Breakfast with curator Zara Audiello

The visiting curators in residency at vessel, Gerd Elise Mørland e Anna Smolak, along with Viviana Checchia, co-creator and co-curator of vessel, will go to Foggia on Wednesday, July 27, to meet Zara Audiello, an independent curator. Zara, now living in Belgrade, is co-founder of Association 22:37. She will highlight the research interests, intentions and actions which influenced her work. In addition, this talk will provide an opportunity for a frank and honest self-evaluation of her past curatorial projects, with special attention to her recent work in the Balkans area.

Zara Audiello, born in Foggia, 1974, lives and works in Belgrade and Berlin. Her interests are multidisciplinary; she researches the notion of  the conflict in its different respective forms, but also as a concept that can function to explain varying aspects of social life, such as social disagreement, conflict of interests, and fights between individuals, groups and organizations.  She is additionally concerned with conflicts affected and caused by socio-economic and political environmental transformation as well as zones of combat and  clashes of different customs, cultures and language. These conflicts serve as metaphors of the human psyche, in which there is the omnipresent conflict between impulse and instinct. In particular, she has concentrated on the practice of communicating and mediating conflict, subsequentially investigating how this affects human nature, character, evolution and memory.
