P R E FA C E
The 2011-12 Fine Arts programme has been another success, a combination of startlingly original work and
huge diversity. After the great uncertainties of recent years, my colleagues in the Faculty of the Fine Arts have
worked tirelessly to create new funding opportunities and new awards, and I am as grateful to them as I am
delighted to see new artists coming to the BSR. As we rebuild, slowly, from the past, we also have the
opportunity to bring new ideas and new projects to Rome.
I am particularly pleased that from this year, for the first time, all members of the BSR will receive the
Fine Arts catalogue. One of our ambitions was to re-establish links with the whole BSR community, and by
so doing, to encourage old friends to reconnect with us, and recent award-holders to sustain their
connection. We hope all of those who are reading this review will be inspired to come back to the BSR, and
it is tremendous that this summer, in July, August and September, all our studios will be occupied by former
or current award-holders.
For many of our supporters, this has been a difficult period too, and to them, both long-standing friends and
new sponsors, we are truly grateful. This year, we have received support from the Arts Council of Northern
Ireland; the Australia Council for the Arts; the Conseil des Arts et des Lettres, Québec; Creative Scotland; the
Derek Hill Foundation; the Giles Worsley Fund (in collaboration with the RIBA); the Incorporated Edwin
Austin Abbey Memorial Scholarships; the International Federation of Landscape Architects; the Linbury
Trust; the Max Mara Art Prize for Women (in collaboration with Whitechapel Gallery), and the National Art
School, Sydney. Beyond doubt the most significant achievement was the contribution by a group of former
award-holders to revive the Rome Prize in Architecture for 2012-13.
We are also beginning to broaden the number and nature of arts related events at the BSR; we began the
year with a lecture by the Otolith Group, who were showing at the MAXXI. It is our determination to
continue to work on this area of our activity and to provide a stronger programme to support arts and
architecture.
We see no distinction between the intellectual value and challenge of the various areas of the BSR’s activity.
What makes the BSR so unusual as a British research institute is the range and quality of activity; the very best
artists from across the Commonwealth and the very best scholars live and work together, and their interactions
illuminate our shared experience. We are always open to new ideas and new projects. The fascinating overlaps
between the work of portraitist Kimathi Donkor, architect Rashid Ali, and our two BSR / Society for Libyan
Studies fellows Mattia Toaldo and Barbara Spadaro in exploring the relationships between northern Africa and
Italy from the later 19th century to the contemporary period is simply one example of the uniquely
international and interdisciplinary nature of BSR work.
I hope you will enjoy this review, and I hope you will encourage others to become part of this unique and
wonderful institution. With your support, we will continue to stand for the lasting value of creativity and the
arts.

Fine Arts 2011-2012
P R E FA Z I O N E
Il programma Fine Arts nel 2011-12 è stato nuovamente un successo, una combinazione di opere
sorprendentemente originali e grande diversità. Dopo le forti incertezze degli ultimi anni, i miei colleghi della
Faculty of the Fine Arts hanno lavorato instancabilmente per procurare nuovi finanziamenti e nuove borse
residenziali, e sono riconoscente a loro quanto sono felice di vedere nuovi artisti giungere all’Accademia
Britannica. Mentre lentamente recuperiamo rispetto al passato, abbiamo anche l’opportunità di portare a
Roma nuove idee e nuovi progetti.
Sono particolarmente lieto del fatto che da quest’anno, per la prima volta, tutti i sottoscrittori della BSR
riceveranno il catalogo Fine Arts. Una delle nostre ambizioni era di ristabilire i legami con l’intera comunità
BSR, incoraggiando in questo modo i vecchi amici a riconnettersi con noi, e i borsisti recenti a mantenere il
contatto. Ci auguriamo che tutti coloro che leggono questa pubblicazione ne traggano desiderio di tornare
alla BSR, ed è eccellente che quest’estate, in luglio, agosto e settembre, tutti i nostri studi saranno occupati da
borsisti passati o attuali.
Anche per molti dei nostri sostenitori questo è stato un periodo difficile, e siamo veramente grati sia agli
amici di lunga data che ai nuovi sponsor. Quest’anno abbiamo ricevuto il sostegno di Arts Council of
Northern Ireland, Australia Council for the Arts, Conseil des Arts et des Lettres del Québec, Creative
Scotland, Derek Hill Foundation, Giles Worsley Fund (in collaborazione con il RIBA), Incorporated Edwin
Austin Abbey Memorial Scholarships, International Federation of Landscape Architects, Linbury Trust, Max
Mara Art Prize for Women (in collaborazione con la Whitechapel Gallery), e National Art School, Sydney.
Senza dubbio il risultato più significativo è stato il contributo di un gruppo di ex borsisti, che consentirà di
far rivivere il Rome Prize in Architecture nel 2012-13.
Stiamo anche ampliando il numero e la natura degli eventi artistici alla BSR, e abbiamo iniziato l’anno
con una conferenza di The Otolith Group in occasione della loro mostra al MAXXI. È nostra ferma
intenzione continuare a lavorare in questo settore della nostra attività e offrire un più forte programma a
sostegno delle arti e l’architettura.
Riteniamo non ci siano differenze di valore e impegno intellettuale tra le varie aree di attività della BSR.
Ciò che rende l’Accademia unica fra gli istituti di ricerca britannici è la gamma e la qualità delle sue attività;
i migliori artisti e i migliori studiosi provenienti da tutto il Commonwealth vivono e lavorano insieme, e le
loro interazioni illuminano la nostra esperienza condivisa. Siamo sempre aperti a nuove idee e nuovi progetti.
Le affascinanti tangenze tra i lavori del pittore ritrattista Kimathi Donkor, dell’architetto Ali Rashid, e dei
nostri due borsisti BSR / Society for Libyan Studies, Mattia Toaldo e Barbara Spadaro nell’esplorare le
relazioni tra Nord Africa e Italia dalla seconda metà del XIX secolo a oggi, sono solo un esempio dell’unicità
del carattere internazionale e interdisciplinare del lavoro dell’Accademia Britannica.
Spero che apprezzerete questa pubblicazione, e suggerirete ad altre persone di diventar parte di questa
istituzione unica e meravigliosa. Con il vostro aiuto, continueremo a sostenere il duraturo valore della
creatività e delle arti.

