GITA, an acronym for Gathering of Italian Talented Artists and a play on the Italian word for “excursion,” is conceived by artistic director Paola Clerico with curators Francesco Urbano Ragazzi and Ilaria Gianni. Aiming to increase the international representation of artists from or based in Italy, the committee invites curators of biennials and other major recurring exhibitions to explore the Italian art scene. Moving across different cities, GITA’s program of studio visits is structured around the research interests of its guest curators, encouraging meaningful exchanges and collaborations with artists. The program is made possible thanks to Pamina Foundation, Callie’s, and other supporters.
The first stop on this journey will be Milan, which will host the curators of two significant upcoming biennials: Catherine Nichols for the Lyon Biennale and Neringa Bumblienė for the Vilnius Biennial of Performance Art.
On October 3, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. at Cuore – Research, Study and Archives Center of Triennale Milano, Bumblienė and Nichols will converse with the GITA team, sharing insights into their research and offering a glimpse of their upcoming biennials.
