Potrei diventare parte di te T293 Via Ripense, 6, 00153 Roma Opening: June 1, 2022, from 6 pm to 8 pm On show from June 1 to July 9, 2022 Press release T293 is pleased to present Potrei diventare parte di te , Numero Cromatico’s first gallery exhibition part of our Also on View project space. Founded in 2011, Numero Cromatico’s artistic research is based on the scientific approach to art, with a focus on neuroaesthetics, aesthetic psychology, literature, digital humanities and visual communication. The members of the collective are researchers with backgrounds both in visual arts and neuroscience. Throughout the years, their artistic practice has evolved into different directions, including painting, environmental installations, artificial intelligence, as well as editorial and curatorial projects. For the exhibition the collective presents new works of the series “Sempre Vivi” (2021-ongoing), which consists of flower mosaics on which texts generated by an Artificial Intelligence can be read. For this body of work Numero Cromatico makes use of P.O.E. (acronym for Poetry Of the End), an AI instructed by the collective to write texts about the end. The project room is set up so that the public can enjoy the works but also live an enriched aesthetic experience. In fact, the collective, as usual, presents its work by also acting on the architecture of the space, through additional tactile, olfactory, visual and sound elements, in order to activate a deep relationship with the visitor.

Somnium A project by Numero Cromatico in collaboration with Untitled Association Artefiera Bologna INGRESSO NORD - PADIGLIONI 15/18 May 13/15, 2022 Press Preview on May 12, 2022 Press Release Limited edition print Scrivevo una lettera I miei sentimenti Il mare si apre Tu ed io Voglio capire Guardavo le nuvole Untitled Association presents Somnium - a project by Numero Cromatico specifically designed for Artefiera Bologna. Part of ART AS SUPERNORMAL STIMULUS - winner of the Italian Council X call for proposals, launched by MiC - Direzione Generale Creatività Contemporanea, the project is the result of a fruitful collaboration between the two entities, which have been working together for years on various artistic and editorial projects. At the fair, both staff and the public will be offered an authentic and shared oneiric performance by the collective. From the very first day, a device for triggering oneiric activity will be distributed to the public. It comes in the shape of a package with precise instructions to be followed before falling asleep - a means for stimulating oneiric activity and recalling its contents upon awakening. Each day hundreds of devices will be distributed to be used the same night. A transcript of the contents and/or feelings evoked by the dream is to be sent the following morning. Over the course of the three days of the fair, the dreams will be exhibited at Untitled Association’s booth, creating an art installation, from which similarities and differences across participants’ oneiric contents will emerge. The texts will also form both an archive and an anthology of tales that will be collected in a digital edition available online. Numero Cromatico has been focusing on the topic of dreams for several years now, especially in relation to the brain mechanisms involved and the central creative activity this state activates in all of us. The project falls within Numero Cromatico’s art practice, which promotes a particular approach to artworks through artistic, scientific and editorial projects, that are based on the following core values: interdisciplinarity, interaction, the artist’s expressive abstinence, minimality, sensoriality, physical and psychological participation of the public, embodiment, and the study of emotions. The project is supported by the Italian Council (10th edition, 2021) program - Directorate General for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Culture.

È per te il nostro boato Striscione in PVC 1,9 m x 60 m Esposto per: - Videocittà, Next Stop, mostra collettiva a cura di Barbara Martuscello, Guido Reni District Roma, 2018 - Magnete #1, mostra personale a cura di Gaia Bobò, CityLab 971 Roma, 2021 Press Release È per te il nostro boato (2018) comes in the shape of a large stadium banner bearing a verse made up of two sentences usually pronounced by sport supporters: “è per te il nostro boato / al di là del risultato” [for you is our roar / no matter the outcome]. Although coming from the popular world, the verse takes up a brand new position within the artistic context. It is a statement providing the public with several possibilities for interpretation. Owing to its big size, the banner makes for a scenic space – one to be explored and experienced by the spectator. The artwork is part of the New-tze-bao series (2018 - ongoing). The project aims at bringing together popular culture and the artistic contemporary culture. It does so along two trajectories: by introducing common sayings, clichés, and statements coming from popular culture, through the artistic device, into the art context and museum environment, and by placing all of the above, including the many artistic manifestos, in the popular context. Such an operation comes into being by employing different media among which are banners, scarves, flags, wall paintings, dazibao (Chinese: “big-character poster”), editorial projects, and so on. These are charged with diverse contents varying in terms of places and modalities in which they are presented, so as to increase the degree of ambiguity and the possibilities for interpretation by the public.

