We are glad to welcome you, Thursday 24th Novemberat MACRO – Contemporary Art Museum of Rome, to the exhibition opening of Adelita Husni-Bey and Elisa Strinna, prize winners of the 2nd Edition of 6ARTISTA, a prize – created by Associazione Civita and Fondazione Pastificio Cerere with the support of Allianz – aimed at promoting the professional growth of under-30, talented artists who live in Italy.
This event reaffirms the Museum attention towards new generations of artists and the fellowship amongst MACRO, Civita and Fondazione Pastificio Cerere, entities which are demonstrating to be strongly engaged in the promotion and diffusion of contemporary art. 6ARTISTA, whose 1st edition took place in 2009, is a relevant opportunity for its young winners, to whom a highly cultural training career is offered.Adelita Husni-Bey and Elisa Strinna actually lived in Rome for six months cooperating with Fondazione Pastificio Cerere, which has always been a breeding ground for artists’ experimentation since the seventies’, and further three months with Cité Internationale des Arts of Paris, thanks to their International meetings occurred in Rome. The main goal is to foster the dialogue through different languages, ideas and techniques, in order to allow young people to analyse thoroughly and mark out their own art of poetry.
The exhibition at MACRO, edited by Vincenzo de Bellis – curator in residence of Fondazione Pastificio Cerere for the year 2011 – will be open to public until 29th January 2012 and shows four works of the two artists, realized intentionally for this exhibition.
