<div dir="ltr">Press release : ZOOart, Local art, ZOOincittà, ZOOlive!<br><br>ZOOart
inaugurates its twelfth edition with a smorgasbord of activities and
events dedicated to the transmission of contemporary art in public
spaces, 4 July at 9.30pm at the Fresia Gardens in Cuneo.<br><br>The
exhibition will again take place over many weeks, bringing life to the
historical centre of Cuneo with its formula of outdoor evening events as
has been proposed since 2002. The Fresia Garden, the old public zoo
transformed into a recreational zone years ago, is the historical
location for the event. It will be the background for installations
produced or adapted for the occasion in a variety of artistic styles.<br><br>More
than thirty artists from Thursday until Sunday over the first three
weeks of July will present their own artworks, on the theme of the
multiplicity of relations between humans and their natural and cultural
habitat. Performance art featured will involve the direct participation
of visitors, and as the artistic journey develops, collective
experimentation will take place in the streets of the city.<br><br>Like
each year, the ZOOart program will place an emphasis on the local
artistic context, with the second edition of the project Local art, as
well as attracting an array of international artists.<br><br>Local art
is a project of the CRC Foundation in collaboration with Art.ur to
support artists from the Province of Cuneo, and will be a key aspect of
ZOOart. Eight young artists selected by a committee made up of Claudio
Cravero, curator of the P.A.V of Turin, representatives of Art.ur and
the CRC foundation will have their artworks displayed during the three
weeks of the exhibition: Paolo Ansaldi, Sara Becchio and Paolo Borghino
(StudioErrante Architecture) con Miriam Fabris e Emanuele Greco, Michela
Depetris, Roberto Fassone, Simone Longo, Vittorio Mortarotti,
Alessandro Quaranta and Enrico Tealdi. The foundation will support the
three winners by purchasing their artworks and promoting their
visibility through the participation in national and international
exhibitions.<br><br>At the same time, the historical centre of Cuneo
will be livened by the 2013 edition of the project ZOOincittà,
consolidated by months of work undertaken by a specifically created
workshop which was created in collaboration with the Order of
Architects, the students who participated in the workshop of Professor
Daniele Regis in the Department of Architecture and Design of the
Polytechnic Institution of Turin and the Association Best Torino. The
site specific installations of the theme “Community” will be located in
Via Roma, Via Mondovì, Via Caraglio, Via Dronero, Via F. Cavallotti,
Piazza Audifreddi in Cuneo. They were produced over the last few months
through the ZOOincittà workshops and selected from hundreds of
propositions of young architects, designers and students within the
Cuneo area and will be visible from 4 July to the 31 August. ZOOincittà
has a vast number of participants and was created in partnership
between the Association of Retailers including numerous businesses from
the Piedmont territory and is supported by the Company San Paolo.<br><br>During
Thursday and Saturday evenings, in the three weeks of ZOOart from the 4
– 21 July in the Fresia gardens, the performances and live sets
selected by Art.ur and the independent label Betulla Records will take
place as part of the ZOOlive performances. 6 international performers
will present their works at the ex-zoo or will involve visitors to the
garden in stimulating and poetic collective events.<br><br>Finally, the
workshop “DlinDlinZumZumPeppé”, part of the ZOObimbi project will allow
children to play with their imagination through the creative reuse of
recycled materials by transforming them into musical instruments. The
workshop ZOObimbi will also include the group theatre-fanfare
coordinated by the French artist Béatrice Bailet, which is inspired by
the fantastical journey in train from Cuneo to Nice, a train line which
winds through the landscapes of the Alps and is currently in risk of
being closed.<br><br>The workshop will take place in the Fresia Gardens on Thursday and Friday during ZOOart.<br><br>The
presentation of ZOOart and the works selected for the exhibition in
public spaces ZOOincittà will take place in the form of a press
conference, Friday 28 June at 5.30pm at the Salone d’Onore (reception
hall) of Cuneo City.<br><br>The artists and performers selected for ZOOart 2013 are:<br>Zara
