Congratulations to Etel Adnan who has been awarded this prize for “Time”, published by Night Boat Books and translated from French by Sarah Riggs. As well as being a successful artist, Etel Adnan is an accomplished writer, and in this collection of poems, each poem acts as a small measure of time, a moment in which the author presents us with a continuous discovery of the present. 

Keep Calm and CONTINUA! This is a message from some of our Italian staff during these long months of quarantine. In this time of separation, we have been united with each other and with our friends, visitors, collectors and artists, thank you all for your support. 

Good news! From 19th May 2020, Galleria Continua San Gimignano will be open by appointment only, respecting health regulations. From the same day, 19th May 2020, Galleria Continua Roma will be open, respecting health regulations, 4pm - 7pm Tuesday - Saturday as well as by appointment.

We have missed having you around and we can’t wait to see you again!

Zhanna Kadyrova presents her works at La 58° Biennale di Venezia “May You Live In Interesting Times”.

Get to know our artists’ biggest and best projects with exclusive content from Galleria Continua and the artists themselves. By entering into a large art installation, you enter into another world. 

The 2nd edition of Continua XXL Online presents Zhanna Kadyrova and her works “Market” 2017 – 2019 and “Second Hand” 2014 – 2019. Both are projects that have spanned a number of years; in this instance, we explore them in the context of the 58th Venice Biennale “May You Live In Interesting Times”.

“Market” saw the produce of a typical street market made from stone, cement and tiles displayed in the Arsenale section of the Biennale, provoking thought around the notion of art as a tradeable commodity. “Second Hand” held in the central pavilion of the show, is a work that according to its place and circumstance changes aesthetic. Kadyrova used tiles repurposed from a Venetian hotel to make her clothes and linens, some of which, in the typical Venetian style, were hung outside.

VISIT VIEWING ROOM

The support and participation of Galleria Continua and Associazione Arte Continua in initiatives taken by the countries in which we are present or where the emergency is more serious does not stop. In support of the Pascale Institute of Naples, thanks to the donations of the works of Antony Gormley, Ornaghi & Prestinari and Giovanni Ozzola, we joined the auction organized by Blindarte ART TO STOP COVID-19. The Art to Stop Covid-19 online auction, available on the website www.blindarte.com, will be open for the entire emergency period.

#fermiamoloinsieme

In thirty years of activity, Galleria Continua and Associazione Arte Continua, both in the international art world and in the local communities where they found themselves operating, have established real relationships and friendships that, now more than ever, in this moment of international emergency, could not be more needed.

KADER ATTIA, SHILPA GUPTA

Digital museum Collecteurs, which provides a platform for private collectors to share their artwork online, has published its list of the top 100 artists and activists making global change Substance 100. 

Focussing on the power of change, instead of power itself, Substance 100 is neither exclusive nor concerned with rank. Celebrating the world’s most conscientious individuals and collectives, the list challenges pre-existing models, enacting social, environmental and political change. Galleria Continua Artists Shilpa Gupta and Kader Attia have made the list, admired for their creative integrity, ingenuity, voice and perspective.
