Elena Mazzi's 'Atlante Energetico' at GAM Torino

Elena Mazzi discusses her project 'Atlante Energetico,' a residency and workshop program at Fondazione Spinola Banna in collaboration with GAM Torino under director Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev. The project, supported by Compagnia di San Paolo, focused on energy themes, particularly rice paddies in Piedmont, which provide 21% of human energy. The workshop was split into two periods with five participants, and public presentations occurred in non-museum spaces like the library and bar. Mazzi invited external guests, including Nature Addicts Fund, leading the group to Eleusis, Greece for their annual Academy. The resulting publication is not a traditional catalog but an artist's book compiling contributions. Mazzi acted as both artist and tutor, curating the process collectively with participants.
