Andrea Mastrovito launches Artribune's first artist podcast 'Monologhi al telefono'

Andrea Mastrovito is the first artist featured in 'Monologhi al telefono', a new podcast series by Artribune curated by Donatella Giordano. The format replaces traditional interviews with unstructured phone conversations where artists speak directly to an imagined listener, exploring intimate aspects of their practice. Mastrovito's monologue, recorded in February 2020, touches on drawing as a foundational tool, describing it as 'the space between words' and 'a reduction of problems to their minimum terms.' He discusses his technique, including collage, frottage, and video animation, and references his film 'Nysferatu' based on Murnau's 'Nosferatu' and his latest film 'Io Non Sono Leggenda', which received funding from the 2019 Italian Council. The monologue ends with a rendition of Brian May's 'Dear Friends'.
