A new space dedicated to creativity has opened its doors in the city. It's called Spazio Holo, a project shared by Droneleader, La Rochelle, Contrast Design, and Giuseppe Ortu: a hub designed to bring together design, photography, filmmaking, and graphic design, while offering new opportunities for the artistic scene in Sardinia and beyond. The inauguration was well-attended, with hundreds of visitors attending the opening, crowding the spaces for the inaugural exhibition "Anarchy," which has been extended until today. The exhibition, curated by copywriter Giovannella Pirina, was born from three international open calls promoted by the Ephemere art gallery in Tokyo, with which the curator and graphic designer Federico Zavatta have long collaborated.
The exhibition features over 400 black-and-white photographs, selected from hundreds of submissions, alongside works by the Spazio Holo art collective. The project has also been held simultaneously in Versailles, Northampton, and Tokyo. The space is intended to be a multipurpose center: graphics, design, photography, a studio, and co-working spaces coexist in a single structure. The creation of a cultural association is also planned soon.
"We felt the need for a space of this size," explains Zavatta, "to create synergies with other creatives and foster dialogue between generations. The goal is to collaborate with existing local organizations and host artistic events of various scales, from exhibitions to performances. The difference with other organizations is probably that, thanks to our professions, we can maintain a sufficiently large space; the idea is to reach out to others by opening ourselves to all possibilities and, if needed, making our entire professional experience available." Meanwhile, after "Anarchy," the program continues: starting April 24th, the protagonist will be Olbia native Gianluca Muscas, with a photography project dedicated to Iceland, featuring extreme landscapes and a perspective.
