Bio + CV

progettozero+ is an artists/curators group founded in 2001.

Through our projects we reflect on issues related to public, socio-political and relational modalities, operating with people, communities and other artists.

We mostly work in the field of Public and Social Art, dealing with the complexity of everyday life, trying to find solutions, to pose questions and to look for different ways of social and political interaction.

The mainframe is the attention payed to human relations, to the concept of public, and to the political and social role of artist and curator.

We work as artists, curators, art producers, musicians, without any distinction and adapting languages to context and audience specificity.
