Campo Neutro is a space for experimentation and discussion, a place where artists can present new projects alongside works already exhibited elsewhere but never seen in Milan. It is a project by Elena Quarestani realized within GEA Grafiche Editoriali Ambrosiane. This first appointment is curated by Roberto Pinto.

Performances, projects, installations by:
–    A Constructed World (Geoff Lowe & Jacqueline Riva)
–    Letizia Cariello
–    Francesco Lauretta
–    Ottonella Mocellin e Nicola Pellegrini
–    Federico Pietrella
–    Enzo Umbaca

Jacqueline Riva & Geoff Lowe, who work together as A Constructed World creating situations in which the audience participates in the making of the work, present Come vuoi. Like you want. The objects displayed on a carpet are for sale at a price set by the buyer, the only condition being to explain in front of a video camera why they are buying and what they are worth.

Letizia Cariello presents three of the ten sections that make up Hallenbad Project: the sound installation Hallenbad Sound and Hallenbad Portraits already exhibited at Centro Pecci in Prato, and the book moke-up, Hallenbad Book-installation.

Celebration is the title of an operation “undergone” by Francesco Lauretta, who responded to the commission of a number of aristocratic Sicilian gentlemen to create a particular pictorial identikit: that of the Madonna who has been appearing generously to them for six lustrums now and around whom a massive Marian congress and opera has been formed in Ispica, the artist’s native town. For the occasion of Campo Neutro #1 Francesco Lauretta narrates in a sound performance this singular experience where the boundaries of reality and imagination deflagrate miserably.

Ottonella Mocellin and Nicola Pellegrini‘s installation, Così lontano così vicino, was created for the Echo and Narcissus exhibition last fall in Piedmont and is being shown for the first time in Milan. It is an epistolary story between two newlyweds during the years of World War II. For nearly an hour, voices alternate while two images are projected at intervals on the walls.

Federico Pietrella has been working for almost a year in the spaces of GEA and presents at Campo Neutro #1 the latest work he has created there.

Enzo Umbaca presents the installation Car, first exhibited in Pescara in 2000, on the occasion of Fuori Uso: a Nigerian woman tells her story and the viewer participates in this intimate tale by sitting inside a car.
