“Multipli”, curated by Lorenzo Gigotti, explains, by means of a wide range of media and formats (lithographs, artist books, design pieces, graphics, photographs, as well as audio books and new media), how an important part of the art scene in Italy and abroad is adopting methods to increase reproducibility and accessibility.
Participation in Multipli is by invitation only.
Research Unit on Artist’s Editions
The New Many is a classroom dedicated to the practices, forms, and economies of artist’s editions in contemporary art and visual culture. Curated by Lorenzo Micheli Gigotti and Francesco Spampinato, in collaboration with the Second Cycle Degree in Visual Arts at the Department of the Arts, University of Bologna, the project unfolds within the Multiples section of ARTEFIERA 49 as a public-facing space for study, exchange, and production.
Conceived as a temporary platform for active observation and collective learning, the classroom investigates the notion of the multiple in its expanded, post-digital condition: from printed editions to art objects, from design and merchandise to artist records, digital practices, and NFTs. Through talks, working sessions, and on-site research activities, The New Many brings together artistic, curatorial, and production practices that critically engage with questions of reproducibility, distribution, and the circulation of cultural materials.
