In this interview held in Italian via Skype, Alessandro De March talks about his gallery and the Lambrate district in Milan where it is located. This is an area here many galleries have been established in recent years. They manage to coordinate their openings so that art lovers can walk from venue to venue and enjoy this sort of “diffused museum”. At the moment De March is showing works by photographer Paolo Rosselli (through Nov. 8th 2012). Rosselli (Milan 1952) makes digital photographs of contemporary architecture and urban life anywhere in the world. He has photographed works by Juan Navarro Baldeweg, Manuel de Solà-Morales. Renzo Piano, Herzog & De Meuron, Jean Nouvel. His work has been exhibited internationally: Architekturmuseum, Basel; Venice Biennial; Centro Cultural de Belém, Lisbon; Architecture Biennial, Venice; Milan Triennale.

Radicate è nato nel 2012, quando strumenti come Skype iniziavano appena a diffondersi.
Fin dall’inizio li abbiamo adottati per mettere in relazione persone e idee in modo diretto e immediato, creando un archivio in continua evoluzione.
Questo avveniva molto prima che piattaforme come Teams o Meet diventassero di uso quotidiano.
L’intenzione era di sfruttare questi strumenti di connessione per esplorare questioni urgenti come migrazioni, trasformazioni tecnologiche, climatiche e geopolitiche, attraverso conversazioni con artisti, curatori, scienziati e ricercatori di tutto il mondo.Radicate è un progetto ideato da Tiziana Casapietra.
