My Wedding Date Is My Birthday

"Conversations copyright" in the shadow of the Mole


Chiara Caldara, MAC7 student, says the experience of going through that stage in Turin.


After intense trip from Berlin, I left Trent to move in the fascinating capital of Savoy, and embark on my internship experience at Allemandi Umberto & C. , a leading Italian publishers of books on art and architecture.
flagship of the publishing house is " The Art Newspaper," published for the first time in 1983, one of the first newspapers in the world dedicated exclusively to news of art, conceived as a newspaper, but monthly. In
publishing house I am having a chance to meet with a wealth of interesting "conversations copyright" dating back to the seventies, it is, in fact, an archive of audio recordings on audio cassettes containing interviews that President Allemandi, then director of magazine Bolaffiarte, addressed the major Italian and international artists of the twentieth century. Part of
these interviews were published in the monthly "Bolaffiarte" since 1970, accompanied by a reproduction of a work created specifically cover every artist that you reported in the interview file.
From 1970 to 1981 the magazine became so original promoter of an initiative involving more than one hundred artists to illustrate the unique insight to the artists of the cover of the magazine contributed to the popularization of contemporary artistic culture.
Many of these painters and sculptors were already famous and popular at the time as Beuys, Dali, Manzù , others, young and talented, they were taking its first steps into the world of painting and sculpture of the 900, already gaining the interest of the critics.
Four decades later, the unique opportunity to hear the vivid voices of artists directly involved in the art of the twentieth century, makes this stock is particularly valuable and interesting.
conserve, enhance and make accessible the archival material is so delicate a unique opportunity for cultural growth and at the same time a challenge in these hot months in Turin ...
