Over 1000 works contained in the 16 issues, from 2004 to today, by authors from 35 nations.<\/strong> Currently, the BAU editorial board made up of Antonino Bove, Luca Brocchini, Giuseppe Calandriello, Gabriele Menconi, Guido Peruz and Tommaso Vassalle<\/strong>, sits in Viareggio and has national and international contacts ranging over the experimental trends of contemporary art: Fluxus, Visual Poetry, Pataphysics, Mail Art, extended perception research, examination of the relationships between art, music, IT, fashion, cooking, and a lot else besides. The magazine began with\u00a0BAU 0 (2004),<\/em>\u00a0consisting of works in A4 format fitted into a fine cardboard box full of stories, written comments, letters, explorations of such themes as the relationship between colour and music, music and maths, music and IT.\u00a0BAU 1 (2005)<\/em>\u00a0defines itself as an \u201copen box\u201d, i.e. lab, hub, exchange network, sensory response to virtuality.\u00a0BAI 2 (2006)<\/em>\u00a0multiplies creative energies to form an organic whole which feels, perceives, predicts around the theme of Corpo d’a(r)mata<\/em>\u00a0(Armed force\/the force of love)<\/em>. A black stylised dog is the emblem of\u00a0BAU 3 (2007)<\/em>, an incubator of original ideas which creates a project solidarity in order to reach beyond artistic individualism and give and receive oxygen from outside contributions. The theme of\u00a0BAU 4+5<\/em>\u00a0(2008)<\/em>\u00a0is\u00a0Utimatum<\/em>: the planet is in the midst of a serious energy, economic (the great crisis began in 2008), ecological and cultural emergency: BAU was far-sighted.\u00a0BAU 6 (2009)<\/em>\u00a0launches itself into the adventure of the shared work, more organic than simple group work. Stories disappear and Visual Poetry, Mail Art and Fluxus prevail.\u00a0\u00a0BAU 7 (2010),<\/em>\u00a0the last cardboard container, tackles the theme of surprise and the relationships between art, science, politics and environment, in order to verify and critically arrange the history of art and the poetic production of the last few decades in Versilia and on the Tyrrhenian coast.\u00a0BAU 8 (2011),<\/em>\u00a0in the ecological biodegradable polypropylene box, addresses the theme of building materials in order to convey sharing, connection, propagation of ideas, information.\u00a0BAU 9 (2012)<\/em>\u00a0is also made of polypropylene, the theme is\u00a0Electro BAU<\/em>, the aim to promote enlightened, bold choices.\u00a0BAU 10 (2013)<\/em>\u00a0is the last polypropylene Container, guided by its emblem, the rose of the winds, towards past history and links with the present.\u00a0BAU 11 (2014)\u00a0<\/em>is different from all the others, being divided up into lots of small sections containing the same number of small objects, a small\u00a0Wunderkammer<\/em>\u00a0with miniature artist\u2019s books, crocheted trademarks and small 3D sculptures.\u00a0BAU 12 (2015)<\/em>\u00a0is entitled\u00a0Leo Ex Machina. Ingegni leonardeschi nell’arte contemporanea<\/em>\u00a0(Leonardesque devices in contemporary art)<\/em>\u00a0and it anticipates the future, i.e. the Leonardo mania of 2019, in a user-friendly A5 format.\u00a0BAU 13 (2016)<\/em>\u00a0exceeds all expectations:\u00a0Dress codex urgenze contemporanee in veste di rivista<\/em>\u00a0(contemporary urgencies in the guise of a magazine)<\/em>, with a spectacular A2 format. Its theme is fashion, but from a strictly BAU point of view.\u00a0BAU 14 (2017)<\/em>\u00a0is a cylinder entitled\u00a0GPS Global Participation System<\/em>; it is a marker of useful expressions and trajectories and a receiver of various position signals sent from the creative satellites in its orbit.\u00a0BAU 15 (2018)<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0BAU Out, vie d\u2019uscita possibili (possible ways out)<\/em>\u00a0is a coloured cube which the puppet should pop out of, serving to create wonderment.\u00a0BAU 16 (2019),<\/em>\u00a0Snapshot<\/em>, in its elegant matt black box, is the latest offspring. It is a snapshot; it captures the instant; it is a testimony to current artistic research; it is an inevitable interaction between world cultures which cannot and must not stay separate; a hybridisation of art in the social networks; a new evolutionary stage of modernity which must record its disintegration, inconsistency, lack of coordinated sense. BAU thus favours large numbers and does not flinch at challenges. The decision to display all the Containers and their contents in La Spezia at the CAMec, is one such challenge.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ header_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_text_color=”#000000″ custom_padding=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Exhibition promoted by and produced with the contribution of curated by:\u00a0<\/strong>Mara Borzone [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" curated by Mara Borzone Over 1000 works contained in the 16 issues, from 2004 to today, by authors from 35 nations.The Box has precedents in the assembling magazines of the past; it is a box containing 60, 70, even 100 creations by the same number of historical, internationally-important authors working in all the different cultural […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":250844,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-251656","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exhibition-archive"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
The Box has precedents in the assembling magazines of the past; it is a box containing 60, 70, even 100 creations by the same number of historical, internationally-important authors working in all the different cultural disciplines: artists and creative talents are present alongside professional figures generally operating outside the field of art, such as doctors, engineers and chefs. It has been purchased by numerous museums, libraries and important collections: the MART in Rovereto; the Tate Library in London; the Beinecke Yale University (USA); the Museo del Novecento and Triennale in Milan; the MACRO in Rome, the Centre Pompidou in Paris; the Museum of Modern Art in Miami (USA), and others. This experimental magazine is one of the most original and significant art publications active today in Italy, initially designed by Carlo Battisti, later by Gumdesign (Gabriele Pardi and Laura Fisaschi), and currently by Gabriele Menconi. It comes out annually in a limited edition (generally 150 copies), with the aim of creating interaction among a large variety of creative experiences, promoting them freely and independently with no profit-making purpose and wholly self-financed.<\/p>\n
