INTERVIEW WITH ANGELA Vettese
Angela Vettese
Antonella Colaninno
An important process of reflection will be the theme of the fourth edition of Works / Works Festival of Contemporary Art in Faenza, Forms of collecting / Forms of purchasing 21 to 23 May 2011. Rediscovering the value of collecting as a path of harmony with the work of art, of self-representation of his own sensibility and vanitas, piuttosto che come una operazione esclusiva di investimento. L'arte come operazione commerciale o come necessità di espressione e di creatività mette in gioco le "Forme della committenza", ripercorrendo non solo il ruolo del collezionista ma anche quello dell'artista, in bilico tra la vocazione e "il miraggio del successo", tra ansia di visibilità e aspettative economiche. Riscoprire un rapporto intellettuale tra il collezionista e l'artista significa soprattutto uscire dalle rispettive logiche di successo e riscoprire da parte del collezionista il "sogno" dell'artista piuttosto che il suo "calcolo". Non si può scegliere un'opera prescindendo da chi l'ha realizzata e decidere che la stessa entri a far parte di una collezione significa "accettare elective affinities "that we have with the artist. In my opinion, there is no other form of collecting that is not felt and built on these criteria and can not be considered a form of collecting a clear investment operation. A collection represents a corpus that has experienced a critical route to a representative of an idea and feel that tell the story of an era through the choices of a personal taste.
Conversations with Science the festival for the early reflections and to Forms of collecting / Forms of clients. The word of Angela Vettese.
Italy was home to major collectors, people like Giuseppe Panza di Biumo, Claudia Gian Ferrari and Paul Consolandi have unfortunately disappeared recently. How do I create in our country a young collection? What will be different?
I will not forcibly collecting a pioneer, and perhaps less attentive to Italy since the movement of art is increasingly international.
What relationship is created between artist and collector? Can you tell us some anecdotes?
There are collectors who prefer not to know the artist, Panza himself told me that she loved to visit the school before buying, because he felt oppressed by the idea of \u200b\u200bhaving to please the artist. Sometimes you build a relationship of deep friendship, however, as between Gori and Julian Robert Morris, who lived together for months, while Morris was accomplishing his labyrinth the Villa Celle. The same Panza believe he's gone with the regret of not having seen the Roden Crater by James Turrell completed. And as for Consolandi, I remember with affection as the artists welcomed to dinner at his house or otherwise. Not to mention an absolute collector of fellowship as Giuliana Setari with artists like Ettore Spalletti or Vettor Pisani: the latter has even bought a marble quarry! Patrons as Maria Gloria Bicocchi have long lost the boundary between work and family life with the artists, having always ten for lunch and dinner for Christmas.
More and more artists have found the need to associate and nonprofit spaces, both physical and virtual. It's a sign of changing their relationship with the client?
At the bottom is always the case, the Salon des refusés onwards. The homes of the artists in the Village in New York were almost non-profit centers. In our Italian experience, places like Milan Via Lazzaro Palazzi or the House of Artists, in the eighties and nineties, wanted to be a space of action is not conditioned by the market at a time when the market was proving to be aggressive and able to divert styles, artistic mode of action, circulation systems. I believe that today the need is different: the market begins to take place in the internet, so underground and rebellious than the system of galleries and at auction. Artists know that the gallery is no longer the only guarantor of their success and use it as a brand, but not always exclusively.
The fourth edition of the festival will be titled of Contemporary Forms of collecting / Forms the client. In a journey into the shapes of the client what are the issues which can not be ignored?
Some questions: How much commercial success or the lure of reaching the work change? As the work of an artist is born to the vocation and what to sell? There is a point where it becomes an idea to sell aggressively to the artist and his work? There are collectors can call the artist at ease and make them do it again what would be part of his dream, instead it is calculated? And if this calculation is aimed to gain on its own or as a symptom of the gain visibilità? Quanto passa la visibilità attraverso la cruna del prezzo?

INTERVISTA A CARLOS BASUALDO
Quali segni ha lasciato la crisi globale nei meccanismi della committenza e della produzione delle opere d’arte?
Ad oggi, non è ancora molto chiaro quale sia stato l’effetto della crisi globale sul mondo dell’arte contemporanea. Forse perché solo negli ultimi mesi abbiamo cominciato a vedere le prime conseguenze, come ad esempio il taglio dei finanziamenti ai musei, da parte dei governi. Il caso inglese è stato molto pubblicizzato, il caso italiano è invece drammatico. Negli Stati Uniti l’impatto è stato meno notevole, anche perché i musei non ricevono molti finanziamenti pubblici, ma attingono soprattutto a fondi privati, dalle fondazioni, alle banche o alle aziende, fino ai semplici privati. La crisi ha avuto senz’altro effetti sull’azione delle fondazioni bancarie o delle aziende in ambito culturale. C’è un rallentamento, ma la situazione non è drammatica. Oggi stiamo più che altro cercando di valutare il fenomeno nel suo pieno svolgimento e di capire quali sono le aree più influenzate, ma credo che avremo una visione più chiara a partire dal prossimo anno
Vivi e lavori tra gli Stati Uniti e l’Italia. Quali differenze noti tra i due contesti nel modo di intendere una collezione, sia per quanto riguarda i privati che le istituzioni? Quali fattori positivi potrebbero “scambiarsi” questi due contesti?
Il collezionismo privato negli Stati Uniti e in Italia non sono molto differenti. Entrambi possono vantare importanti esempi di collezioni, con un’attenzione particolare agli artisti del proprio Paese, ma mi sembra anche logico. Per quanto riguarda le collezioni pubbliche siamo di fronte ad un fenomeno diverso. In Italia, per esempio, appartengono allo Stato, nelle sue diverse forme. Negli Stati Uniti invece sono soprattutto le ex collezioni private ad andare a costituire il corpus delle collezioni pubbliche. La politica delle donazioni permette ad un collezionista americano di ottenere dalla donazione work of important tax incentives from the state. The state thus promotes the health of the collections with the measures which unfortunately do not exist in Italy, creating a dynamism in growth and in strengthening the collections. This is an area on which, in Italy, you have to work.
A Faenza will discuss the role of museums. Since the birth of modern museology this institution has changed gradually, according to the needs of the times with which we face. It opens a new decade in your opinion is heading the museum, in its role as developer?
am quite clear the museum's transformation over the past twenty years. Museums play a vital role today because they participate in all aspects of people's lives and society. The museum's role as principal is increasingly important in the urban and contemporary art, since it promotes the creation of new works, but also in the formation of public collections. I believe that museums today have become very active collectors. MoMA, the Tate and the Pompidou Centre are an example. I think the general trend is very clearly developed in this direction and I think that will continue in this direction.

The fourth edition of the Festival of Contemporary Forms of collecting will be called / Forms della committenza. In un viaggio all’interno delle forme della committenza quali sono i temi da cui non si può prescindere?
è importante pensare ad un percorso sulla committenza perché ha delle radici storiche in Italia molto forti. Pensiamo alla Firenze Medicea, alle committenze Vaticane, al rapporto degli artisti con lo Stato e con la Chiesa... Nell’ambito anglosassone questo tema non ha lo stesso tessuto di riferimento. Oggi, naturalmente, si è passati ad un tipo di committenza molto diverso. Mi sembra perciò importante porsi la domanda relativa alle trasformazioni che hanno attraversato questo argomento, delucidando il rapporto tra pubblico e privato nell’arte di oggi.
