Collective Spaces
STUDIO SHARING - ACT II with Rebecca Agnes, Caterina Aicardi, Barbara Fragogna e Stefania Migliorati
SPAZIO C8 - projectroom, Via Savona 97, 20144 Milano
26 September 2015
The second session of the Studio Sharing project involves four artists in the suggestive context of the studios in Via Savona in Milan.
Some of the artists will be in Milan for the project Città Ideale at the Fabbrica del Vapore and decided to use the opportunity to open a parallel debate about the nature and processes of sharing resources and artist studios in an era where work as a professional artist is tied to an ever-increasing amount of travel between numerous cities.
In collaboration with SPAZIO C8, the project aims to create opportunities for discussion and to question the qualities of an artist studio as a specific personal and private space, reconsidering it in light of its public values.
By focusing on the social aspect, we intend to analyze the relationship between the artist and his/her work space, how mobility has changed its use and created chances to conceive site-specific productions.

My Cage Is Your Palace, 2012
Barbara Fragogna
Ink on paper, 250 x 150 cm
The cage is the body, the palace is the body. The cage is the self's narrow view. The palace is the other's view. The approach is comparative, the mutual mirror of a subjective truth.
The dermal layer analyzes the surface of this metaphysical body. The small, obsessive net of triangles forms an organic structure of sensations. The body is an atmospheric landscape, full of erotic tension and desire. The unfulfilled contact is the climax's epiphany.
