📚 The global issue of privacy in the digital ag 📚 The global issue of privacy in the digital age is the central theme of Nosy, a multi-media project that includes photographs, sculptural objects, installations, and a limited edition of unique artist books. The project mimics the conflict between the seductive power of technology, expressed through the playful and attractive appearance of the artworks, and its dark “nosy” side, revealed by the repetitive and uncanny presence of human noses.

At the Thirty-eighth Biennale dell’Arte in Venice in 1978 entitled “Dalla natura all’arte dall’arte alla natura (From nature to art from art to nature)”, at Spazio Aperto, Magazzini del Sale alle Zattere, the Feminist Group “Immagine” of Varese and the “Donne Immagine Creatività” Group of Naples found space for their installations entitled “Dalla Creatività come Maternità – Natura al Controllo (Contro Ruolo) della Natura” (From Creativity as Maternity – Nature to Control (Against Role) of Nature. In the photograph in the Collection, Milli Gandini is photographed in front of a panel made up of postcards representing the phases of the moon that are associated with the archetypal dimension of the relationship with the Great Mother, as if to recall a primordial female divinity. #milligandini #donatapizzi #collezionedonatapizzi #donatapizzicollection #privatecollection #artcollector #proudlyintocollection #maternity #feminist #genderestereotypes #performance #photography #contemporaryart #conceptualart #womeninphotography #womenartists #femalephotographers #femaleartist
Born in 1941 in Varese, MILLI GANDINI has worked a Born in 1941 in Varese, MILLI GANDINI has worked as an associate in her husband Innocente Gandini’s industrial design studio since 1968. A graphic designer, she works in advertising and designs patterns and textures for furnishing fabrics. From 1975 she designed jewellery and furnishing fabrics and began the series of exhibitions devoted to the successful cycle “La mamma è uscita”. After moving away from political militancy, in the 1980s she achieved her greatest successes both as an artist – with works steeped in irony and a subtle eroticism, not without feminist ancestry in denouncing gender stereotypes – and as a gallery owner, in Milan, where she became a lively protagonist of the city’s cultural and political life. In 1989 she began the Milanese experience of Gallery Night, the first exhibition space in the world to open at night in the suburban area of Viale Certosa, also hosting Andy Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg. She died in Castiglione Olona in 2017. Posthumous group exhibitions include: “The Unexpected Subject. 1978 Art and Feminism in Italy” (2019, Milan) and Kochen Putzen Sorgen. Care-Arbeit in der Kunst seit 1960 / Cooking Cleaning Caring, Care-Work in the Arts since 1960” (2023, Bottrop). #milligandini #donatapizzi #collezionedonatapizzi #donatapizzicollection #privatecollection #artcollector #proudlyintocollection #maternity #feminist #genderestereotypes #performance #photography #contemporaryart #conceptualart #womeninphotography #womenartists #femalephotographers #femaleartist

