Lucrezia Cippitelli and Simone Frangi Appointed Curators at Kunst Meran Merano Arte
Lucrezia Cippitelli (Rome, 1974) and Simone Frangi (Como, 1982) have been appointed curators for a three-year program at Kunst Meran Merano Arte titled "L'invenzione dell'Europa. Una narrativa tricontinentale." The project critically examines the concept of Europe through a tricontinental narrative, unfolding across the Kunsthaus spaces. Museum director Martina Oberprantacher praised the duo's deep aesthetic and intellectual engagement with social and political themes, emphasizing their research-based curatorial approach and focus on mediation. The program will explore Europe-Africa relations in 2024-2025, oceanic transitions (Atlantic and Indian) in 2025-2026, and Europe-Asia dynamics in 2026-2027. Cippitelli and Frangi aim to create a transmedial network of local, national, and international artists working across audiovisual, sonic, performative, and installation languages to support ethical reflections.
