Add Fire. Furla Prize 2013
Chiara Fumai, winner of the ninth edition of the Furla Prize,at the Fondazione Querini Stampalia in Venicewith I did not Say or Mean ‘Warning’
Wednesday 29 May - Sunday 30 June 2013 2013 – Chiara Fumai, winner of the ninth edition of the Furla Prize, presents I did not Say or Mean ‘Warning’’ at the FondazioneQuerini Stampalia, in conjunction with the 55th Biennial of Visual Arts in Venice.Curated by Stefano Collicelli Cagol, Chiara Fumai's piece is the result of a reworking of the project for which the artist was awardedthe 2013 Furla Prize in January.
Created and curated by Chiara Bertola, the Furla Prize is a biennial recognition of excellence in contemporary art dedicated to youngand upcoming Italian talent, organised and sponsored by Fondazione Furla, Fondazione Carisbo, Fondazione Querini Stampalia,MAMbo - The Museum of Modern Art of Bologna, supported by Carisbo S.p.A. and in collaboration with Arte Fiera and Viafarini.The Award aims to support the best artistic achievements in our country, through the monitoring, selection, training of artists andproduction of new works, and has managed to establish itself as an international showcase for emerging creativity.The work of Chiara Fumai I Did not Say or Mean 'Warning' recreates the winning project by relating it to the spaces within theFondazione Querini Stampalia, thus giving rise to a site-specific project. The work is divided into two, complementary parts, located indifferent areas of the Foundation: a performance taking place among the museum's collections and a video-performance shown on anumber of plasma screens placed in communal areas like the cafeteria or foyer. In both of these parts, available throughout wholeduration of the exhibition, Chiara Fumai re-engages with the struggle against the image of the woman as eternally passive andmarginal. During a guided tour, the artist shows the public a number of works that are kept in the museum-house, with, in addition tothe main body of the guided tour, a message, delivered in sign language, addressing the absence of the feminine subject in historyand its possible consequences. The origin of the text that will be performed comes from an anonymous message found on theanswering machine of a feminist group that participated in the Armed Struggle.
The work aims to explore the very limits of performance, as underlined by the title, which rejects, but at the same time compels,attention - I Did not Say or Mean ‘Warning' - and follows on from a reflection by Fumai on the subject of language and the fragmentationof identity.The work will be accompanied by critical and literary essays by Stefano Collicelli Cagol and Francesco Urbano Ragazzi.
The public presentation of the winning work, funded entirely by Fondazione Furla, marks the final phase of the ninth edition of the Furla Prize, which began last November with the announcement of the shortlist of five finalists and continued with the exhibition of the finalists in Bologna, in the picturesque setting of the former Ospedale degli Innocenti.
An international jury made up of Galit Eilat (President of the Akademie der Künste der Welt, Cologne, and Researcher and Curator at the Van Abbe Museum, Eindhoven), Marina Fokidis (Founding Director of Kunsthalle Athena), John Peter Nilsson (Director of Moderna Museet Malmö), Chiara Parisi (Director of the cultural programs at the Monnaie de Paris), Dirk Snauwaert (Director of WIELS Contemporary Art Centre, Brussels) assessed the projects and the artists exhibited singling out Chiara Fumai as the winner, giving the following reason: "The energy of the artist, the extraordinary commitment that emerges from her work, the choice of extremely topical issues at the centre of both contemporary artistic reflection and the society of our time, such as feminism, performative discourse and activism. The research work and the deep conviction with which she tackles these issues, the roots of which are found in early feminism and conceptual performance but at the same time reinventing them in a perspective of continuity. And the ability to establish a dialectic of confrontation that led the jury to award the prize to this artist".
Stefano Collicelli Cagol and Bart van der Heide, the two curators who chose the artist to take part in the Furla Prize 2013 explained that "Fumai's work celebrates the ambiguity and vagueness of the human condition, pulled between contradictions and violent passions. Her performances and installations create alienating scenarios that emerge through a reflection of writings about political dissent, issues of gender, anarchist feminism, paranormal phenomena, amongmany others. In these settings, Fumai discusses, shouts rants and raves as she brings her multiple personalities to life to stand up for people from the past (for example Annie Jones, the bearded lady; the magician Houdini; Rosa Luxemburg) wjo are evoked in the artist's body and interact with the audience. Rather than proposing solid and comforting certainties, Fumai constantly displaces her audience, inviting them to expand their imagination and, with that, knowledge itself".
The work of Chiara Fumai I Did not Say or Mean 'Warning' will be exhibited at the Fondazione Querini Stampalia from 29 May to 30 June 2013. Following the Venetian exhibition the work will be loan to MAMbo - the Museum of Modern Art of Bologna.
