The Blank Kitchen was born with the desire to host in the city of Bergamo some of the most interesting emerging artists on the international stage, in connection with art lovers and curious through a cross-cutting and unifying tool such as food and cooking. The project includes a series of appointments hosted at the Association’s office or in other locations, during which an artist is called to create and cook a menu for the guests. Since 2014, cooking appointments have been enriched with a micro-publishing project, Chef. For each dinner a limited edition fanzine is published, numbered and signed by the artist. ATP diary, online magazine published both in Italian and English, is the media partner of this project.
Three appointments took place in collaboration with BFM – Bergamo Film Meeting: three film directors – Regina Pessoa, Valentin Hotea and Giacomo Abruzzese – were involved as lead of the events.
The goal is to cancel the distance that people imagine between artists and audience and to expand abroad, including the support to Bergamo European Capital of Culture 2019, the image of a city full of connections and exchanges. The act of cooking is one of the most direct and simple way to break the barriers, putting the artist in the service of his guests will be more interesting to create a conversation and deepen its work.
On Friday 24 January 2019 The Blank proposes The Blank Kitchen | Irene Fenara – Tea and biscuits, a culinary event organized on the occasion of Bologna Art Week in Irene Fenara’s studio in Bologna.
The Blank Kitchen was born with the desire to bring some of the most interesting artists of the international scene in relation with art lovers and the curious through a transversal and convivial tool such as food and cooking.
Born in Bologna in 1990, Irene Fenara is an Italian artist who works mainly with video installation and photographic experimentation, focusing on interaction with surveillance cameras. Her research investigates the concept of time and memory, working with images that overturn points of view and generate situations of spatial disorientation, “with one eye on technology and the other on the sky”.

On Fridat 1st February, The Blank proposes The Blank Kitchen | Riccardo Baruzzi – Pane e Salame, a culinary event organized at Riccardo Baruzzi atelier-house in Bologna, h. 6-11 pm.
The Blank Kitchen was born with the aim ti create a relationship between some of the most interesting artists of the international scene and art lovers and curious through a transversal and unifying instrument such as food and cooking.
The artist house will be open to the public in its authenticity, showing the artist’s work and his private collection.
The menu will include bread, salami and wine. With “pane e salame”, the artist wants to homage humility, using a plastic table cloth and odd dishes as part of a gipsy landscape and greengrocer’s signboards remembering the artist’s hometown.
Riccardo Baruzzi, born in Lugo in 1976, paints drawings and draws paintings to reveal the origin of images, to understand their sign-based essence. During this analysis and synthesis process about the undisclosed essence of things, it happens that Riccardo Baruzzi involves the human being. Fine arts students, collectors, gallerists participate in the artist’s performances and they are given the task of interacting with the painting display or with the creative moment itself.
Flowers, pornography, Madonnas, tackles, horses, gods, schedules, everything finds its sign-based and pictorial sublimation in a universe of semi-transparent canvases, imaginary brushes, two meters long pencils, perfect cacophonies and deceitful euphonies, trembling boxes and concave foils on turntables.
Event realized in collaboration with P420.
The Blank Kitchen | Marta Margnetti – Remiscelata is part of “ATTRAVERSAMENTI” a project realized in the context of «Viavai +», an initiative promoted by the cantons of Ticino and Valais and Regione Lombardia in collaboration with Pro Helvetia Swiss Cultural Foundation.
