Fuori dal vaso: Emerging Painters Collaborate with Creative Agency Vulcano in Mestre

The exhibition 'Fuori dal vaso' at Vulcano's new headquarters in Mestre Marghera presents the results of a residency where four emerging painters—Beatrice Gelmetti, Adelisa Selimbašić, Mattia Sinigaglia, and Francesco Zanatta—shared workspace and daily life with the creative agency's staff. Curated by independent curator Daniele Capra and Vulcano creative director Nico Covre, the project aimed to break the isolation of artists and explore the intersection of traditional painting with digital tools. The title, meaning 'out of the vase,' signals a willingness to go beyond established rules. The residency involved spontaneous interactions, shared meals, and the use of digital technologies by painters, challenging clichés about artistic practice. Vulcano, founded in 2019, has a history of collaborating with artists like Adrian Paci and Ivan Moudov. The exhibition runs at Vulcano's new space in Mestre Marghera, an industrial area chosen to challenge the notion that art is only shown in city centers.
