Spazio Y: The Roman Non-Profit Collective's Decade of Radical Art
Spazio Y, established in 2014 in the Quadraro area of Rome, is a non-profit art collective that has evolved into an exciting hub for contemporary art and research. The collective boasts members like Paolo Assenza, Germano Serafini, and Ilaria Goglia, among others. Their inaugural exhibition, titled "Portafortuna," focused on apotropaic art, cleverly rearranging the space to highlight lesser-seen aspects. Projects such as "Basic Necessities" and "M/AAV," along with their participation in Manifesta 12, showcase their commitment to building connections. Additionally, they publish three newsletters: "Incanti," "Render," and "PAX." This article, curated by Dario Moalli, appears in Artribune Magazine #69.
