II – Antoine Renard, Libby Rothfeld

from September 19th to 30th, 2016 at Sandra Natali/MAMbo artists’ space + RAUM/Xing, Bologna

Artists Antoine Renard (FR) and Libby Rothfeld (USA) were invited to take part in the second edition of Siliqoon Labs, a residency program aimed at the production of new works manufactured by a network of selected local artisan businesses. During the Lab the artists have visited the companies, used Raum as a studio for their research and were hosted by MAMbo at Sandra Natali Residence. This experience originated a new corpus of works that shaped the exhibition 1999 at Marsèlleria, Milano from March 17 to April 14, 2017.

The invited artists, curators and partners presented their work in progress to the public on the evening of Wednesday, September 28th from 7pm at Raum – Via Ca’ Selvatica 4/d, Bologna.
