TAM
Temporary Art Manto
short exhibitions in found spaces
Annarosa Buttarelli and Donata Negrini, with the advice of Lucio Pozzi and in co-prodaction with Fondazione Palazzo Te, display art every so often, suddenly, for brief moments and in varied sites, even art spaces.
These are exhibitions or events, things done by people we come to know, whom we ask to do something: friends, family, acquaintances, ourselves and especially many others. They are things to see, but then it also happens that there is stuff to read or listen to or touch or taste or smell.
Mantova is not only an ideal center for reticent yet public action but it is also a mental place that may sprout elsewhere. It all starts from Mantova, but then TAM may happen anywhere: Lodz, Ulan Bator, Bamako, Paris, Asuncion, even Mantova.
Our events take place when they occur. They are announced by word of mouth or by email. Normally they last a couple of hours or a bit less. Rather than being linked to a program, the sense of this endeavor generates its meaning while it happens.
(Manto is the mythical priestess founder of Mantova.)
MATtam. An informal series of very short moments of art or other stuff for an open and live exchange of ideas and inventions.
TAM's are realized in co-production with:

WHO WE ARE
Principals
Lucio Pozzi was born in 1935 in Milan, Italy. After living a few years in Rome, where he studied architecture, he came to the United States in 1962, as a guest of the Harvard International Summer Seminar. He then settled in New York and took the US citizenship. After a while, his art began to be seen in the US and abroad in galleries such as Bykert, John Weber, Gianenzo Sperone, Yvon Lambert, Leo Castelli. He currently lives and works in Hudson, NY, and Valeggio s/M (Verona) Italy. Pozzi is a painter who likes to paint and pursue his painterly concerns in other media as well.
