The Premio Lorenzo Bonaldi per l’Arte – EnterPrize, organized by the GAMeC – Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Bergamo in commemoration of Lorenzo Bonaldi’s passion for art and collecting.
is awarded for the exhibition project NO MANIFESTO submitted by ANDREA VILIANI.
Last April, 27 the jury comprised by:
Francesco Bonami – Manilow Senior Curator, Museum of Contemporary Art of Chicago
Lóránd Hegyi – Director of Musée d’Art Moderne de Saint-Etienne
Giacinto Di Pietrantonio – Director of GAMeC of Bergamo
Gave the prize to ANDREA VILIANI and his project NO MANIFESTO for the following reason:
In consideration of the theoretical value of the exhibition proposal, the curator’s capability to shape it also practically, the conceptual complexity of the project and its formal structure, rooted in a deep dialogue with the artists themselves, the jury recognizes the need that ANDREA VILIANI felt to establish a dialogue between the works of art and exhibition space itself, and his will to commission the catalogue to two artists and an educational project to another artist not represented in the show.

Thomas Boutoux, Paris nominated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Paris
Giovanni Carmine, Zurich nominated by Bice Curiger, Parkett Magazine, Zurich
