Premio Collective Castello di Rivoli 2025

Premio Collective Castello di Rivoli 2025

We are happy to announce that Adji Dieye (Milan, 1991) is the winner of the second edition of the Collective International Art Award for the Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea. Thanks to the purchase made by Collective Members, the work Culture Lost and Learned by Heart: Butterfly, 2021, becomes part of the Museum’s permanent collection, as a donation.

Adji Dieye was selected by a commission composed of the Director of the Castello Francesco Manacorda, the Deputy Director and Chief Curator Marcella Beccaria and the Curator Marianna Vecellio, starting from a wide range of works created by Italian and international artists proposed by Collective Members. Andro Eradze (Georgia, 1993) and Agnes Questionmark (Rome, 1995) are the other two finalists of the second edition of the Award.

Adji Dieye’s practice develops at the intersection of image, urban spaces and cultural memory. Through the use of archival materials, or those relating to advertising and architecture, the artist investigates how national epistemologies are formed and transformed, questioning the visual and ideological structures that shape collective identity and the sense of belonging to it.

The winning work, Culture Lost and Learned by Heart: Butterfly, 2021, is composed of an iron structure on which is mounted a long silk sheet printed with fragments of images from the National Iconographic Archives of Senegal and the artist’s personal archive. The work reflects on the gestures that have crossed and subverted colonial institutional spaces, through a visual alternation of corporeal and architectural details. In this work, Dieye invites us to question the concept of the archive as a place of symbolic authority, selection and removal, rather than pure conservation.

“The award to Adji Dieye,” Marcella Beccaria and Marianna Vecellio declare, “recognizes the ability of this young artist to look critically at the ways in which the legacy of the past and the construction of memory influence the understanding of the complex present in which we live.”

The work will be visible to the public from September 25, 2025 at the Castello di Rivoli, in conjunction with Inserzioni, a new program curated by Francesco Manacorda focused on new commissions for the Museum.

‘Art that heals’

On March 22, 2025, Santa Maria della Scala hosted the first day of work of the 2025 edition of the exhibition dedicated to healthcare promoted by the Municipality of Siena. The day was dedicated to the analysis and story of how Art is and can be a valid support for Treatment. Through music, painting, theater and other disciplines, in fact, it offers a channel to express emotions and experiences that are difficult to verbalize, helping to process trauma or stress. The dances opened at 9:30 with institutional greetings from Nicoletta Fabio, Mayor of the Municipality of Siena; Giuseppe Giordano, Councilor for Health of the Municipality of Siena and Cristiano Leone, President of the Santa Maria della Scala Museum Complex. The debate, moderated by the journalist of La Nazione Cristina Belvedere, proposed interventions with professionals from all over Italy and Europe: the artistic director of the Teatri di Siena Vincenzo Bocciarelli, the artist Cesare Pietroiusti, Irene Sanesi, co-founder of the Cultural Welfare Center of Turin, Enzo Grossi, coordinator of the Art and Health course at the University of Italian Switzerland in Lugano, Rebecca Russo, Founder and President of the Videoinsight® Foundation, Agnese Pieracci, head of the University Hospital of Siena, Cinzia Leone, famous actress and special guest who brought to the stage the testimony of how important art can be for health and its therapeutic power. Vincenza Ferrara and Paolo Zamboni held an immersive in-depth laboratory at Visual Thinking Strategies, an innovative method that uses cultural heritage as a tool for learning, promotion and social inclusion, improvement of interpersonal relationships, cultural mediation and well-being.

Siena Health General States 2025

The city of Siena confirms its position as a point of reference in the national and international debate on healthcare with the second edition of the Stati Generali della Salute, an initiative promoted by the municipal administration to address the new challenges of the healthcare sector. Three days of meetings, insights and interactive activities led experts, institutions and citizens to reflect on key issues for the well-being of the community. The morning of each day was occupied by conferences and debates, with professionals of national and international calibre, while in the afternoon dedicated activities and initiatives took place. “With this second edition of the Siena Health General States, Siena confirms its role as a protagonist in the debate on healthcare and well-being”, declared the Mayor of Siena, Nicoletta Fabio. “We have chosen three symbolic places in the city to underline the link between history, culture and health, with the aim of building the future of healthcare and services for citizens together”. The Councilor for Health of the Municipality of Siena, Giuseppe Giordano, reiterated the importance of the initiative: “With the States General of Health 2025 we want to renew our commitment to the promotion and protection of health, involving the entire community. Siena has always been a center of research and innovation in the medical and biomedical field, and we intend to enhance this identity through the comparison and sharing of ideas”.

PHOENICIA VIDEOART PRIZE 2017

Phoenicia Video Art Prize 2017

The Phoenicia Hotel Beirut is happy to announce that Rebecca Russo, President of the Videoinsight® Foundation, has selected Mario Daou’s “Northern Lights” video as the Winner for Video Art III: Free Your Mind.
All Art Works will be exhibited in a special Art Show at the Videoinsight® Foundation in Spring 2018.

Following is the conclusion from Rebecca Russo for each video Art Work.

Mario Daou – “Northern Lights” 2017

RR : “It contains a lot of energy, motion, power. The amount of colours is explosive. The artwork shows one shot the Life, the Science, the Art. It transmits happiness, joy, cheerfulness. It is amazing, chromo therapeutic, magic.”

Elie Fahed – “How Does It Feel To Miss Someone” 2017

RR : “It’s a performative work. It touches the soul, activates the reflection, promotes identification, and involves the spectator. It has a rushing rhythm. It’s powerful, gorgeous.”

Loukman Nassredine – “Suppression” 2017

RR : “It’s so psychoanalytic; it deeply represents the memory process, the amnesia, the forgetfulness, the elaboration of the loss, the unconscious removal. It has a very high Videoinsight® Impact; it’s perfect for Art Therapy applying the Videoinsight® Method. Everybody needs to remove something.”

Jeroen Kramer – “Untitled 305” 2017

RR : “It is very poetic, romantic, pictorial, and meditative. The black and white choice is original, the technique is sophisticated.”

Mamad Mossadegh – “The Breeze” 2016

RR : “It’s very delicate, fresh, and light. It promotes the meditation, the relaxation. It raises the pain, opens the hearth, and stimulates the Well-being.”
