceglierà il vincitore, che sarà annunciato il 28 gennaio 2011 a Bologna.

Il vincitore sarà invitato a realizzare un’opera finanziata dalla Fondazione Furla e destinata alla fruizione pubblica attraverso la concessione in comodato al MAMbo – Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna. L’opera del progetto vincitore sarà presentata in anteprima presso la Fondazione Querini Stampalia a Venezia nel giugno 2011, in concomitanza con la 54. Biennale di Arti Visive.

“Con questa ottava edizione che segna la chiusura del primo decennio del Premio Furla – ha detto Giovanna Furlanetto, Presidente della Fondazione Furla -, alla Fondazione Furla si affianca per il futuro la Fondazione Carisbo come partner istituzionale, che ha messo a disposizione per la mostra dei cinque artisti finalisti uno dei suoi spazi più prestigiosi, Palazzo Pepoli a Bologna, recentemente restaurato”.
