There Is No Place Like Home: Itinerant Art Project Founded in Rome
So, there's this cool mobile art project called There Is No Place Like Home, which started in Rome back in 2014. It showcases art in some pretty unusual spots, like construction sites and even fishing boats on the Tiber River. The group includes artists like Alessandro Cicoria, Stanislao Di Giugno, Giuseppe Pietroniro, Daniele Puppi, and Marco Raparelli, along with art historians Giuliana Benassi and Giulia Lopalco. Each exhibition is unique to its location, with no set theme, letting artists connect with the environment. Their first show was at a construction site on Via Aurelia Antica 429, lasting 72 hours. They've also set up events in Venice (2015), Valle Aurelia in Rome (2015), a fishing boat at Ponte Marconi (2016), and Turin (2017) during the NESXT festival, featuring artists like Josè Angelino and Justin Randolph Thompson, focusing on community and vulnerability. The project really emphasizes collaboration and aims to redefine the role of art in today’s conversations.
