The essay analyses the exhibition “Bisca Vascalleri”, by the Italian artist Nico Vascellari, held in Rome during Winter 2018 that will be re-launched in an itinerant format in 2019. A Roman project space run by laria Marotta and Andrea Baccin (Cura Basement) has been transformed for a month into a gambling house, where people can participate in games invented by the artist, testing one’s skills, imagination, willing to take risks and, generally, try one’s luck. With a few chips and limited expenditure, all gamblers have a chance to win a work by Vascellari. The “Bisca” has triggered both amusement and reflections on the topics of gambling, participatory creativity, alternative art markets and the value of original artwork

Abstract
The essay analyses the exhibition “Bisca Vascalleri”, by the Italian artist Nico Vascellari, held in Rome during Winter 2018 that will be re-launched in an itinerant format in 2019. A Roman project space run by laria Marotta and Andrea Baccin (Cura Basement) has been transformed for a month into a gambling house, where people can participate in games invented by the artist, testing one’s skills, imagination, willing to take risks and, generally, try one’s luck. With a few chips and limited expenditure, all gamblers have a chance to win a work by Vascellari. The “Bisca” has triggered both amusement and reflections on the topics of gambling, participatory creativity, alternative art markets and the value of original artworkFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
