I’ll spare you the]]> As you have probably noticed from the change in the graphic on the side bar –> and the poster on the general project page, next up for the traveling exhibition is the city of Geneva.
I’ll spare you the “going back to the roots” inner dialogue, as I have studied and worked in Geneva, and I’ll go directly to the practical information about the exhibition.

I will personally be there during the seven days of the show, from the 12th to the 19th in the hall of the University of Geneva, Uni-Mail building.
The building is closed on Sundays, it’s open Mondays to Fridays from 7h30 to 23h00 and from 7h30 to 17h30 on Saturdays.
The vernissage will be held on Saturday the 12th, from 16h00 to 18h00. The fixed hours are due to the special nature of the building: being a university, we only have limited margin of maneuver.
Also, please note that the on the last day, Saturday the 19th, the exhibition will only be visible until 10 am as I have to catch a train in the early afternoon.

Notwithstanding the technicalities, I am very excited to bring the photographs to Geneva, to hear and see some feedback and most of all, to meet the visitors. Drinks and snacks will be available the night of the vernissage, so don’t miss the opportunity.

While the exhibition is Naples carries on, I am working for the next one, which will be held in Geneva from the 12th to the 19th of June. In the meantime, however, other videos of the vernissage are surfacing and, piece by piece, I am posting them on here.
This one is from the last five minutes of the vernissage (audio in Italian – subtitles/translation coming soon):

The journalist who shot the videos, Francesca Ferrara, also wrote an article on the project: “Internet, Politica, Informazione, Giornalismo e Precariato #6 – “Structurally recyclable, basically disposable – Il lavoro in Europa ai tempi dello stage, la mostra di Elisabetta Lombardo che racconta il precariato”

The exhibition, as you know, is currently in Naples and the great thing about this is the way in which the space has been organized. “Structurally recyclable, basically disposable” is a special exhibition in that it is a traveling one and being composed of two installations, it is not always easy to adapt the space to the work that is being shown.
What we have achieved in the bookstore Archeologiattiva is very special, I think.
Basically, the pictures hang from the ceiling, which adds a 3D-like quality to the entire show. As you walk inside the bookstore under the first installation, the cut portraits hang above you.

General view

On the left side hangs the second part of the exhibition, the one with the full portraits and the texts.

Installation 2

All in all, this has been a great experience on how to use the space for the exhibition.
Once again, thank you all for coming, for the great debate the night of the vernissage, and for your response, which leads me to think that even though this project has been a long and solitary work, it has been worth it.
I remind you, the exhibition is in Naples until the 31st of May.

It’s been a long and full week here in Italy. I am currently writing from a beautiful library downtown Turin to give you some updates on the exhibition that is to see in Naples until the 31st in the bookstore Archeologiattiva, and on the vernissage that was held on the 10th of May.

The vernissage has been a great event, especially due to the presence of Raffaella R. Ferré, who read from her latest work, a short story published in the collection “Qui si chiama fatica” and of two representatives of the group “Coordinamento giornalisti precari Campania” who talked about their work, namely Ciro Pellegrino and Guiseppe Manzo. By the way, if you are in Naples you HAVE to go to their next meeting, which will be held this Friday in the Ubik bookstore downtown Naples. They will present the latest result of a long research about those shameful “short” and expensive courses that will make you into a journalist in a flash.

Anyway, within the already great media coverage, here is a small preview of the vernissage, specifically the intervention of the aforementioned group.

More videos will come soon.

Also, here is the interview I gave to Radio Popolare on the 11th of May, for those who could not tune in at the time (the interview starts at 3:01 of the recording).

The segment is part of a larger series called “Work in progress“, which explores “developing trends in how we work”.

You can listen to it at 8:30 a.m. (9:00 NT) on CBC Radio One and on Sirus Satellite 137, and for those outside Canada, there will probably be a podcast available on the website after the show.

Among the interesting things that have happened.
I was interviewed by journalist Marco Patruno, author of the blog Generazione P. Here you can go and read the interview, which is in Italian, in case you are wondering.

I received my price for being among the winners of the contest “Zoom human rights” (the website does not seem to function properly), a photo contest initiated in occasion of the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The price consisted in 100 postcards with the photo I had submitted. The photo titled “Die Schale (Bangladesh)” was indeed taken in Bangladesh and was submitted in the concept category as representing the right to food.

Otherwise, I am working on the project, trying to wrap up the budget to eventually start the full active phase.
It’s rainy in Berlin, I have a splitting headache and I wish all of those who are reading a very sunny week.

This week, Marco Patruno, from the very rich and very interesting Generazione P blog dedicated a blog post (in Italian) to my project.

Marco Patruno often conducts some very interesting interviews with artists, writers, bloggers, film-makers, etc, who have dealt in some way with the issue of precarious work in Italy. Among them are: Federico Rizzo, the director of “Fuga dal call-center” (I also suggest you take the time to listen to the interview to Mr. Rizzo conducted by Showfarm, with some questions from Luce StRagista); Raffaella Ferrè, journalist and blogger author of the book “Santa Precaria“, and more.

In my answers, I explained the reasons for the title “Structurally recyclable, basically disposable” and I gave some insights about the ultimate aim of the project, that is to think about the phenomenon of internships as a social issue, launching questions such as why we play this game of “sacrificing ourselves for the hope of a future” to the extremes, accepting to work for free.
I also mentioned that my project is currently being supported by the local organization “Neuropolis“, that will help me organize the exhibition and the search for funds.
La Repubblica degli stagisti is a web-magazine, born out of a very successful blog and it aims at discussing internships in Italy from all points of view giving a voice to interns.
