The exhibition “Suitcase” was first exhibited at New York Public Library’s Art Collection Galleries (New York City) on April 13, 2005. It is a travelling exhibition that involves one hundred artists of ten different nationalities. “Suitcase” will continue it’s “trip” in Israel, Poland, Belgium, China, Denmark, France, Germany and Japan. In Italy the exhibition was presented in the new contemporary art space of Palazzo Pietromarchi in Marsciano (Perugia). It is a small city in Umbria, a region in the middle of Italy, chosen to signify that in the art world there are no hierarchies regarding place. The project was concived after a cultural/research visit of the curator, Daniele Di Lodovico to New York. The concept is to present the experiences of the completed and future research through these works of small dimension, easily transported and to pursue the idea of the voyage with curatorial experiences. New contacts with other artists of various nationalities will be created, looking for new exhibition spaces and for new interactions between art, culture and the travelling “Suitcase”.
