Mauro took part last project curated by Pilkington, responded to the title set by Matt Eich:

‘The Chain’ is the latest project curated by Stuart Pilkington, (curator of The Alphabet Project and the 50 States Project).

Stuart invited 107 photographers from around the globe to participate in the project at the beginning of 2011.

And in February 2011 each photographer submitted a title/instruction to inspire a photograph by another person in the project. The photographers were connected like links in a chain. They were asked to respond to the title set by the person directly behind them. The title they set was directed to the photographer directly in front of them.

For example, Elizabeth Gordon responded to the title set by Andrea Chu. Hiroshi Watanabe responded to the title set by Elizabeth Gordon. Harry Borden responded to the title set by Hiroshi Watanabe. And so on and so on.

By 18th June 2011 all 107 photographers submitted their photographs and at the end of June all the images were published on the Chain website. Please click here to see all the images that have been submitted.

Dopo 8 anni gli zapatisti tornano a sfilare in 20/30.000 per le strade di San Cristobal, come risposta all’appello lanciato da Javier Sicilia e dalla Red por la Paz y la Justicia e per aderire alle mobilitazioni di questi giorni contro la “guerra di Calderόn”. Una marcia silenziosa, imponente che ha bloccato la città. Ad aprire il lungo corteo c’erano tutte le comunità indigene del chiapas giunte all’alba .

PARATISSIMA 2010, From 3 to 7 November, San Salvario – TURIN- Italy

For the sixth consecutive year, Gruppo Para, in collaboration with the association Ylda, is organising a collective exhibition for young artists one of the main events of “Contemporary Art”. Paratissima 2010 will take place from 3 to 7 November, and like the previous year, will be hosted in the San Salvario quarter of Turin.

The sixth edition of Paratissima, the “happening” exhibition of contemporary art, is dedicated to analogies between the kitchen, the “laboratory” of the house and the multiethnic area of San Salvario.
Just as the kitchen is an area for discovering new pleasures as well as the conservation and preparation of food, so San Salvario is the location for creative and artisan activities and the forms a framework for emerging talent.

In 2009, Paratissima came of age, 375 artists, 76 events, 39 private sponsors and 69 businesses of San Salvario were involved, to which must be added 43 non-commercial spaces transformed into locations for exhibitions. The number of visitors was estimated at 40,000.

This year, Paratissima 2010 will again repeat its role as the alternative event to ARTissima, offering a place for young talent, artists not yet established, to exhibit, spiced up with DJ sets, food, drink and live performances. Paratissima utilises various locations in San Salvario, from local bars, businesses and appartments to public spaces. The artists, from around the world, can exhibit their own work with the sole condition that they respect their host location.

Given the nature of the event, its aims, participants and regional collaboration, it will be supported by the Region of Piemonte, the City of Torino and Circoscrizione 8 (the quarter of San Salvario), it forms part of the calendar of Contemporary Arts Torino Piemonte and the Torino Youth European Capital, and is also assisted by the Camera di Commercio, by the Fondazione per l’Arte della FCRT, the Compagnia di San Paolo and by various private sponsors.

For the sample, we have the following artists who have participated in Revelados with their respective series:

Alicia Mesonero-Romanos, Ana Carla Martínez, Jesús Calero, Patricia Arnaiz, Alejandro Corbí, Frano Prochazka, Lorenzo Anceschi, Silvana Scuisatto, Luz Momediano, Laura F. Izuzquiza, Francesca Anita Modotti , Tito Gargamelli, Álvaro Leco, Manuel de Teresa, EzioD’Agostini, Mauro Corinti, Thomas Marroni, Alessandro Fascini, Laura Chacón, Marta Anglada, Aëla Labbé, Joana Queiroz, Massimiliano Perasso, Debora Barnaba.

The Maya were obsessed with time. The whole territory of the Maya, with its hundreds of stone city can be classified as a huge monument in close relation with time. On the walls surrounding the fields for playing “pelota”, the temples, lintels, carved panels and even the shells on jade – used in great abundance – the Maya for a period spanning about 1000 years, they recorded their dates do not just arrived at the conclusion of the work, or they recorded some event in celebration of the past.

Why the Maya had this obsessive concern for time?

The Mayans believed that time was cyclical. And that the same influence and the same consequences as a repetition in any given period in history.

I Maya erano ossessionati con il tempo. L’intero territorio dei Maya, con le sue centinaia di città di pietra può essere classificato come un enorme monumento in stretta relazione con il tempo. Sulle pareti che circondano i campi del gioco della “pelota”, i templi, architravi, pannelli intagliati ,sulla giada. I Maya per un periodo che abbraccia circa 1000 anni, hanno registrato le loro date per celebrare qualche avvenimento del passato.

Ma perchè i Maya avevano questa ossessiva preoccupazione per il tempo ?

A developing country needs a way to move their products, but also to enable tourism to move into the territory. The toll road in Mexico has a considerable price for the service it offers to the public but from the capital of Chiapas now you can reach the Pacific coast within hours.

Un paese in via di sviluppo ha bisogno di un modo per spostare i propri prodotti, ma anche per consentire di spostare il turismo nel territorio. La strada a pedaggio in Messico ha un prezzo considerevole per il servizio che offre al pubblico, ma dalla capitale del Chiapas ora è possibile raggiungere la costa del Pacifico in poche ore.
