Hi, this is Marco, one of the two new Italian interns of Franklin Furnace.
I’m so happy to be here, working for such a great association in the city that never sleeps.
I am working here for four weeks and my past habits in Italy seem so far away. Italy: one of the most beautiful countries on the earth, with an amazing history especially in the art’s field. Millions of people come every year from all over the world to see Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Raffaello, Giotto, Tiziano (the list is so long!). Despite that, in my country there aren’t in reality any public grants for avant-garde artists. Would Michelangelo’s life have been the same without fundings?
This is such a shameful inconsistency!
For me it would be a dream to recreate one day an association like Franklin Furnace in Italy. Yes, I can say that this my long term goal.
So, here I am in New York City: I’m trying to learn as much as I can about this reality.
I’ve had several times the opportunity to explore the archive. Let me say: “wow”! It’s huge, plenty of fascinating files. You can feel a vibrant atmosphere of creativity there. Only those who have walked around that archive can understand what I’m talking about. Who knows what I could find out there in the future?
Now I give the floor to my “colleague”…
…hi! I’m Chiara, the second Italian intern.
I decided to start this internship at Franklin Furnace six months ago.
For me it represents an important experience to know the infinite languages of art.
I’m very glad to work in this organization, because I believe in the importance of making culture from art and from different languages.
Artists, especially avant-garde artists, always broke all the rules to express their selves and to communicate a concept to the audience.
I think that this is the best way to awaken people’s minds and to open new ways to understand the world.
As Marco said also for me is very significant to work in this field. I would like to promote through art and performances a new mentality and an open minded view. These languages have a lot of impact on public attention and can broadcast important messages.
I hope this experience at Franklin Furnace will give me new ideas and it will encourage me to achieve my purpose.
