Claudio Zecchi is an independent curator whose field of research aims at investigating a new vision and reading of the public sphere exploring the mutual relationship between the practices – artistic, curatorial and institutional (and more) – the territory and the local communities. Conceived as a long-terms discursive narration, his research surveys specific territories. The outcome it’s been always different. So far, the chapters have investigated the concept of activism (Fabbrica del Vapore, Milan); the role that artists, curators, institutions and the public (in its active function) perform in the contemporary society at large (Residency Unlimited, New York); and the topic of the language (New Art Exchange, Nottingham).
