BoCs Art Residency in Cosenza Launches New Cycle with Young Curators
Since April 2018, Giacinto Di Pietrantonio has led the BoCs Art residency in Cosenza, which is now undergoing a transition following the contentious replacement of Alberto Dambruoso. Four emerging curators—Roberta Aureli, Simone Ciglia, Caterina Molteni, and Alberta Romano—have chosen artists born in the late 1980s and early 1990s, such as Veronica Bisesti, Alessandra Calò, and Apparatus 22. The residency is scheduled from July 16 to August 2, culminating in a showcase at BoCs and subsequently at the BoCs Art Museum. A novel aspect includes lending artworks to local residents for public exhibition. Di Pietrantonio has named this initiative "La Città del Sole," reflecting Cosenza's urban revitalization. Additional residencies are set for September and November, with application submissions accepted via email.
