Ferrara Collective
"In
Ferrara after the exhibition"Magic" curated by
Paola Trevisan the spirit among all the ( about
50) international artists was great. Ideas were
born like artists must help eachother, how would
it be to exchange contacts...and so on.
So the title of Paola's art-show "Magic" was
proven more than right. This made me think: "At
17 decembre 2006 I founded the
"Ferrara-collective". The purpose was artists
from Ferrara helping eachother with contacts
for free , exchanging photos,to keep the memory
of Ferrara alive and to keep it short
exchanging any good ideas .
Now it's 28 may 2007; already 26 artists joined
this " Ferrara Collective.'' who made a dream
come through, because the adresses from
galleries and for instance free websites artists
exchanged became more and more .In the meanwhile
we all had an exhibition in Trani ( South of
Italy)
and Barletta ( South of Italy) wil follow, again
curated by Paola Trevisan.
The photos from Ferrara collected by us all
became a great collection to be proud of. The
photos from Trani seems to become a succes too.
We still get stronger almost every day. I'm just
grateful and glad that I may guide such an
enthusiastic group of artists.
The magic goes on
!
