GestoZero: 70+ Artists from Bergamo, Brescia, Cremona Unite at Museo del Violino

Over seventy artists from the hard-hit Lombard provinces of Bergamo, Brescia, and Cremona present more than one hundred photographs, paintings, sculptures, videos, and performances at the Museo del Violino in Cremona. The exhibition, titled 'GestoZero. Istantanee 2020,' originated from an idea by Brescian artist Maurizio Donzelli, who in April 2020 wrote a manifesto called GestoZero. He invited artists to photograph their hands at work just as creation was about to occur. Co-curators Ilaria Bignotti and Giorgio Fasol selected works without hierarchy or age constraints, aiming to document the pandemic's impact and foster renewal. Featured artists include Marco Amedani (LED strip 'O Hue'), Filippo Berta (performance 'Livello 0'), Mario Cresci (photograph 'Minimum'), Maurizio Donzelli (mixed media 'O' and 'Mirror'), Antonio Marchetti Lamera ('Tempo anticipato'), Mauro La Rosa (photographs from 'Il sistema sogna solo nell’oscurità totale'), Serena Nicolì ('Acqua salata'), Gabriele Picco ('L’ascoltatore'), and Camilla Rossi ('Semina!'). The catalogue is published by Skira.