INTRODUCTION
The academic year 2011-12 brought two new Fine Arts residential awards, the Creative Scotland Document
Fellowship, whose first recipient was Scottish photojournalist Angela Catlin, and the Max Mara Art Prize for
Women, awarded to French artist Laure Prouvost; and the resumption of the Rome Scholarship in Landscape
Architecture, awarded to the Portuguese architect Duarte Natário dos Santos and supported by the International
Federation of Landscape Architects. We are grateful to our sponsors for the welcome addition of these
scholarships. Their recipients demonstrate once again that the British School is increasingly multinational as well
as multidisciplinary. This year we had the pleasure to have as our residents – in addition to six artists from
England, Scotland, Northern Ireland – five artists from Australia; three from France, Spain, the United States; and
three architects from Somalia, Québec, and Portugal.
On 22 September 2011, Domenico De Clario, Australia Council Resident over the summer months, staged a
one-night public performance/installation entitled Forestories, in collaboration with fellow Australian performance
artist Sam Burke. Simultaneously Richard Gasper (Sainsbury Scholar in Painting and Sculpture 2010-11)
presented works he had made in Rome during the last part of his twelve-month residency.
The first Fine Arts group exhibition of 2011-12, Seven Things To Do In An Emergency, held between 12 and 21
December, featured new works by artists Richard Gasper, Nicholas Hatfull (Sainsbury Scholar in Painting and
Sculpture), Kimathi Donkor (Derek Hill Foundation Scholar), David Lock (Abbey Scholar in Painting), Fiona
Macdonald (Abbey Fellow in Painting), Heather B. Swann (Australia Council Resident), and architect Rashid Ali
(Giles Worsley Travel Fellow). Kimathi Donkor and Rashid Ali both contributed to the development of a crossdisciplinary research theme on relations between Italy and North Africa.
In December, the magazine Arte e Roma published a brief interview with Jacopo Benci where he illustrated the
Fine Arts programme, including the forthcoming Creative Scotland Document Fellowship and Max Mara Art
Prize for Women residency.
The second Fine Arts group exhibition, I don’t know how a rock feels, held between 16 and 24 March,
included works by artists Nicholas Hatfull, David Lock, Angela Catlin, Charles Cooper (National Art School
Sydney Resident in Drawing), Colin Darke (Arts Council of Northern Ireland Fellow), George Egerton-

