Showing at Artissima 2018 and booth awarded /
The Límbica series were exhibited at the 25th anniversary of Artissima in Torino, with Cecilia Brunson Projects in a joined booth with Alejandro Corujeira. This project was selected as one of the winners of the New Entries Fair Fund Award.
The ceramic sculptures were accompanied by the Extremidades photographs that play along with human skin and the textures of the pieces. Publicactions of the artist were also available to the public.
Pizzani was included in the Walkie Talkies held by collector Frances Reynolds and curator Milovan Farronato. This series of talks toured around the fair to explore and discuss selected artworks and Pizzani together with Cecilia Brunson were invited to talk about the works and the booth proposal.

Nuevo País de las Artes es la tercera entrega de la colección Los Rostros Del Futuro, iniciada por el Fondo Editorial Banesco en 2015. Después del primer volumen dedicado a los nuevos talentos musicales y del segundo dedicado a los nuevos escritores, esta tercera entrega corresponde a los nuevos artistas visuales de Venezuela. Los tres volúmenes cuentan con la edición y compilación del escritor Antonio López Ortega. Para la selección de los 25 artistas que se incluyen en Nuevo País de las Artes se conformó un Comité de 20 especialistas entre críticos, curadores, investigadores, museógrafos, museólogos, galeristas y promotores. Cada uno de ellos elaboró su listado particular y, una vez cruzados todos los postulados, se escogieron los artistas que contaran con más menciones o votos. La categoría de jóvenes artistas o artistas emergentes se definió a partir de sus años de nacimiento, entre 1975 y 1990.
De cada uno de los artistas se publica una entrevista en profundidad sobre aspectos de vida y obra, acompañada por una sesión de retratos realizados por fotógrafos reconocidos. Cincuenta profesionales, periodistas y fotógrafos expertos en procesos culturales, son quienes trabajan con estos artistas, y este proceso enriquece el resultado final y consolida un diálogo colectivo donde sobresalen visiones de mundo, perspectivas de dimensión humana, poéticas individuales e importantes lecturas sobre el país. En un proyecto como este la imagen es dominante, y gracias a la curaduría de Pietro Daprano y Carmen Julieta Centeno, el libro contiene, como apéndice, una selección de obras de cada uno de los artistas que remite a variedad, complejidad y belleza.

Talk at Miniclick, Brighton /
On Monday the 27th of March I'll be giving a talk about my photographic work invited by Miniclick, next to Dafna Talmor and Esme Horne.
"Throughout photographic publications, degree shows and exhibitions we are seeing a growing leaning towards the abstract within contemporary photography. Hand in hand with this movement is a growing interest in vintage and analogue techniques, as if practitioners are looking backwards in order to explore new ground with the medium. Dafna Talmor, Lucia Pizzani and Esme Horne all in their own way explore the innovative and experimental techniques that are beginning to shape this field." said the post at the Miniclick website.
Monday 27th April. Doors at 6pm, kicks off at 7pm. Free Entry at The Old Market, Brighton. Free Entry.
