On Saturday, Dec. 9, we will exclusively present to the public ‘Split-stream,’ the art project of Chilean-Canadian Rosario Aninat and Simon Shim-Sutcliffe, our latest residents of the year and winners of Open Call 2023.

Rosario Aninat and Simon Shim-Sutcliffe investigated the tangible and intangible qualities of Filanda Antonini and the former factory in front by highlighting the invisible infrastructure serving the agro-industrial landscape of Veneto.

Aninat and Shim-Sutcliffe write:

“Unearthing infrastructures that cross over and dissect, our collaborative approach isolates and spotlights the sculptural roles within these shared systems. We seamlessly weave these functions into a spatial rhythm within the prevailing industrial architecture, amplifying the collective experience etched into the forms and remnants of our global infrastructure. Breaking down the specific site and geography of the warehouse as a compass onto the larger topography of the Veneto with one foot in the mountains and one foot in the water.”

On Saturday, Dec. 9, 3-7 p.m., Rosario Aninat and Simon Shim-Sutcliffe will take you into the spaces of the former factory to show the works developed during their residency. Their interventions, strictly site-specific, are grafted into the landscape formed by the works left by the residents who preceded them: Theo Alexander, Sunette L. Viljoen, Alessandro Cugola, Swinda Oelke, and Lucian Moriyama