INTRODUZIONE
L'anno accademico 2011-12 ha portato al programma Fine Arts due nuove residenze, la Creative Scotland
Document Fellowship, la cui prima premiata è stata la fotogiornalista scozzese Angela Catlin, e il Max Mara Art
Prize for Women, assegnato all’artista francese Laure Prouvost; e la ripresa della Rome Scholarship in Landscape
Architecture, assegnata all’architetto portoghese Duarte Natário dos Santos e sostenuta dalla Federazione
Internazionale degli Architetti di Paesaggio (IFLA). Siamo grati ai nostri sponsor per aver posto in essere queste
borse. Gli artisti cui sono state assegnate mostrano ancora una volta che l’Accademia Britannica è sempre più
multinazionale oltre che multidisciplinare. Quest’anno abbiamo avuto il piacere di avere fra i nostri residenti – oltre
a sei artisti provenienti da Inghilterra, Scozia, Irlanda del Nord – cinque artisti provenienti dall’Australia, tre da
Francia, Spagna, Stati Uniti, e tre architetti dalla Somalia, Québec, e Portogallo.
Il 22 settembre 2011, Domenico De Clario, Australia Council Resident durante i mesi estivi, ha presentato per
una sola sera la performance/installazione Forestories, in collaborazione con la performer australiana Sam Burke.
Allo stesso tempo Richard Gasper (Sainsbury Scholar in Painting and Sculpture 2010-11) ha presentato le opere da
lui realizzate a Roma durante l’ultima parte della sua residenza annuale.
La prima mostra collettiva Fine Arts del 2011-12, Seven Things To Do In An Emergency, si è tenuta dal 12 al
21 dicembre e ha presentato nuove opere degli artisti Richard Gasper, Nicholas Hatfull (Sainsbury Scholar in
Painting and Sculpture), Kimathi Donkor (Derek Hill Foundation Scholar), David Lock (Abbey Scholar in
Painting), Fiona Macdonald (Abbey Fellow in Painting), Heather B. Swann (Australia Council Resident), e
l’architetto Rashid Ali (Giles Worsley Travel Fellow). Kimathi Donkor e Rashid Ali hanno inoltre contribuito a
sviluppare un programma di ricerca trans-disciplinare sulle relazioni tra Italia e Nord Africa.
Nel mese di dicembre, la rivista Arte e Roma ha pubblicato una breve intervista con Jacopo Benci che ha
illustrato il programma Fine Arts, tra cui le novità della Creative Scotland Document Fellowship e del Max Mara
Art Prize for Women.
La seconda collettiva dell’anno, I don’t know how a rock feels, si è tenuta dal 16 al 24 marzo ed ha incluso opere
degli artisti Nicholas Hatfull, David Lock, Angela Catlin, Charles Cooper (National Art School Sydney Resident in
Drawing), Colin Darke (Arts Council of Northern Ireland Fellow), George Egerton-Warburton (Australia Council

Warburton (Australia Council Resident), Covadonga Valdés (Abbey Fellow in Painting), and architects Duarte
Natário dos Santos, and Felix Schwimmer (Québec Architecture Resident).
On 20 April Duarte Natário dos Santos and Felix Schwimmer presented illustrated papers on their Rome
projects at the annual international conference Grand Tour del Terzo Millennio held at the Tor Vergata University
of Rome.
Colin Darke, Nicholas Hatfull, and Laure Prouvost took part in the tenth edition of the Spazi Aperti exhibition,
curated by critic Eleonora Farina at the Romanian Academy, which opened on 23 May and finished on 15 June
in coincidence with the opening of the Fine Arts exhibition at the School.
On 25 May, following a pattern inaugurated last year, the 2012 edition of the Roma Contemporary art fair
brought collectors and gallery-goers to visit to the artists’ studios.
On 15 June the final group exhibition of the academic year, entitled wher you live now, featured works by
Colin Darke, Nicholas Hatfull, Jessica Kirkpatrick (Abbey Fellow in Painting), David Lock, Laure Prouvost, and
Luke Roberts (Australia Council Resident).
Through these activities, and thanks to the high standard and variety of the creative work of our award holders,
the Fine Arts programme contributes substantially to the life and profile of the School, while at the same time it is
recognized and praised by the Roman public for its quality and interest. Over the last year, several of our artists
have been featured on the front cover of the capital’s leading English language magazine, Wanted in Rome.
The Fine Arts programme could not provide a thorough service without the precious help of voluntary
assistants. This year’s Fine Arts interns came from Rome based John Cabot University, consolidating a
collaboration between the two institutions that proved to be of mutual satisfaction. Celia Yang worked from
October 2011 to March 2012; Anna Prosvetova, from January to early May; Giorgia Tamburi, later joined by Clara
Giannini, took over when Anna left. They all ably and reliably helped sourcing materials and suppliers for the
residents’ works, and assisted with the preparation, communication, and invigilation of exhibitions, while working
on the inventory of hundreds of scholars’ files in the Fine Arts archive, spanning over two decades.

Schwimmer (Québec Architecture Resident).
Il 20 aprile Duarte Natário dos Santos e Felix Schwimmer hanno presentato relazioni sui loro progetti romani al
convegno annuale internazionale Grand Tour del Terzo Millennio presso l’Università Tor Vergata di Roma.
Colin Darke, Nicholas Hatfull e Laure Prouvost hanno partecipato alla decima edizione della mostra Spazi
Aperti, curata dal critico Eleonora Farina presso l’Accademia di Romania, che ha aperto il 23 maggio e si è conclusa
il 15 giugno in coincidenza con l’inaugurazione della mostra Fine Arts all’Accademia Britannica.
Il 25 maggio, seguendo un modello inaugurato lo scorso anno, l’edizione 2012 della fiera Roma Contemporary
ha portato collezionisti e pubblico dell’arte alla BSR per visitare gli studi degli artisti.
Il 15 giugno la collettiva finale dell’anno, dal titolo wher you live now, ha presentato opere di Colin Darke,
Nicholas Hatfull, Jessica Kirkpatrick (Abbey Fellow in Painting), David Lock, Laure Prouvost, e Luke Roberts
(Australia Council Resident).
Attraverso queste attività, e grazie all’alto standard e alla varietà del lavoro creativo dei nostri residenti, il
programma Fine Arts dà un contributo essenziale alla vita e al profilo dell’Accademia Britannica, ed è riconosciuto e
apprezzato per qualità e interesse dal pubblico romano. Nell’ultimo anno, opere di diversi nostri artisti sono state
scelte come copertine della principale rivista in lingua inglese della capitale, Wanted in Rome.
Il programma Fine Arts non potrebbe fornire un servizio adeguato senza il prezioso contributo di assistenti
volontari. Le Fine Arts Interns quest’anno sono state studentesse della John Cabot University di Roma, consolidando
tra le due istituzioni una collaborazione dimostratasi di mutua soddisfazione. Celia Yang ha lavorato alla BSR da
ottobre 2011 a marzo 2012; Anna Prosvetova, da gennaio a inizio maggio; Giorgia Tamburi ha iniziato quando
Anna è partita, venendo poi affiancata da Clara Giannini. Tutte hanno contribuito efficacemente alla ricerca di
materiali per le opere dei residenti, e alla preparazione, comunicazione, guardiania delle mostre, lavorando inoltre
all'inventario di centinaia di cartelle individuali di borsisti dell’archivio Fine Arts, che copre oltre due decenni.

