#2 Creating Opportunities
Four young writers talking about writing's timetables and scoreboards.
WHEN DO YOU WRITE, IN YOUR DAILY LIFE? DO YOU CUT OUT A FIXED PERIOD OR DOES WRITING END UP MERGING WITH YOUR DAILY ACTIVITIES?
Davide Longo - I'm a teacher and during the school year I write very little, a couple of novels at the most, something for the radio, I help out ...

#0 Experimentation and innovation
In Coppola's Apocalypse Now, when searching the jungle for the maverick commander Kurts, the man sent to hunt him down describes a brilliant mission Kurtz had led, "He just thought it up and did it. They were going to get him framed to the floorboards for that one until the press got hold it and promoted him to Colonel."
The spirit of creative b...

#27 The Culture of Listening
Silence creates room for the mind, and the mind can create visions. Yoko Ono described how the hypnotic effect of a flame would help to do this: “You could tell someone to look into the fire for 10 days just to create a vision in someone’s mind” she write in her first, epic work, a book of instructions for performances entitled Grapefruit (a ...

#20 Home Made
When it comes to the business world, I am absolutely convinced that the kind of creativity that leads to real innovation can only develop “in house” – in other words the place where all the input from day-to-day relations with clients and products is received and digested. To paraphrase the Chinese saying ”Listen and forget, see and remembe...

#20 Home Made
Your work shows your clear preference for the “manual” dimension, which we could express with the term “home made” – is this the result of a strong desire to rediscover your roots?
It is part of our background, connected to the place where we were born. We have never abandoned our roots. Although we work in São Paulo, Humberto and I ha...

#26 Re-Evaluate The Error
Here then is yet another new word, “innovage”, born of the marriage of “innovation” and “vintage”.
It’s really not all that surprising that so many new words are being thrown up every day. “The times they are a-changin’”, as the song goes, and in a really big way, be it in environmental, social, economic, or cultural terms. P...

#13 Conscious project
You were involved in the "50th Biennale" in Venice; in your opinion, what relevance and meaning do such events have in developing a new awareness/sensibility in the audience?
I think that it is essential that events like this exist; they give some kind of overview on what is happening in art at the moment. We might like one biennale better than t...

#10 Nomadic knowledge
How much, do you feel, does literature contribute to the diffusion of knowledge?
In so far as they represent possible ways of living, mirrors in which to view ourselves, yardsticks that can help us in making choices and taking decisions, works of literature contribute to disseminating knowledge. The make-believe world of literature suggests that ...

#21 Senti-mentally
In front a cup of coffee.
For me, the expression of emotion is never calculated.
I’ll wager that emotion is always there if the work is motivated by pleasure and desire. Since I often have too many ideas or desires, I usually start each project with endless lists, which I then cut into little strips and arrange in order of preference to make ...

#24 Self Portrait
In front of a coup of coffee
“When I saw myself, I wasn’t there”, hissed the poets (funambulists) of the art, our art, when age-old conventional forms were suddenly torn asunder by concepts. That was indeed the time when art practices were centred on the conceptual (by way of example see a square metre of felt under the entry “Vincenzo A...
