Ex-voto [radical Public culture] and L’Arsenale di Napoli present

頑張RIMARE | gamba’ri’mare at LA CURA, Santissima Community Hub

On 27 April at 5 pm at La Santissima Community Hub, Ex-Voto [radical public culture] and the Arsenale di Napoli present 頑張RIMARE | gamba’ri’mare, a work by Simona Da Pozzo that will be permanently installed in the spaces of LA CURA, becoming its distinctive and recognisable feature.

The work, born out of research within the Glocary|ˈGləʊkərɪ project—through which the artist explores the cognitive and verbal processes that bring visions to light through dialogue—consists of 340 hand-printed wooden tiles that spell out the word 頑張RIMARE, one of the terms donated to the project’s archive over the years (2011–2019) during which the participatory process spanned multiple cities, from Beirut to Münster.

This work reflects the meaning and aim of La Cura, amplifying the affective and ever-changing dimension of language.

頑張RIMARE was created in 2017 for the event Rompiamo le righe!, the launch party for Fondazione Cariplo’s three-year cross-sectoral programme Lacittàintorno, dedicated to urban regeneration, coinciding with the 13th Giornata del Contemporaneo, produced by Non Riservato in collaboration with Ex-Voto [radical public culture], through the post-typographic initiative realised thanks to the collaboration of Filippo Basile//Studio Florida, Cecilia Di Gaddo//*stardelight Design and curated by Nicola Ciancio, creating an environmental installation built with the public. The installation takes shape, with a nomadic spirit, through a technical device freely inspired by the movable type of letterpress printing and the bamboo books of Chinese tradition.
