Quotidiana 2011: Scouting for Future Biennales in Padua

exhibition · 2026-05-05

The Quotidiana 2011 exhibition in Padua showcases emerging artists, with Claudia Rossini's daily window photographs and Teodoro Lupo's exploration of abandoned public spaces. Lorenzo Mazzi's 120-meter electric cable creates a light source and obstacle. The event includes Q Esposizione, Q aperta, and Q a parole, addressing sustainability and research promotion. Participants can nominate for the Biennale of Young Artists from Europe and the Mediterranean in Thessaloniki and win a residency at NAC in Rotterdam. However, the exhibition suffers from inadequate spaces and uneven project quality, possibly due to too many competitions or lax selection. The city's lack of follow-up policies hinders the art scene.
