full program
During the entire Happening! event, Fondazione Studio Marangoni – the centre for promoting international photographic culture – will curate the PRIMATI exhibit. The work of four young female photographers, recent graduates of the Corso Triennale di Fotografia e New Media, will be displayed. This three-year study programme has provided these young artists with the tools necessary to structure and experiment in the visual medium and contend with other photographers at the highest levels in both the commercial and artistic fields.
The photographers will actively participate in all the stages of the workshop held by the B9 makers, mòno, Canificio and Duccio Maria Gambi. The workshop is focused on developing a concept and creating scenographic elements for the set of the show entitled Meditation on Beauty by Marina Giovannini.

The students will partake in various creative events and performances that arise from Meditation on Beauty. They are encouraged to enter into a dialogue between art forms in adding personal interpretations in reaction to what is occurring in the space between the bodies on stage (both objects and performers), the tempo of the music, and the space-time of the dance.
The photos, which will be displayed on the first floor of Manifattura Tabacchi’s B9 for the entire duration of the Happening! festival, are not meant to be a mere reportage of the workshop: rather, they will represent a visual trace of the reflections of each individual female photographer circa the esthetics, concepts, and practices that will have arisen during Meditation on Beauty as a multidisciplinary laboratory for creative research.
