Four Young Artists Explore Siena's Hidden Stories in 'Go to App – Digital Renaissance'

Curated by Valeria D'Ambrosio, the 'Go to App – Digital Renaissance' initiative showcases four Italian artists under 35—Adriana Amoruso, Giammarco Cugusi, Gabriele Dini, and Claudia Ponzi—who explore neglected stories of the Sienese region. Following a 30-day residency in areas such as Crete, Chianti, and Valdorcia, the artists unveil works that resonate with local cultural, social, historical, and landscape themes. The exhibition opens on Saturday, November 24, 2018, at the Museo dell'Antica Grancia e dell'Olio in Serre di Rapolano, coinciding with the Festa dell'Olio. This project is a partnership between the Siena School for Liberal Arts, Fondazione Musei Senesi, and Siena Art Institute. Amoruso (1991, Trani) captured her 'alien hunt' in an astronaut suit through various media, while Cugusi (1991, Bergamo) examined time and money. Dini (1985, Viareggio) contemplated the interaction between art and viewer at the museum in Asciano, and Ponzi (1988, Padova) delved into the memory associated with 'Piazza Padelle' in Petroio. The works will remain on view until May 2019 at Museo della Terracotta di Petroio, Museo civico Archeologico e d'Arte Sacra di Palazzo Corboli, and Museo del Paesaggio.