Architecture and built form of Mogadishu, 1910-1936
Architettura e forma costruita di Mogadiscio, 1910-1936
To the popular imagination, the Somali capital Mogadishu
has in recent years come to be characterized by death,
destruction and displacement caused by infighting among
the various groups of clans, militias, warlords, religious
groups and its government, who all sought to subject their
control over what remains of its population and built
environment. However, only two decades or so ago
Mogadishu was physically, politically, socially and
culturally a very different place.
In the course of its history Mogadishu has been influenced
by the various cultures of its diverse inhabitants, traders
and rulers, which came to strongly inform its pre civil war
social, cultural and physical characteristics.
Most significantly it began as an important pre-colonial port
city for trading of goods with Arabian Peninsula and the
spread of Islamic cultural influences along the East African
coast. However, the city’s pre civil war architecture and
urban environment owes its morphology and characteristics
to its former colonial power, Italy, the last of the European
powers to join the ‘scramble for Africa’. The city began to
expand after Rome took over direct administration of the
country from Italian trading companies. A small group of
military and civil officials were entrusted with the task of
providing the city with administrative organisation and the
construction of infrastructure and public buildings began
to be implemented from around 1910.
Many of the buildings that defined the city’s appearance
dated from 1920 onwards and tended to be of a mixture of
colonial, Arabic and Modernist aesthetic, which continued
to influence the subsequent built form until the 1980’s,
before much of it was destroyed during the civil conflict
from the early 1990’s onwards. Modernism, which
continued to influence the architecture and built form
after independence, was largely seen as a manifestation,
with which the country could assert its new identity
through new architectural forms.
Nell’immaginazione popolare, la capitale somala
Mogadiscio è stata negli ultimi anni caratterizzata da
morte, distruzione e sfollamento causati da lotte intestine
tra i vari gruppi di clan, milizie, signori della guerra, gruppi
religiosi e il governo, che hanno tutti cercato di imporre il
proprio controllo su ciò che resta della sua popolazione e
dell’ambiente urbano. Peraltro, solo due decenni fa circa
Mogadiscio era fisicamente, politicamente, socialmente e
culturalmente un luogo molto diverso.
Nel corso della sua storia Mogadiscio è stata influenzata
dalle varie culture dei suoi diversi abitanti, commercianti e
governanti, che giunsero a determinare le sue caratteristiche
sociali, culturali e fisiche prima della guerra civile.
Essenzialmente, Mogadiscio nacque come importante città
portuale precoloniale per il commercio con la penisola arabica
e la diffusione di influenze culturali islamiche lungo la costa
orientale africana. Peraltro, l’architettura e l’ambiente urbano
della città prima della guerra civile debbono morfologia e
caratteristiche alla potenza coloniale che l’aveva dominata,
l’Italia, ultima potenza europea a partecipare alla ‘corsa
all’Africa’. Mogadiscio iniziò ad espandersi dopo che Roma
rilevò la gestione del paese da imprese commerciali italiane.
A partire dal 1910 circa, il compito di fornire alla città
un’organizzazione amministrativa e di costruire
infrastrutture e edifici pubblici venne affidato a un piccolo
gruppo di funzionari militari e civili.
Molti degli edifici che definirono l’aspetto della città datano
dal 1920 in poi, e tendono a essere una miscela di estetica
coloniale, araba e modernista che continuò a influenzare
l’edilizia successiva fino agli anni Ottanta, prima di essere
in gran parte distrutti durante la guerra civile dai primi
anni Novanta in poi. Il modernismo, che continuò ad
influenzare l’architettura e l’urbanistica dopo
l’indipendenza, era per lo più visto come una
manifestazione tramite cui il paese poteva affermare la sua
nuova identità attraverso nuove forme architettoniche.

