RESCUE project! is a collective that was born, in 2019, to experiment with different formats that allow the existence of an encounter.
What defines our actions is the sharing of intimate and quality acts in places where artistic and human expression appears to be a problem. The group bases its artistic practice on the transformative potential of art in the territory in which it operates. More specifically, the research questions the “quality of an authentic encounter”, a place where everyone can find value for themselves and for the community.
The project elaborates his thinking during the confinement of 2020: going to the street, walking and exploring the transformative abilities of art in human relationships was an important step to reconnect with the public space by starting a reflection on presence and encounter.
With our projects we seek a different way of being in contact with the territory and the community through a Territorial Artist capable of paying attention to what seems to no longer be of importance, capable of redeeming by restoring value to the encounter, especially that between cultures, between artists and citizens. We do not turn to real spectators but to "participants" to whom we ask for a level of human compromise and a out of the ordinary.
HISTORY
FIRST STONE OF THE PROJECT a performance: "La Rotta del Cibo" - created by the actor and musician Vicente Cabrera together with the Ass. Eco dalle Città (RePoPP) - Association that since 2017 has given life to the project against food waste and the recovery-enhancement-distribution of surplus food in Turin in the Porta Palazzo market. The performance borrows the values of RePoPP to develop an artistic methodology against “experiential waste”.
Over time, in 2020 thanks to the meeting between Vicente Cabrera and other artists, like him who immigrated to the city of Turin, the RESCUE! it becomes more ambitious by becoming a mutual support network between artists and between urban realities. RESCUE! it is a space where you can find practical answers about waste and redemption thanks to art and its discipline.
"Search, collect, distinguish, arrange, donate".
"The word recovery - rescue also means redemption, unsold fruit and vegetables but also stories, songs, tales of the people who work encouraging an eco-friendly artistic exchange. "
