Niccolò Masini in collaboration with Elettra Bottazzi during STAND, The Watermill Center, New York (USA), 2022.
The project was developed in collaboration with Art Historian and Curator Elettra Bottazzi during the Watermill Center summer program 2022. Founded in 1992 by avant-garde visionary Robert Wilson, The Watermill Center is an interdisciplinary laboratory for the arts and humanities situated on ten acres of Shinnecock ancestral territory on Long Island’s East End, New York (USA). Expanded upon the performative piece Nomadic Resilience, Reframing Landscapes is a performance painting methodology transposing site-specific resources into shadow-mirrored compositions, multi-language narratives, and memory. A mirrored landscape invoking a sense of mythic storytelling for unwritten forms of territorial belonging.
Featured artists included: Regina José Galindo (Guatemala), Elettra Bottazzi (Italy), Matthew Shipp (United States), Robson Catalunha (Brazil), Xu Zhen (China), Deniz Celebic (Turkey), Yeliz Celebic (Turkey), Nini Dognier (Mongolia), Laurent Le Gall(France), Liz Glynn (United States), Tsubasa Kato (Japan), Christopher Knowles (United States), Taeyi Lim (Korea), Ola Maciejewska (Poland), Niccolò Masini (Italy), Hollie Miller (United Kingdom), Robert Nava (United States), Adam Parker Smith (United States) and Vilim Poljanic (Croatia). Curated by Robert Wilson and Noah Khoshbin.
