For Guadalupe Maravilla, optimism is the first medicine 

<p>More recently, Maravilla gave his USD 100,000 Art for Justice grant to the church; ‘every cent went to the community.’ These efforts grow the microeconomies the artist instigates, as if tending sown seeds. That philosophy infused his largest <em>tripa chuca</em> to date created for his 2021 show at Socrates Sculpture Park, New York. Using water-soluble paint, Maravilla and a fellow cancer survivor drew ephemeral lines within a circle of medicinal plants and vital crops for Indigenous communities in the Americas. Watching over the garden was <em>Disease Thrower #13</em> and <em>#14</em> (both 2021), each featuring a gong held by forms made from recycled aluminum and stainless steel tubing, evoking landmasses created when tectonic plates shift and volcanoes erupt – a rebirth after upheaval.</p>
<p>That idea of continuity explains why the creation of a temple, whose design he’s already envisioned, has long been Maravilla’s intention. ‘It’s about building the structure,’ he says; a form that perpetuates the practice beyond him. That goal has since manifested as <em>Mariposa Relámpago, </em>a school bus transformed into the world’s largest vibrational healing instrument – what Maravilla calls ‘the first temple’ – for his ICA Watershed show opening in Boston this May. Initially, the idea was to transport a bus bought in El Salvador along Maravilla’s migration route from Mexico City, where local technicians and artisans would help transform it, to the US. But when it transpired that the bus was stolen in America by a Chinese company and resold to El Salvador – ‘It was under FBI investigation’ – Maravilla bought another one in Mexico and had cardboard miniatures take the journey instead. </p>

<p>「人們通常視意大利為古代藝術、美食和風景的所在地，但米蘭是一個現代主義城市，雲集包括Gio Ponti的偉大設計師，而這裡在藝術上也有著同樣的態度。2022年與Chiara Repetto共同創辦<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/gallery/1170/kaufmann-repetto">kaufmann repetto</a>藝廊的Francesca Kaufmann解釋道：「這是一座當代之城。」位於遠離街道的庭院中，kaufmann repetto藝廊正有一場野心之作，展覽包括<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/artist/7779/Latifa-Echakhch"><strong>Latifa Echakhch</strong></a>，<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/artist/23219/Simone-Fattal"><strong>Simone Fattal</strong></a>和Corita Kent等藝術家。他們的作品將在米蘭國際家具展和第27屆miart藝術展會（4月14日至16日舉行）開幕前連續展出。新興藝廊同樣取得進展：成立於2011年的Galleria Federico Vavassori專注於培養和展示意大利人才，另外也包括一些國際藝術家。目前，Vavassori正單獨展出都靈資深藝術家<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/artist/8313/Gianni-Piacentino"><strong>Gianni Piacentino</strong></a>的「Trans-Chrome」雕塑系列（2017年至今）。</p>