Domenico de Clario
Sam Burke and Domenico de Clario presented a sitespecific performance in the BSR Gallery in late September
2011. It was titled forestories and the following is an
abridged version of the collaborative text/map they
performed inside four installations made specifically for the
BSR Gallery space:
Sam Burke e Domenico de Clario hanno presentato una
performance site-specific nella Galleria della BSR a fine
settembre 2011. Si intitolava forestories e la seguente è una
versione ridotta del testo/mappa collaborativo che hanno
eseguito all’interno di quattro installazioni realizzate
appositamente per lo spazio della Galleria BSR:
1. home (his story)
last night like most nights she fell asleep as he was reading
to her he reads to her every night the odyssey the poems
of kabir sufi essays accounts of the strange lives of zen
monks
he
watched
her breathing become
more
regular
as it aligned itself to the rhythm of his reading
when they became as one he asked are you asleep?
1. home (la storia di lui)
ieri sera come quasi tutte le sere lei si addormentò mentre
lui leggeva a lei lui legge a lei ogni sera l’odissea le poesie
di kabir saggi sufi racconti delle strane vite dei monaci
zen lui guardava il respiro di lei diventare più regolare
mentre si adeguava al ritmo della sua lettura
quando
essi divennero
una cosa sola
lui
chiese
dormi?

Fine Arts 2011-2012
2. aspettaci (their story)
i sat down on one of the kitchen chairs on the footpath
outside her house and she came to sit next to me
what i remember is her hands they reminded me of
plants of the stalks of a long-gone species of flowers
that had once resembled human hands looking up
at the grand eucalypt with its furtherest away leaves
blinking in the morning sun i said to him ‘i don’t
want to live in italy i want to live here this is
where i live this is where my heart is this is my
home’ the pearl hidden inside the shell is built from
irritants from what isn’t wanted into the perfection of
imperfection ‘aspettaci!’ she cried out from the
platform as i negotiated my suitcase down the train
aisle it rang in my ears and made my heart beat
loudly and the train oblivious pulled slowly out
2. aspettaci (la loro storia)
mi sedetti
su una delle sedie da cucina sul vialetto
davanti a casa di lei e lei venne a sedersi accanto a me
quello che io ricordo sono le sue mani che mi ricordavano
delle piante degli steli di una specie di fiori estinta da tempo
che un tempo avevano assomigliato a mani umane
guardando in alto al grande eucalipto con le sue foglie più
distanti tremolanti nel sole del mattino gli dissi ‘non voglio
vivere in Italia voglio vivere qui qui è dove vivo il mio
cuore è qui questa è casa mia’ la perla celata nella
conchiglia è formata da sostanze irritanti provenienti da
ciò che non si vuole
nella perfezione dell’imperfezione
‘aspettaci!’
ella
gridò
dalla banchina mentre io
armeggiavo con la mia valigia lungo il corridoio del
treno risuonava nelle mie orecchie e mi faceva battere
il cuore forte
e
il treno
ignaro
partiva lentamente
3. love (everyone’s story)
love is not eternity / nor is it the time of calendars and
watches successive time / it is the perception of all
times of all lives in a single instant / it does not free
us from death but makes us see it face to face / what
does the couple see in the space of an instant?
the
equation of appearance and disappearance the truth
of the body and the non-body…
octavio paz
3. love (la storia di tutti)
l’amore non è l’eternità / non è nemmeno il tempo di
calendari e orologi
il tempo successivo / è la
percezione di tutti i tempi di tutte le vite in un solo
istante / non ci libera dalla morte ma ce la fa vedere
faccia a faccia / cosa vede la coppia nello spazio di un
istante?
l’equazione di apparizione e scomparsa
la
verità
del corpo e del non-corpo...
octavio paz
4. only a weathercast warning (her story)
on a street in the town of palermo
an old man went about on his way
when he stopped by a jewellery shop window
for something took his breath away
4. only a weathercast warning (la storia di lei)
su una strada nella città di palermo
un vecchio andava per la sua strada
quando si fermò vicino alla vetrina di una gioielleria
perché qualcosa gli tolse il respiro
on a shelf in between the gold watches
a silver ring with a pearl
its beauty was that of no other
it was meant for only one girl
su un ripiano tra gli orologi d’oro
un anello d’argento con una perla
la sua bellezza era senza eguali
era stata concepita per una sola ragazza
in his pocket it sat for the train ride
to the fisherman’s town cefalù
when that night in the dark of their bedroom
by the light of a sicilian moon
restò nella sua tasca durante il viaggio in treno
fino al paese di pescatori cefalù
quando quella notte nel buio della loro camera da letto
alla luce di una luna siciliana
she cried at its beauty
they wept in each others’ arms
fear is the anchor of duty
love is a bird of winged charm
ella gridò per la sua bellezza
piansero tra le braccia l’uno dell’altra
la paura è l’ancora del dovere
l’amore è un uccello dal fascino alato
it was only a weathercast warning

