Sharing Archive started the research and the production of an hybrid and dinamic project which puts in relation cinema and visual art, inviting international artists to compare themselves with an important portrait of the post war and industrialized Italy, in a social and working clime of change, through the documents of the Archivio Nazionale Cinema Impresa di Ivrea (CIAN).
The artists Beto Shwafaty and the duo Raphaël Cuomo & Maria Iorio has been invited to realize two works after a long period of research and residency in Ivrea, today part of UNESCO heritage for the industrial architecture, which will be presented in an exhibition on 23 November 2019.
To complete the exhibition by il Salone dei 200 in the ex Olivetti Industry, the same day will be organized a thematic conference in Ivrea with international guests in order to reflect on the relationship between the archive, the contemporary history and art, through many international practices and experiences.
The project is realized with the support of Compagnia di San Paolo, in the context of Bando ORA! Produzioni di Cultura Contemporanea.

RAPHAEL CUOMO & MARIA IORIO BIO
Raphaël Cuomo & Maria Iorio
Artistic duo based in Ginevra and Berlin.
In the last years, their collaborative artistic pratice, which has involved the long-term research, has analized the economies of the visibility in relation with the past and present mobility schemes on the southern and northern shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
Their last projects examines the interwoven migration stories and cinema and shows a counter-memory of the "economic miracle". The work body result reunites film, performative moments, collected documents, architectural exhibitions.
Today they are working on "minor decolonial cinema" and unfinished stories like "histories en devenir", issues also addressed through curatorial works of a series of exhibition, projections and conferences who has revisited the historiography of the expanded field of practices related to the moving image.
