I work at the point where something stops coinciding with itself. A gesture that does not arrive, an object that does not stay where it is placed, a time that opens and does not close.
Actions, materials and relations create situations in which reality begins to crack without completely breaking. What emerges cannot be fixed: fragments, unstable traces of something that escapes and keeps shifting.
The body moves through this gap. It holds, loses, exceeds.
The present settles as a memory that does not coincide with what has happened.
The work remains there, on that threshold, where something persists, but never fully comes back together.
EUGENIA INGEGNO
My name is Eugenia Ingegno, I’m a mixed media artist and founder of CURA, a project dedicated to creating shared spaces for artistic practice.
I trained in contemporary jewellery at Alchimia – International School of Contemporary Jewellery in Florence. Over time, my research has progressively opened up to different languages: object, image, performance, and relational practices, while consistently maintaining a focus on working with materials and on the creative process as a space for inquiry.
Since 2009, I have exhibited my work in international exhibitions and projects, while at the same time cultivating a growing interest in the collective dimension of artistic practice. This led me to create and direct several independent spaces and projects dedicated to artistic experimentation and the sharing of creative processes, including 1x1 collective, Movimiento Casa48 in Panama City, and later CURA.
Alongside my artistic research, I have also worked on educational and social projects, engaging with adults, children and communities across different contexts, from Europe to Latin America, exploring art as a tool for expression, relationship, and transformation.
In recent years, I have deepened my exploration of the relationship between art and processes of care. I am currently training as a clinical art therapist with a psychodynamic orientation at Art Therapy Italiana, integrating my artistic experience with a clinical perspective on the creative process.