Why are you wearing athletic gear if you’re not playing
any sport today? is an auto-reflexive film documenting the
theft of a camera.
Perché indossi abiti sportivi se oggi non hai intenzione di
praticare dello sport? è un film autoriflessivo che
documenta il furto di una macchina fotografica.
In a single take, the footage escorts us past landmarks of
Imperial Rome and sites rendered notorious in Italian
cinema.
In un’unica ripresa, il filmato attraversa gli antichi
monumenti della Roma imperiale e i luoghi resi celebri dal
cinema italiano.
It conjures questions of an artist’s physical and fiscal
endurance, and strips the film back to the acquisition of
the camera used to shoot it. Perhaps it does little more
than associate the production of experimental film with
being an idiot. It provides a perambulating tour of Rome.
Il film evoca riflessioni sulla resistenza fisica e fiscale di un
artista e lo riporta al punto dell’acquisizione della
macchina usata per fare la ripresa. Forse fa qualcosa in più
che associare la produzione di un film sperimentale
all’essere un idiota. Di certo offre un giro a piedi per Roma.

My research in Rome centred on how painting and
sculpture inform each other within my practice. Seeing
Carracci’s Perseus and Andromeda (Palazzo Farnese),
something in the positioning of the dramatis personae held
my attention. Andromeda, chained to a rock, dominates and
divides the painting, her weeping parents to the right, and a
tiny Perseus slaying the sea-monster to her left. Tied down,
Andromeda is rendered on some level two dimensional.
Perseus rescues and marries her, thus bringing her to (3D)
freedom and fulfilment. He uses Medusa’s head to turn the
sea monster to stone, whilst riding Pegasus, the steed that
leapt from her severed neck. Petrification is an obvious
metaphor for the sculptural, also death, but it is Andromeda’s
transformation into painting that is described as liberating by
Joanna Woodall’s illuminating essay on the subject
(‘Wtewael’s Perseus and Andromeda, looking for love in
seventeenth century Dutch painting’, in Manifestations of
Venus. Art and Sexuality, ed. Arscott & Scott 2010). In Ovid,
when Perseus first glimpses Andromeda, he assumes she is a
statue. In rescuing her, he restores her ‘to the full flesh and
blood beauty which is painting’. In Carracci’s version,
Perseus rescues the ‘feminine’ only via the ‘monstrous
(Medusan) feminine’, which Woodall aligns (‘horrific,
uncontained matter’) with ‘the messy material debris of the
painter’s studio’! That’s a state of matter I resonate with – full
of uncertainty and superabundance.

Fine Arts 2011-2012
La mia ricerca a Roma si è incentrata su come pittura e
scultura si informino reciprocamente nella mia pratica.
Vedendo Perseo e Andromeda di Carracci (Palazzo Farnese),
qualcosa nel posizionamento delle dramatis personae ha
attirato la mia attenzione. Andromeda, incatenata ad una
roccia, domina e divide il dipinto, i suoi genitori piangenti a
destra, e un piccolo Perseo che uccide il mostro marino alla
sua sinistra. Legata, Andromeda è resa in qualche modo
bidimensionale. Perseo la salva e la sposa, portandola così alla
libertà e realizzazione (in 3D). Egli usa la testa di Medusa per
mutare il mostro marino in pietra, mentre cavalca Pegaso, il
cavallo che scaturì dal collo meduseo reciso. La pietrificazione
è una ovvia metafora della scultura, e della morte, ma è la
trasformazione di Andromeda in pittura che è descritta come
liberatrice nel saggio illuminante di Joanna Woodall
sull’argomento (‘Wtewael’s Perseus and Andromeda, looking for
love in seventeenth century Dutch painting’, in Manifestations
of Venus. Art and Sexuality, a cura di Arscott & Scott 2010).
In Ovidio, quando Perseo vede per la prima volta Andromeda
ritiene sia una statua. Nel salvarla, la restituisce alla ‘bellezza
di carne e sangue che è la pittura’. Nella versione di Carracci,
Perseo salva il ‘femminile’ solo attraverso il ‘femminile
mostruoso (meduseo)’, che Woodall allinea (‘orribile,
incontenibile materia’) con ‘i caotici detriti materiali dello
studio del pittore’! Questo è uno stato della materia con cui ho
sintonia – pieno d’incertezza e sovrabbondanza.

Parco Centocelle is an archaeological park in the southeast of Rome. My work consists of a proposal for the
requalification of Parco Centocelle into an agricultural and urban park. Sustainable demands ask for new approaches in
landscape architecture. Capitalizing on the idea of urban allotment and community gardens, the new park will serve the
people of Centocelle and its surroundings. There are numerous benefits of urban farming practices, with emphasis on
the role they could play in the household economy and the quality of nutrition as well as numerous social and
environmental benefits. At a time when the UN considers the promotion of urban agriculture as the most important
urban planning of the XXI century, Italy and Rome should be able to conciliate the urban socio-economic development
with their agricultural potential. My research and project allowed me to develop on this subject.
My proposal consists in a study of the evolution of the agricultural landscape in Italy, with a more detailed approach on
the Roman Agricultural Landscape, and how Italy and Rome can rescue and develop this values, in the modern landscape
design.
As a case study I propose the theme of urban vegetable gardens.
As a more specific example of this kind of approach in Rome, my proposal is to develop a project for a new urban park
located in the area that is now the Parco Centocelle, on the southeast of the city, now abandoned, that was 95 hectares of
Agro Romano. With the creation of sustainable urban gardens, contributing for food and income for the local people, and
also promoting the development of different activities and events, selling local products, organic weekly market, food fairs
and exhibitions.

