Nagla Contemporary Arts Farm Returns for Second Edition in Salento
The second edition of Donato Viglione's nagla | contemporary arts farm in Specchia, Salento, is now underway, running until September 2018. Established in 2012, this venue, which features a B&B (Donna Bianca) alongside exhibition areas, initially concentrated on painting. This year's edition diversifies to showcase performance, installation, and video art. Six artists—Luca Coclite, Chantal Criniti, Federica Francesconi, Debora Garritani, Emanuele Puzziello, and Fabrizio Segaricci—are presenting site-specific or reinterpreted works, chosen in partnership with Circoloquadro. The term 'nagla,' meaning 'nail' in Latvian, was selected by Agnese Skujina, the first artist to exhibit there in 2012. In 2017, previous exhibitions featured Milena Sgambato, Agnese Skujina, Samuel Mello, Massimo Pasca, and Massimo Dalla Pola.
