Architecture of Intelligence
GIUSEPPE STAMPONE with DOM MIMÌ
By RAVE East Village Artists Residency
Architecture of Intelligence, the exhibition project by Giuseppe Stampone with the participation of Dom Mimi for the Vigne Museum, was the heart of The Age of Redress, an event conceived and organized by the VIGNE MUSEUM Cultural Association and RAVE East Village Artists Residency which took place in June 2019.
An encounter with Yona Friedman's architecture inspired an unprecedented project by Giuseppe Stampone, consisting of a series of designs in an open dialogue with Friedman's structures and presented together with photographs by Dom Mimi to create a real emotional map hosted within the Vigne Museum, which was transformed for the first time into a veritable open-air exhibition space.
Part of a larger and more complex project that Giuseppe Stampone created within the RAVE residency, The Architecture of Intelligence consists of:
"MIND BODY NETWORK / MIND BODY ENVIRONMENT / MIND BODY SPACE.
In The Architecture of Intelligence the BODY is interpreted as a personal body, the MIND becomes a private place, while the NETWORKS ENVIRONMENT AND SPACE create a public space for the sharing and participation with the memories, modernity and identity of the area, which unfolds in an emotional map."
Giuseppe Stampone
Giuseppe Stampone works by using the synergies of artistic languages associated with teaching and participatory practices, operating between material and immaterial reality on global issues such as the imbalances of ecosystems.
The distinctive feature of his recent artistic output is depicted by his decision to reinterpret traditional painting techniques through the use of a bic pen, an everyday tool that allows the artist to remove an image from the universe of daily media and restore to the creative dimension.
Some of his works have been exhibited in prestigious museums and exhibitions: Seoul Architecture Biennale, South Korea; 56th Venice Biennale; 11th Havana Biennial; Liverpool Biennial; 14th and 15th Quadrennial of Rome; Kunsthalle City Museum, Gwangiu; American Academy, Rome; MAXXI - National Museum of Art of the 21st Century.
Dom Mimi, extraordinary photographer who in his long career has immortalized the leading players and crucial moments of our time, from heads of state to pop icons, for newspapers such as Time, Life, National Geographic, Washington Post, New York Times, Newsweek and The Economist, has created photographic portraits of the animals he met at RAVE. In his words: ‘The camera has made animals into objects, into symbols. Their gaze, at the moment when it crosses ours, makes them once more into subjects, of which we become the object and background without being able to overturn this otherness in the reciprocity which we would display with another human being. Then that look nails us and imposes a disturbing question on us. Who is that guy who makes me his object without my being able to do the same without having to give up my "human" nature?
