COLLECTING PEOPLE / serie inversa
The meetings’ program Collecting People starts this year launching Serie Inversa (reverse sequence). Aim of the new project: the discovery artists, more or less young, above all at the beginning of their own artistic research path, living and working in Piedmont, to give them opportunities for discussions and growth.
Serie Inversa, just like Progetto Diogene’s other initiatives, lies within the training activities promoted by the group, aimed at acting and intervening on different latitudesof thedevelopmentofanartist’swork. During the last months of its activity, association Diogene started a survey among artists,moreorlessyoung, aboveallatthebeginningoftheirownartisticresearchpath, living and working in Piedmont: a serious and accurate census mostly done in the form ofstudio‐visit.
The Project doesn’t mean to draw up an all‐embracing list of artists working in the territory, but it does mean to give some of them adequate conditions to start a path of self‐trainingtogetherwiththe artcollectiveDiogene
Serie Inversa arises, therefore, from a need perceived by Progetto Diogene: the activation of a new polarity, trying to go directly to the studios or other artist’s places – even mental, to acquire a knowledge of the works not just through the author’s words but also from the space they actually “take place”.
Among the goals, there is the one to put the focus on the art work again, shaking off the public the sense of oppression that today it seems to exert on the viewer. Art has still something to tell us, despite a fervent spread of self‐reference, and especially of art system.

VALERIO MANGHI
Second meeting

Valerio Manghi graduated at Istituto Europeo di Design in Turin, is a photographer, a videomaker and realize also installations.
This is the way he talks about his research: “Every step we have taken carries its consequences into our inner world. Visual work is just a representation of that world. Considering education as a structural element of the self in modern society, it is also possible considering to give a someone’s life the name of a class. Until now, mine is “Harmonising Escape from Reality Evaluation Design”. I am one of those silently practicing the Inventamondo (Createtheworld).”.
