Non-conformist figures and atypical stories from a more or less recent past. A series of exhibition-workshops to investigate personalities that have blurred the boundaries between disciplines, movements and generations, or have assumed erratic perspectives with respect to conventional canons.

DISPATCH N° 10

This new episode of Dispatch comes out on the occasion of the #Giornatadelcontemporaneo organized by AMACI — Association of Italian Contemporary Art Museums.

I invited Nicola Pecoraro, artist and creator of my avatar, to curate this special episode. Drawing intuitively from the landscapes that surround him, he proposed for my podcast a remix of heterogeneous contents, such as the sound elements taken from everyday life and the fragments of songs that trace his research or his collaborations and make up a collage of voices.

In this episode:

1. Intro
2. Nicola Pecoraro, Respire L’infinir, 2020 (excerpt)
3. Interlude 1
4. Edited posts from the electronic music forum on gearslutz.com