As with previous editions, the winner of the Furla Prize will have the opportunity to study and work abroad, thanks to an involvement in the artist residency project, which this year will take place at the WIELS Contemporary Art Centre in Brussels. Management of the residence programme is entrusted to Viafarini, a centre for the documentation of contemporary art that, since its fifth year, has been collating the general archive of the Furla Prize and helps with the hosting of foreign curators thanks to the Milanese residency program VIR Viafarini Milan VIR-in-residence.
The bilingual catalogue (Italian / English) of the ninth edition of the Furla Prize, published by Mousse Publishing, features the work and the artistic research of the five finalists and documents the journey and the path into the world of Italian creativity taken for the Furla Prize, an award that aims to support the best of our country's artistic achievements.
Established as an annual event in 2000 at the Fondazione Querini Stampalia in Venice, over the years the Furla Prize has developed, renewing and expanding what it does. Since 2003, the biennial award has served as recognition of the breadth and effectiveness of monitoring the emerging creativity in our country, thus ensuring that this is passed on down the generations. The scientific rigor of the event, the curatorial support for training and production of new works, come together with an efficient international network of contacts with art critics, curators, museum directors and prestigious centres of art that today truly make it a crucial event in the growth of young Italian artists.

ADD FIRE – Jimmie Durham
By Chiara Bertola, curator and creator of the Premio Furla Award
Add Fire is the title – beautiful and destructive – that Jimmie Durham has dedicated to the ninth edition of the 2013 Premio Furla. In thinking about fire, countlessimages and metaphors immediately come to mind. The associations with this basic element are so numerous and so easy that it becomes paradoxical and difficult to put into words: fire that purifies, fire that brings light, the phoenix rising from its own ashes, the burning fire of passion, the initial fire of the BigBang, the glow of volcanic lava, the lighting of bombs, fires and torches, the flame of a candle...
Jimmie Durham invites the award’s artists to gravitate towards one of the richest and most contradictory symbols of humanity: aiming for something new – for discovery and progress – it is unable to truly dominate with reason andscience, the deepest and most elusive forces of nature. But we all know how much artists have always loved playing with fire. Add Fire echoes the need to start anew and wipe clean, characteristics of the Futurist years prior to the First World War. It recalls, as well, the informal research following the war, inspiring as both a vital force and a new means of technology: it is the flame that burns everything and becomes a fire; yet, it is also the flame that leaves traces of creation, from Klein’s"Monochrome", Burri’scombustion, Cage’s silence, all the way to the total re-establishment of the Sixties and Seventies... I am thinking about Gruppo Zero and their way of resetting everything to escape the currentsystem of common language and recognised forms. It is perhaps here that we find something belonging to the Add Fireproposed by Durham,something belonging to the urgencystill felt today – the urgent need to carry out that which doesnot end in the creation of a work, but rather generates a flow of meaning able to spread beyond the work that has been done, re-emerging from the ashes, from the blackened fragments, from the darkness of the soot. Because, today, we long for the birth ofsomething new. And rebirth can come from fire.
Perhaps, then, this is the profound, positive meaning inherent in that string of words, Add Fire, proposed by one of the most critical and caustic artists of the contemporary scene. With the flame of irony, he has turned centuries ofpresumption and Western colonialviolence into ashes.
But doesn’t playing with fire ultimately mean playing with the origin of life?

The Residency
WIELS Contemporary Art Centre, Brussels
As one of the leading institutions for contemporary art in Belgium, and one without a permanent collection, WIELS Contemporary Art Centre focuses on presenting temporary exhibitions by national and international artists, both emerging and more established. In addition to regular exhibitions, WIELS houses nine residencies for young artists and an active education programme, all of which is housed in a former beer brewery (hence the name WIELS, short for the Wielman Ceuppen’s beer) originally designed in 1931 by Belgian architect Adrien Blomme, now a restored and historically classified building. Its vast former brewing hall entrance area (housing a café, bookshop, and ticketing booth alongside the brewery’s restored copper vats), gives way to WIELS’ main exhibition spaces – spread over four floors, their post-industrial scale and details gives a particular character to these display spaces.
In the relatively short time since its opening as a centre for contemporary art in 2008, WIELS has proven its importance both nationally and internationally, playing a leading role in the production and presentation of a large number of ambitious exhibitions and art projects. WIELS has organised major exhibitions for such influential artists as Mike Kelley, Yayoi Kusama, Luc Tuymans, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Ann Veronica Janssens, Rosemarie Trockel, and Francis Alÿs, as well as a younger generation of artists including Bruno Serralongue, Andro Wekua, Melvin Moti, Yto Barrada, Sven Augustijnen, and Wangenchi Mutu, among others. WIELS also frequently collaborates with institutions abroad, including, most recently, Tate Modern in London, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, Fondation Beyeler in Basel, Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt, and Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw.
