breve biografia
plurale è un concetto.
Nasce nel 2020 e si presenta come collettivo artistico osmotico, cui attivatori di base sono Leonardo Avesani (Verona, 1997) e Chiara Ventura (Verona, 1997). Nel 2022 pubblica il Manifesto Gesto empatico, una dichiarazione poetica che afferma il suo esserci nel mondo, dove si sostiene l’azione empatica come l’unico mezzo oggi praticabile per restituire agli esseri e alle cose pari diritti e dignità. plurale ha attivato una pratica transfemminista nel tentativo di sgretolare una visione eteronormativa del corpo e decolonizzare il desiderio, osservando la sessualità ed il piacere come spazi politici. Inoltre, è interessato alla cultura giovanile e studia in particolare il fenomeno trap italiano, analizzando le problematiche socioculturali legate alle ultime generazioni.
plurale è coautore del libro SNITCH. Dentro la trap (Psicografici Editore, Roma) e ha lavorato con musei, fondazioni, gallerie, spazi indipendenti tra cui Galerie Utopia / 4lthangrund Cultural Center (Vienna), Mart – Museo di arte moderna e contemporanea di Trento e Rovereto (Rovereto), Viafarini (Milano), TAI – Tuscan Art Industry (Prato), Galleria ME Vannucci (Pistoia), Adiacenze (Bologna), Roma Smistamento (Roma), Le garage (Trento).
short biography
plurale is a concept.
It was born in 2020 and presents itself as an osmotic artistic collective, whose basic activators are Leonardo Avesani (Verona, 1997) and Chiara Ventura (Verona, 1997). In 2022 it published the Manifesto Gesto empatico (Empathic gesture), a poetic statement affirming its being-in-the-world, where empathic action is affirmed as a means of restoring equal rights and dignity to beings and things. plurale has activated a transfeminist practice in an attempt to dismantle a heteronormative view of the body and to decolonise desire, observing sexuality and pleasure as political spaces. Additionally, it is engaged with youth culture and specifically studies the Italian trap phenomenon, analyzing sociocultural issues linked to younger generations.
plurale is the co-author of the book SNITCH. Dentro la trap (Psicografici Editore, Rome) and has collaborated with museums, foundations, galleries, and independent spaces including Galerie Utopia / 4lthangrund Cultural Center (Vienna, Austria), Mart – Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto (Rovereto, Italy), Viafarini (Milan, Italy), Roma Smistamento (Rome, Italy), TAI – Tuscan Art Industry (Prato, Italy), Galleria ME Vannucci (Pistoia, Italy), Adiacenze (Bologna, Italy), and Le garage (Trento, Italy).