Il Parco Centocelle è un parco archeologico nel sud-est di Roma. Il mio lavoro consiste in una proposta per la riqualificazione
del Parco Centocelle in parco agricolo e urbano. Le esigenze della sostenibilità richiedono nuovi approcci nell’architettura di
paesaggio. Sfruttando l'idea di orti urbani in concessione e giardini comunitari, il nuovo parco servirà gli abitanti di
Centocelle e dintorni. Ci sono numerosi vantaggi nelle pratiche agricole urbane, in particolare il ruolo che esse possono
svolgere per l'economia familiare e la qualità della nutrizione, oltre a numerosi benefici sociali e ambientali. Nel momento in
cui le Nazioni Unite ritengono che la promozione dell'agricoltura urbana sia la pianificazione urbanistica più importante
del XXI secolo, l'Italia e Roma dovrebbero essere in grado di conciliare lo sviluppo urbano socio-economico con il proprio
potenziale agricolo. La mia ricerca e il mio progetto mi hanno permesso di approfondire questo argomento.
La mia proposta consiste in uno studio dell'evoluzione del paesaggio agrario in Italia, con un approccio più dettagliato sul
paesaggio agricolo romano, e su come l'Italia e Roma possano salvare e sviluppare questi valori nella progettazione del
paesaggio moderno.
Come caso di studio propongo il tema degli orti urbani.
Per un esempio più specifico di questo tipo di approccio a Roma, la mia proposta è quello di sviluppare un progetto per un
nuovo parco urbano situato nella zona che ora è il Parco Centocelle, a sud-est della città, 95 ettari di Agro Romano
attualmente abbandonato. La creazione di orti urbani sostenibili, che danno un apporto alimentare e di reddito alla
popolazione locale, ma promuovono anche lo sviluppo di diverse attività ed eventi, la vendita di prodotti locali, un mercato
biologico settimanale, fiere gastronomiche e mostre.

Luke Roberts has developed an intricate personal
mythology that interpolates local and cosmological, and
past and future to offer a unique view on themes of
religion, sexuality, and human history.
In the 1970s, inspired in part by Chariots of the Gods and
Fellini’s Roma, he created the extraterrestrial alternative
pontiff persona, Pope Alice, to contest the Catholicism
and Western paradigm in which he was raised.
He creates works in many different media, especially
photography. His Wunderkammern installations are
concerned with concealed human history and gullibility
and attempt a fuller understanding of our world and
each other.

Luke Roberts ha sviluppato una complessa mitologia
personale che interpola locale e cosmologico, e passato e
futuro, per offrire un punto di vista unico sui temi della
religione, la sessualità, e la storia umana.
Negli anni Settanta, parzialmente ispirato da Gli
extraterrestri torneranno e da Roma di Fellini, ha creato il
pontefice alternativo extraterrestre, Papa Alice, per
contestare il cattolicesimo e il paradigma occidentale in cui
egli si è formato.
Roberts crea opere in diversi media, soprattutto fotografia.
Le sue installazioni Wunderkammern trattano della storia
umana occulta e della credulità, e tentano di comprendere
più pienamente il nostro mondo e noi stessi.

Archaeology of the Future: Dystopian Tourism in Rome
Archeologia del futuro: turismo distopico a Roma
A speculative project of architecture that presents a fictional
narrative based in Rome is devoted to the prescient subject of
ecological change and adaptations caused by artificial
interventions into existing ecosystems.
The plot is set in a future conditioned by recurring floods more
devastating than historical ones, by a ‘technocratic world
government’ owning political power and where technologies
mutate as they are transferred from one field to another.
Compelling underwater vedutas explore architecture through a
dystopian eye, where the focus of the project is less in the form of
a final object than as a script that it inserts into the city. A series
of inventions enables coexistence with the underwater city: firstly
a colossal inhabitable porous self-supporting structure floats
above the city; second a mechanical fish was designed to travel
inside the marvelous ruins.
Against this backdrop, one reflects upon the major contemporary
processes that capture, power and govern the changes and
challenges we are facing today, questioning what architecture
could generate when faced with extreme scientific, cultural and
political scenarios.
Un progetto speculativo di architettura che presenta un racconto
di finzione ambientato a Roma, dedicato al tema preveggente del
cambiamento ecologico e degli adattamenti causati da interventi
artificiali negli ecosistemi esistenti.
La storia è ambientata in un futuro condizionato da ricorrenti
inondazioni più devastanti di quelle storiche, da un ‘governo
tecnocratico mondiale’ che detiene il potere politico, e da tecnologie
che mutano quando vengono trasferite da un campo a un altro.
Avvincenti vedute sottomarine esplorano l’architettura con occhio
distopico, in cui il punto focale del progetto non è tanto un oggetto
finito quanto il copione che inserisce nella città. Una serie di
invenzioni consente la convivenza con la città sommersa: in primo
luogo una colossale struttura abitabile porosa autoportante fluttua
sopra la città, in secondo luogo un pesce meccanico è stato
progettato per viaggiare all’interno delle meravigliose rovine.
Su questo sfondo, si riflette sui principali processi contemporanei
che conquistano, alimentano e governano i cambiamenti e le sfide
che ci troviamo ad affrontare oggi, mettendo in discussione ciò che
l'architettura potrebbe generare di fronte a scenari scientifici,
culturali e politici estremi.

