Corpo Festival in Pescara Tackles Performance Art Market
The Corpo festival was held from May 5 to 7, 2016, in Pescara and Montesilvano, Italy. The event, themed 'Market and Economy of an Ephemeral Art,' was organized by CAPPA, with a focus on the intersection of art and commerce. Activities included discussions, lectures, and performances featuring a diverse range of participants such as artists and academics. A highlight was the auction-style presentation 'Vendere l’anima – Sell Your Soul' by Alessandro Monticelli and Claudio Pagone. Cesare Pietroiusti also showcased a work that challenged conventional market practices, alongside contributions from Andrea Ferrante, Marco Fioramanti, Giovanni Gaggia, and Guido Cabib.
