Exhibition and Events Onsite

Dafne Boggeri, Marcella Vanzo

Campo neutro #02

curated by Roberto Pinto

May 2004

A project by Elena Quarestani. A physical and metaphorical space in which to experiment, where artists are invited to exhibit new projects as well as others already  shown elsewhere, (but not in Milan). Campo Neutro is a flexible container, as opposed to a traditional exhibition: it may last an hour, a day or a month, depending on the requirements of the artists and their works.

Projection of video by Marcella Vanzo and presentation of the work of Dafne Boggeri, which have received respectively the prize awarded by ACACIA, and the scholarship awarded by the Dena Foundation for Contemporary Art in collaboration with Comune di Milano Settore Sport e Giovani and Centre Culturel Français de Milan, as part of the exhibition Assab One 2004.

Two awards for ASSAB ONE artists

The scholarship sponsored by the Dena Foundation for Contemporary Art, in collaboration with the Sports and Youth Sector of the City of Milan and the Centre Culturel Français de Milan, which includes a six-month stay at the Centre International d’Accueil et d’Echanges des Récolletes in Paris, was awarded to Dafne Boggeri.

The ACACIA Associazione Amici Arte Contemporanea Italiana award was given to Marcella Vanzo. The award “for having best interpreted the dialogue of her work with the space in which the exhibition takes place” consists of the acquisition of a ‘work by the artist that will later be donated to the future Museum of Contemporary Art in Milan.

Dafne Boggeri (Tortona, 1975. Lives and works in Milan)

She participated with the queer group Pornflakes in the exhibition Linee di Confine, Open Space – Care Of, Milan (2003). Follows for the Ac/D*She – ratatuia rebel label – the anomalous line of Klava accessories in which themes of pop-divertissement and gender are mixed.
