Il suo lavoro sembra essere sostenuto dalle stesse dinamiche che hanno caratterizzato
l’arte relazionale degli anni ’90, poiché a prima vista sembra far leva sul controllo
della comunicazione mediatica o altrimenti sfruttando l’aura magica dell’evento per farne
la sostanza stessa di cui è fatto il discorso. Solo in un secondo tempo ci si accorge che
De Bernardo sembra invece rimettere in questione l’ordine delle priorità e il concetto
stesso di controllo nell’opera d’arte. Il concetto stesso di design della comunicazione
gli è completamente alieno. Nel suo lavoro il paradosso non è il risultato preciso di
un assioma, o di un calcolo, ma si trasforma spesso in una cocente sconfitta,
nella materializzazione di qualcosa di più tristemente reale, in un fallimento.
Un fallimento però le cui rovine lasciano intravvedere frammenti di una realtà ancora
pulsante e testimone di memorie irredimibili.

Alan Bogana, born 1979 in Faido (CH), lives and works in Geneva (CH). He completed a Fine
Art Diploma with honors at the Geneva University of Art and Design in 2009, a
specialization in computer graphics in 2010 and one in artistic research methodologies
at the Zürich University of Art and Design in 2013.
In his works he is concerned with physical phenomena, the iconography of science,
and digital simulation. Scientific knowledge and technical tools are catalysts for
experimental artistic research in which, for example, he explores how far computer
graphics software can be used to simulate phenomena which could not occur in nature.

Angela a.k.a Makita
Born 8th November 1971, in Zurich. Angela Marzullo, was born in Zurich, of an Italian father,
and a Swiss mother, and has lived in Geneva since she attended art school there. She
links video and performance art to explore the feminist questions that are central to her
artistic practice. Since 2005 she has integrated her daughters Lucie and Stella
(born in 1995 and 1999) into her research. They figured in her video series
“Performing” in 2005, which is part of a wider cycle of films, entitled “Homeschooling”
since 2009, when Marzullo was artist in residence at the Swiss Institute at Rome. The
“Homeschooling” series has enabled her to address a wide audience, both in Switzerland
and beyond. She continues to pursue this collaborative work with her daughters, together
with other approaches: live performance, video performance and photography.

Yves Mettler realises interventions in the public space and sound installations presenting
a narrative fabric made of analyses and stories extracted from architecture, engineering,
history and social conditions which all-in-all let the urban environment talk. Following
local contingencies, stories, thoughts and desires, the works move between scales and
build a sense for what is called a global urbanization process. In 2013 he initiated
a series of shows about the Europe Squares of Berlin, Lausanne and Bobigny.

RELAX (chiarenza & hauser & co)
Marie-Antoinette Chiarenza and Daniel Hauser, based in Zurich/CH, work together since 1983. Their projects trade under the name RELAX (chiarenza & hauser & co), whereby the “ & co” never means company but stands for constellations and possible cooperations. Their works are on value questions, wealth, abundance and implicate questions about what is formatting us and how we can emancipate ourselfs from such formatting processes (which are dificult to avoid and even more difficult not to reproduce).
