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.

Radicate was founded in 2012, when tools like Skype were just beginning to spread.
From the outset, we adopted them to connect people and ideas directly and immediately, creating an ever-evolving archive.
This was happening well before platforms such as Teams or Meet became part of everyday life.
The aim was to use these connection tools to explore urgent issues such as migration, technological, climatic, and geopolitical transformations, through conversations with artists, curators, scientists, and researchers from all over the world.

Radicate is a project conceived by Tiziana Casapietra.

Andreas Schlaegel from Berlin, November 2012 (Part 2).

This is part two of my Skype conversation with Andreas Schlaegel, art critic and curator based in Berlin. Here he analyzes the Berlin art scene today, after 20, 30 years of consistent development. What we see today in Berlin, is the first generation of artists who came to live and work in the city and never experienced the political dimension of the fall of the wall. There are still those big galleries that opened in the 90s, usually run by white middle class German guys, that are taking control of the Berlin art scene and that are mainly market-oriented; more recently we have witnessed a pretty new phenomenon of other galleries that opened few years ago that are run by middle class German female and embrace more political agendas.
