PALAZZINA #12

embrace questioning name ideas go beyond cynical resignation gain some wisdom doubt the very basis do the incomprehensible thing stand on the ground barefooted sit around pieces decline presets polish mirror-like surfaces search for cracks in the structure accept fragility reject the heavy load don’t try hard don’t subject don’t need a label don’t walk prescribed trails can’t spell anti-hero without saying hero have indomitable thoughts of release let the hands take over leave traces caress resonant surfaces inevitably engrave practice thinking forget and undo go from here cross bridges leave fenced areas do relate - Dario Zeo for PALAZZINA #12 Launched as an artists' house in July 2019, the PALAZZINA project consists of a team of artists who live together and jointly manage the exhibition space: Mathieu Dafflon, Ester Hatle, Victoria Holdt, Simone Holliger, Géraldine Honauer, Joaquim Cantor Miranda, Katrin Niedermeier, Noemi Pfister, Luca Rossi-Dossi, Nicolas Sarmiento, Kelly Tissot, Ines Tondar and Joan Pallé. Several exhibitions take place each year, along with a program of performances, readings, talks and dinners. What is special about PALAZZINA is the combination of a housing community and an exhibition space - this context also led to the name, which means "apartment block" in Italian. Since July 2020 PALAZZINA is located at Alemannengasse 60. The PALAZZINA project focuses primarily on exchange as a community with the exhibiting artists. It offers the opportunity to discuss together, to concentrate energies and to create new spaces of experience.
