The publication é ora di alzarsi is the result of the XXVII CSAV - Artists' Research Laboratory held at Fondazione Antonio Ratti in Como in July 2023, under the guidance of the Visiting Artist Hilary Lloyd.
The CSAV directors and the Visiting Artist asked the participants to identify the most significant and productive aspects of their experience. The unanimous response singled out the atmosphere of commonality, and the open ended experimentation offered by the flexible structure of the course and by Lloyd’s approach, as the core themes. The books stands as a structural echo of these experiences, presenting them as a rich aesthetic exercise melding pictures and writings with a collective and uninhibited poetic lyricism.
Printed in risograph on a A5 format, the book allows for slippages during the printing process and the limited range of colours specific to the technique.
With contribution by: Madeleine Andersson, Vicente Baeza, Biogal (Joni McLaughlin), Ilinca Fechete, Alex Gibson, Joanne Ho, Ammara Jabbar, Bokyoung Jeong, Jacob Lambrecht, Hilary Lloyd, Gregorio Magnani, Rauwanne Northcott, Gianlorenzo Nardi, Matteo Rattini, Leyre Román, Lorenzo Silvestri, Santiago Torresagasti.
The book launch for é ora di alzarsi is planed both in Milano at Ordet and in London at a later date.
