✨🎧✨ I'm so excited to introduce our next guest on the 'Extraordinary Creatives' Podcast! This week it’s my pleasure to introduce you to my guest Alessio Antoniolli @alessio_antoniolli the director of Triangle Network @trianglenetwork , where he develops a programme of artists and curator’s residencies across a world-wide network of visual arts organisations. He’s also the curator at Fondazione Memmo, Rome @fondazionememmo commissioning a yearly exhibition by international artists, including Sin Wai Kin and more recently, Wynnie Minerva. Alessio is the former director of Gasworks @gasworkslondon a non-profit visual art gallery and studios space in London, where he led a programme of residencies for over 500 artists from 80 countries around the world. He’s been part of many international juries including the UK’s Turner Prize in 2019. I hope you enjoy Alessio’s honesty and enthusiasm as much as I did. I love Alessio’s reflection that it all starts inside of you. Alessio’s journey is driven by an insatiable curiosity, not just to learn, but to discover something about himself within these creative spaces. 👂Listen 🔗 in bio. 📸 pictures of Gasworks by @danweillphotography #CeriHandCreativeCoach #ExtraodinaryCreativesPodcasts #CreativityPodcast #CreativityTips #Creatives

🇳🇿Introducing Shiraz Sadikeen (@shiraz.zz ) from New Zealand 🇳🇿who will be undertaking a residency at Gasworks from 30 September - 16 December 2024! Shiraz Sadikeen makes paintings and sculptures that mediate their own conditions of production and reception. Often made using ready-made or found materials, as well as various processes of abstraction and formal displacement, Shiraz’s work explores the associations between these objects and the situations from which they originally derive. During his residency at Gasworks, Shiraz will research the current political, economic and ideological circumstances of the United Kingdom, reflecting on its changing relationship to Aotearoa New Zealand. Shiraz Sadikeen’s residency is supported by the Jan Warburton Charitable Trust, private individuals who contribute to New Zealand Friends of Gasworks, the British Council Aotearoa New Zealand (@nzpacificbritish ) and the Pacific and Emma Lewisham (@emmalewisham ) and is organised in partnership with Stephanie Post. We look forward to welcoming Shiraz in September! Find out more about his practice through the link in our bio. @jewarb @britishcouncil @brit_visualarts @coastal_signs_ @treadler_gal