Simultaneità Double solo show by Manuel Focareta e Dionigi Mattia Gagliardi ​ January 14 - 16, 2021 Via degli Ausoni 1, 00185, Roma ​ Press Release Questa mostra è parte del progetto GRAN FINALE a cura di Numero Cromatico Numero Cromatico presents Simultaneità , double solo show by Manuel Focareta and Dionigi Mattia Gagliardi - ninth event of GRAN FINALE. The exhibited artworks are paintings from the series Test Verbovisivi (2015) by Dionigi Mattia Gagliardi and a series of PVC printed texts from the poetic anthologies Poembook (2014) and Pinder (2017) by Manuel Focareta. The project focuses on the mutual practices and interests of the two artists as well as the potential of the relationship between image and text. The research paths of both artists, even if with different aims, analyse the concept of expressive abstinence and the production of artworks through the use of procedures that actively involve the public. In this exhibition the public finds itself in a place where words and shapes, marks and typography, coexist. The aim is that of creating images and reactions through stimuli that are different, yet simultaneous. The exhibition stands as the first attempt of the two artists to create a dialogue between images and texts, studying the effects that these produce on the viewers and researching potential future prospects. This double solo show adds another important piece to the range of research projects carried out by Numero Cromatico, especially when taking into account the most recent neuroscientific discoveries that enable us to overcome the ancient and traditional dichotomy between the poet and the visual artist.

Chiasma Solo show by Sara C uono ​ December 17 - 20, 2020 Via degli Ausoni 1, 00185, Roma ​ Press Release This exhibition is part of the project GRAN FINALE curated by Numero Cromatico Chiasma is Sara Cuono’s first solo show within Numero Cromatico. The exhibition presents a series of images formed by the junction of two photographs that have been matched according to associations of shape, colour, texture, pattern and geometry. The images are shown on various supports: prints hanging on the wall, framed prints and screens. The photographic device on which the images are displayed is not crucial for the artist, since she reckons that the strength of the images and their perceptive result remain unvaried despite the place or the modalities in which they are presented. With this exhibition, Cuono’s research focuses on what links a pair of images, the so-called “third something”, and the potential that the editing serves in the construction of meaning. This new “third” image, created by the ensemble of two images, sparks in each viewer subjective and unpredictable images. Thus, the artist produces a visual stimulus that leads to the formation of uncontrolled representations in the mind of the observer. In the artist’s research, photography becomes a means and not the final goal of the aesthetic production. The images she produces happen to be in the photographic medium and are bound to stay there provisionally for a mere contextual opportunity. Her research de-structures the photographic image in order to get to the grade zero of photography. Her work explores neuroscience and the mechanisms at the basis of aesthetic consumption, countertrend compared with the current artistic practices and uses of photography.

In a perpetual exchange between objective/subjective, the sender (artist), the message (artwork) and the receiver (spectator) come in contact with the ludic dimension of the game, within the continuous research of the time between pictorial action and assimilation of industrial processes.” Messinscèna | Federika Fumarola Play Video Facebook Twitter Pinterest Tumblr Copy Link Link Copied FEDERIKA FUMAROLA (Rome, 1981) She receives her artistic training from Cesare Tacchi.

Messinscèna Davide D'Elia 7 May 2020 ​ From 7 pm to 12 am Via degli Ausoni 1, 00185, Roma "My intention is that of questioning the contamination between languages, the interaction between the passing of time and the action of atmospheric agents on artefacts. In my artworks, the materials are destructured and reconstructed in order to become a vehicle of a universal thought. Thus, they go from matter to abstraction, from the consciousness of memory to its transmission." Davide D'ELia (Cava de' Tirreni, 1973) He lives and works in Rome. Initially fond of painting in the Art Informel tradition, from the second half of the 2000s D’Elia has experimented with the interaction between atmospheric agents and artifacts as a case study of natural phenomena, examining the concepts of memory, time and the flow of time in space. He participated in various solo and collective shows in Italy, England, Lebanon, Greece and Slovenia. His artworks have been exhibited at MAXXI and are part of its permanent collection.
