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.

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.

HOBIT 1 How Our Brain Innovates Thinking Webinar on art and neuroscience March 15-21 2021 We are glad to announce that Numero Cromatico is one of the two selected Italian organisations to host an event on the occasion of the Brain Awareness Week 2021, supported by Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives (DABI), European Dana Alliance for the Brain (EDAB), Dana Foundation and Federation European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) to help promote brain sciences worldwide. How Our Brain Innovates Thinking consists of 6 online lessons - free and open to the public - and a workshop with the Istituto Omnicomprensivo di Orte. The event will take place from 15th to 21st March 2021. The topic The functioning and wellbeing of the human body are very relevant topics nowadays, not only in relation to medicine but also to other disciplinary fields such as art. In recent years, on the one hand, artists and academics in the field of humanities focused their attention on the cognitive aspects of perception, bodily experiences, empathy and art psychology; on the other hand, there is an ever-growing interest from the scientific world towards the arts, architecture and design. Thus, the time is apt to outline a new hybrid territory between art and neuroscience, with the aim of training a more conscious citizenship on the challenges that the world is facing. The event The event consists of 6 online lessons, free and open to the public, and a workshop with the Istituto Omnicomprensivo di Orte. The event will take place from 15th to 21st March 2021. ​ Timetable Tuesday, 16th March 8:30 am Origami Lab: exploring the brain Workshop by Luisa Amendola and Marco Marini held with the students of the Istituto Omnicomprensivo di Orte 2 pm The winner is: Empathy!

From October 6th to November 5th, 2020 Via degli Ausoni 1, Roma 00185 Opening: October 6th, 2020 - 6 pm Press Preview: October 5th, 2020 - 11:30 am Project supported by the Exhibit Program | Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism SUPPORTED BY Arcoscenico is the final exhibition of the first phase of Messinscèna , a two-year mapping project of the Roman art scene, with the aim of analyzing artistic research in the capital. The event also acts as a sounding board of the Roman art scene in the national context, as well as a moment of theoretical confrontation between the artists. Messinscèna is a one-shot exhibition format. Each appointment was dedicated to a different artist, who exhibited his own work and a written theoretical statement for 5 hours. The artists were invited to install their projects in a space that is always the same for everyone and to identify a particular form of relationship with the user. During the staging, the public was asked to respect the rules of use decided by the artist and not to produce photographic material. During the project, only the video interviews with the artists and the public were disseminated, the works were seen / experienced only by those present. In two years, 10 exhibitions, 10 interviews with artists and more than 150 interviews with the public were produced. Arcoscenico is therefore an opportunity to discover the project in its entirety, see all the works presented during Messinscèna and discover the theoretical motivations of the artists involved. The artists involved: Alessandro Giannì (1989), Leonardo Petrucci (1986), Federika Fumarola (1981), Jacopo Tomassini (1979), Silvio Saccà (1989), Marta Mancini (1981), Michele Formica (1998), Gianni Politi (1986), Davide D'Elia (1973), Novella Oliana (1978).

Messinscèna Michele Formica 13 February 2020 ​ From 7 pm to 12 am Via degli Ausoni 1, 00185, Roma “My visual research focuses on tradition regarded as legend. The desire is that of “freezing” social tales, which are often narrated, in order to create a positive or negative mimesis in their paranormal dimension. The focal point is not the effect that the story has on the present, but rather passing on ideal values, with the resulting creation of characters, events and imaginary places within real contexts and possible scenarios.” Messinscèna | Michele Formica Play Video Facebook Twitter Pinterest Tumblr Copy Link Link Copied MICHELE FORMICA (Ancona, 1998) He approaches the world of video making by filming his friends, his village and the skateboarding culture.

If I Should Die Solo show by Manuel Focareta ​ December 7 - 9, 2020 Via degli Ausoni 1, 00185, Roma ​ Press Release This exhibition is part of the project GRAN FINALE curated by Numero Cromatico As part of the series of exhibitions GRAN FINALE , Manuel Focareta presents the first part of his project If I Should Die , a series of 10 artworks on paper. The project forms an anthology of poems on the topic of death, generated by Artificial Intelligence. “If I Should Die” is both the title of the exhibition and the anthology itself - it is the verbal stimulus used by the artist to create the fifty texts that constitute the whole collection. The technology that was used to create these poems was able to foresee the subsequent verse on the basis of an initial input. The project is part of a research that has been focuses for years on various themes: the artist’s expressive abstinence; the study of a text’ visual and spatial components; the creation of poems through the use of procedures, methods and contexts that are regarded as unusual in literary tradition. The exhibited artworks constitute the first chapter of a visual poetic anthology, which demolishes the traditionalist idea of the enlightened poet. These in fact were not created using the author’s personal contents but rather they were built and designed to produce an unusual stimulus in the viewers on the theme of death. It is not a chance that the artist used utterly bright colours, in strong contrast with the poem’s written content, with the aim of creating in the viewers a sense of alienation. If I Should Die sets the basis for further questions within Numero Cromatico: will we still need humans to write texts that are capable of making the reader feel emotional? How much do the visual and spatial components influence the fruition of a text? Can poetry be a tool for creating new and original “images”? Focareta’s research opens to a field of inquiry in which the poem is treated like an element, a tool, a multicomponent stimulus and not as a mere container of the author’s emotional content.