“And so we were told, 2020” is a series of eig “And so we were told, 2020” is a series of eighty-four nearly identical photographs. In each two arms hold out a glass jar, half-filled with a dark liquid, bearing a handwritten date, from February 7, 2016 to all of the next 84 days. Photograph No. 10 of the original 135-copy edition is in the collection. The first date in the series coincides with the day of the “cellar massacre,” when more than 100 people were killed in the town of Cizre, in southeastern Turkey on the Syrian border, in Turkish law enforcement’s violent crackdown on Kurdish militant groups. The Turkish press did not report the massacre, which was instead reported in the international press. Beginning Feb. 7, Fatma Bučak (@fatmabucak_me) collected and catalogued Turkey’s major newspapers daily, washed away the ink from the press that failed to account for what happened, and collected the liquid in 84 containers, each of which refers to the words of the washed-out newspapers, words they could not tell. The 84 images play on perceptual ambivalence, enchanting in their poetic beauty, with details, shadows, and chiaroscuro that look like oil paintings. The black liquid collected in the transparent jars marked with a date is offered to the audience by Fatma’s white hands, like a secular relic, so that it will not be forgotten. A symbolic gesture of resistance and opposition to censorship, impossible in other forms, that corresponds to a universal invocation to preserve memory. 📸 Fatma Bučak, “16 February” (part of “And so we were told” installation), 2020, digital archival print on thin archival paper, cm. 46,5 x 32 . . #fatmabucak #donatapizzi #collezionedonatapizzi #donatapizzicollection #cizre #censorship #missingwords #privatecollection #artcollector #proudlyintocollection #photo #photography #contemporaryart #conceptualart #socontemporary #contemporaryartcollection #artecontemporanea #womeninphotography #womenartists #femalephotographers #femaleartist
Fatma Bučak (@fatmabucak_me), born in Turkey in 1 Fatma Bučak (@fatmabucak_me), born in Turkey in 1984, studied Philosophy at Istanbul University and History of Art and Etching at the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts in Italy. She later completed her MA in Photography at the Royal College of Art in London. Bučak’s creative practices span performance, photography, sound, and video, focusing on themes of political identity, cultural and gender norms, and landscape as a medium for historical exploration. Her work delves into the fragility, tension, and irreversibility of history, questioning traditional methods of historical representation by incorporating the power of testimony and memory. Bučak’s exhibitions include prestigious venues such as the Venice Biennale, Castello di Rivoli, Museum of Contemporary Art, Jewish Museum New York, and Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto. Her art is featured in permanent collections at institutions like Fondazione Mario Merz, Arter, MAMbo, Civic Gallery of Modena, and the Unicredit Art Collection. In 2024, she served as a fellow at the American Academy in Rome and has been an artist-in-residence at the Italian Academy for Advanced Studies in America at Columbia University and ISCP in Brooklyn, New York. Bučak directed the documentary film “Almost Married,” which premiered at the International Documentary Film Festival in Amsterdam and co-curated the year-long performance series project “Transition” at YKY in Istanbul. She was honoured as a winner of the 9th Italian Council Award. . . #fatmabucak #donatapizzi #collezionedonatapizzi #donatapizzicollection #cizre #censorship #missingwords #privatecollection #artcollector #proudlyintocollection #photo #photography #contemporaryart #conceptualart #socontemporary #contemporaryartcollection #artecontemporanea #womeninphotography #womenartists #femalephotographers #femaleartist

#newacquisition 📸 | Photography for Giovanna Br #newacquisition 📸 | Photography for Giovanna Brogna Sonnino is the key to the most delicate points of introspection, supported by poems that are ambiguous, ironic and always sincere. The self-portraits and various intimate scenes in which the atmosphere suggests particular emotional states of the artist, delicate and often compromised by an air of indeterminacy, constitute the visual notes of a philosophical mode with which to investigate and taste life and its most bitter parts: those coming from silence with oneself. They are intimate images, often capturing a single detail, of an interior, of a landscape, of people, of self. 📸 Giovanna Brogna Sonnino, “Collage #10”, mixed media, cm. 24x30 @giovannabrognasonninoarchives @galleriasusannaocchipinti #giovannabrognasonnino #donatapizzi #collezionedonatapizzi #donatapizzicollection #privatecollection #artcollector #proudlyintocollection #experimentalart #photo #collage #mixedmedia #artwork #photography #operedarte #contemporaryart #selfportrait #conceptualart #socontemporary #contemporaryartcollection #artecontemporanea #womeninphotography #womenartists #femalephotographers #portraitphotography #femaleartist
#newacquisition | Giovanna Brogna Sonnino is a ver #newacquisition | Giovanna Brogna Sonnino is a versatile author with a broad cultural horizon who loves to trespass between techniques and languages that often cross paths. In the late 1970s, after her training in art history between Florence and Catania, Brogna Sonnino moved to Rome, where she became interested in the world of film and television thanks to her specialization as a cinematographer. In the same years she devoted herself to photography but her first exhibition was in 1986. Her work for the national Italian broadcast television was combined with an equally prolific one as an independent author and producer who never abandoned the imprinting of cinema given by the combination of narrative and rhythm. @giovannabrognasonninoarchives @galleriasusannaocchipinti #giovannabrognasonnino #donatapizzi #collezionedonatapizzi #donatapizzicollection #privatecollection #artcollector #proudlyintocollection #experimentalart #photo #collage #mixedmedia #artwork #photography #operedarte #contemporaryart #selfportrait #conceptualart #socontemporary #contemporaryartcollection #artecontemporanea #womeninphotography #womenartists #femalephotographers #portraitphotography #femaleartist