In Rome I was looking at animals in architecture.
A Roma ho guardato gli animali nell’architettura.
I went to St Peter’s on the two-tone green number 19 tram,
with its white laminex seats. It was sunny and warm and
golden. As I walked towards the church a small white
feather fell from the sky into my hand. I tucked it under my
wedding ring. In the basilica there are marble doves at the
bases of the central columns. I thought that if they all stood
together they would make a forest. As we were evicted the
moon was rising over Rome, full and enormous. Everyone
caught their breath. On the tram home, the feather tickled
my finger in the late summer breeze.
Sono andata a San Pietro sul tram verde bicolore 19, con i
suoi sedili bianchi di laminex. Era soleggiato e caldo e
dorato. Mentre camminavo verso la chiesa una piccola piuma
bianca cadde dal cielo nella mia mano. L'ho nascosta sotto il
mio anello nuziale. Nella basilica ci sono colombe di marmo
alle basi delle colonne centrali. Ho pensato che se fossero
state tutte insieme avrebbero fatto una foresta. Quando siamo
stati fatti uscire la luna stava sorgendo su Roma, piena ed
enorme. Tutti hanno trattenuto il fiato. Sul tram del ritorno,
la piuma solleticava il mio dito nella brezza di fine estate.
The dove with the olive branch is easily overlooked in its
ubiquity, its message old and faded.
La colomba col ramoscello d’ulivo viene facilmente trascurata
per la sua ubiquità, il suo messaggio vecchio e sbiadito.
There are no real animals in Rome except domestic dogs
and cats. Many pigeons. This is the story of cities. I sat in
the Piazza Farnese and drew the pigeons. I went back to
count the St Peter’s doves. There are 52 panels, with a
dove at the bottom and top of each. I made 12 birds, to
resonate with the calendar number of the basilica and of
the apostles; I am not religious but it is the stuff that one
breathes in here.
Non ci sono veri animali a Roma ad eccezione di cani e
gatti domestici. Molti piccioni. Questa è la storia delle città.
Mi sono seduta a Piazza Farnese e ho disegnato i piccioni.
Sono tornata a contare le colombe di San Pietro. Ci sono 52
pannelli, ognuno ha una colomba alla base e una in cima.
Ho fatto 12 uccelli, per echeggiare il numero calendariale
della basilica e degli apostoli; non sono religiosa, ma queste
sono le cose che si respirano qui.
The doves were made in the unseasonal warmth of Roman
October 2011. Sweet. White. Pure. Too much so – by this
time I was stumbling over the sinister. Walking dirtier
streets. Seeing through stories. Working the underhand
economy. Running up against power. The olive branches
are mere bunches of sticks.
Le colombe sono state fatte nel tepore fuori stagione
dell’ottobre 2011 a Roma. Dolci. Bianche. Pure. Troppo – a
questo punto stavo inciampando in cose sinistre.
Camminavo per strade più sporche. Capivo meglio le storie.
Lavoravo sottobanco. Mi scontravo con il potere. I rami di
ulivo non sono altro che fasci di bastoni.
The fasces is also everywhere and unnoticed. Since
ancient Rome it has symbolised power and authority.
The rods bound together represent strength in unity.
The bundle is tied with a ribbon and includes an axe,
signifying the legal authority to kill. I had made these
sticks; I decided to make the axe. As I made the handle it
metamorphosed into a goat leg. The devil’s leg.
Anche il fascio è ovunque e passa inosservato. Fin dall’antica
Roma è simbolo di potere e autorità. Le verghe legate insieme
rappresentano la forza nell’unione. Il fastello è legato con un
nastro e contiene una scure, a significare l’autorità legale di
uccidere. Avevo fatto questi bastoni, ho deciso di fare l’ascia.
Mentre facevo il manico, questo si trasformò in una zampa di
capra. La gamba del diavolo.
Doves, olive branches, faggots, fasces, axe, devil’s leg,
hoary old goat.
Colombe, rami di ulivo, fascine, fasci, ascia, gamba del
diavolo, canuto caprone.
Rome.
Roma.
Too many meanings to make sense.
Troppi significati per avere senso.
