Puglia.Circuito del Contemporaneo Launches with Two Exhibitions
A press conference for Puglia.Circuito del Contemporaneo took place at the Galleria Nazionale in Rome. This initiative, which spans three years and is curated by Giusy Caroppo, achieved the top position in 'Exhibition Events' and is co-funded by the Puglia Region through the 'Patto per la Puglia FSC 2014-2020'. Supported by Fondazione Ettore Pomarici Santomasi, Eclettica Cultura dell'Arte, and Polo Museale della Puglia, the project seeks to cultivate a contemporary art identity in Puglia. Notable speakers included Mariastella Margozzi, Mario Burdi, and Pasquale Cascella. The opening exhibitions are 'Victory of Democracy' by Andrei Molodkin on April 24 at Castello di Barletta, and 'Victory of Pain' in tribute to Vettor Pisani on April 25 at Gravina di Puglia.
