Michelangelo Consani - Un artista marginale
This interview is in italian. It was recorded at EX3 Contemporary Art Centre in Florence where italian artist Michelangelo Consani – EX3 Prize winner - premiered his new work Dynamo Project. The interview is part of a series of conversations commissioned by EX3 and featuring also: Simon Roberts, Ragnar Kjartansson, Michelangelo Consani, Taiyo Onorato & Nico Krebs.
We talked about Latouche, Ivan Illich, Masanobu Fukuoka, about marginality – both of the artist in society and of those individuals living on the edges of it – and inequality, starting from Marshall Walter Taylor, a talented black professional cyclist who won the world 1 mile (1.6 km) track cycling championship in 1899 after setting numerous world records and overcoming racial discrimination.
