The Ascension of Uli Schwarz
Monai de Paula Antunes
The Ascension of Uli Schwarz
The installation that Monai de Paula Antunes’ presented it was a sound and radio piece, and an installation – developed in collaboration with Niko De Paula Lefort -, that weaved together personal stories and utterances, and that conversed with her social media performance The Ascension of Uli Schwarz. The piece was composed with transmitters, receivers, and copper threads or filaments, and while moving across the room we could perceive it as an unstable sound architecture.

Villa Romana Collection

The publication of the winners of the Villa Romana Prize has taken the shape of four distinct yet interrelated booklets – an editorial series continuing the tradition of the institution to offer a space for the dissemination and reverberation of the research and work of the Villa Romana Fellows after their ten-months residency in Florence.
Each year, four selected artists are invited to live and work in the same house that, since 1905, generations of artists have continuously inhabited. They always come as a group – a constellation of four people – but all as singular artists. The opportunity of yearly publishing their work in a bundle of four separate books and within an open series allows for a larger combination of echoes across the generations of Villa Romana Fellows. A further occasion for “being singular plural.”
