"The Body of Energy" goes to the lagoon between March 30 and April 3. So... after touching the extreme borders of Europe... it leaves the van and uses a boat to cross the channels. It is hosted by Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa, where it interacts with the artists in residence at the Atelier.
The resident artists are Valentina Furian, Enej Gala, Riccardo Giacconi, Francesco Nordio, Davide Sgambaro, Sebastiano Sofia, Valerio Veneruso.

This represents the last stop of the TBOE trip started 6 months before on October 3, 2014 from Bergen (NO).

Studio Visit

For us the Stefano Cagol’s work ‘The Body of Energy’ is
a way to interpret and visualize the meaning of our Studio Programme,
first of all the intensity of artistic activity that can convey fully in the
 studios through meetings, dinners, conversations. Moreover the
Stefano’s work claims: the artist is a body, and especially the artists live
and warm up the studios with their bodies. Only a detail; we do not
see Stefano’s energy, but Stefano is bringing the energy, he is a sort of
conceptual electrician, a sophisticated charge carrier.
Stefano Coletto, curator, Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation

 

Energy is what presupposes everything: movement, creation, change

In his recent work Stefano Cagol shows that energy
is the subject of everything and, now, also of his research. Energy –
through various gradations of heat it produces – becomes visible, it
does matter to our eyes. Artists who Cagol met have touched, have
left visible traces of heat and this formed a rich corpus of images. They
touched their works or have offered the warmth of the moving body.
Cagol recorded this phenomenon showing us that behind every form
of communication there is heat.
