Please join us for an ‘Open Studios’ with our current group of residents and a book launch with Giulia Crispiani and Michele Bertolini for Marea Art Project. 

In partnership with the Ethical Fashion Initiative and Fondazione Carla Fendi, we are joined by textile designer and dyer Maïté Oucéni (b.1993, Sèvres, France). She has invited Spoleto based DJ Ssiege, whose work draws on the acoustics of the natural environment, to participate in the Open Studio. Marianne Brooker (b.1991, Orsett, UK), winner of the Fitzcarraldo Editions / Mahler & LeWitt Studios Essay Prize 2022, is also in residence, as are photographer Mary Manning (b.1972, Alton, USA) and painter Phillip John Velasco Gabriel (b.1983, Jacksonville, USA). This session we are also joined by art historian Stephanie Wisowaty (b.1994, New York, USA): studying for her PhD at Yale University, she specialises in Italian medieval art.

During our Open Studios we also host the launch of an artists’ book by Giulia Crispiani and Michele Bertolino, published by Marea Art Project to conclude her residency in the LeWitt family home in Praiano on the Amalfi coast.

TheTorre Bonomo will be open to visits during the ‘Open Studios’ event where former artist in residence Alessandro Cicoria will present new work under the title ‘Sound Drawings & Self-Portraits’.
