In Focus: Jannis Kounellis as Mentor

A program dedicated to the legacy of Jannis Kounellis as a prolific professor and mentor.

Magazzino Italian Art is pleased to host In Focus: Jannis Kounellis as Mentor, to shed light on an aspect of the Arte Povera artist's life as a mentor and professor that is rarely discussed. 

Conceived by Dr. Francesco Guzzetti, Magazzino Italian Art’s former Scholar-in-Residence 2018-19, In Focus: Jannis Kounellis as Mentor will look specifically at the impact of Kounellis during his time as a professor of sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Düsseldorf from 1993 to 2001, and later in the early 2000s, holding workshops throughout Europe. The program will feature a presentation by Guzzetti, followed by a conversation with artist Calixto Ramírez. A video of an interview with Michelle Coudray and Bruno Corà, respectively president and member of the scientific committee of Archivio Kounellis in Rome, will also be screened.

Join us at Magazzino next week on Saturday, November 12, 2022, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. with a reception following the program. Tickets are available here

About Calixto Ramírez

Calixto Ramírez is a Mexican artist born on the border of Reynosa with Hidalgo, Texas who has led a semi-nomadic life. This relationship to movement, has consciously and unconsciously influenced his way of understanding reality and has informed his capacity to use that experience as a tool to produce images, objects, spaces or gestures that propose new narratives. Calixto studied at the National School of Painting, Sculpture and Printmaking “La Esmeralda,” Mexico City, and spent a semester in a school exchange program with the National University of Colombia, Bogotá. In 2013 Jannis Kounellis invited him to live and work in Italy which gave him an opportunity to immerse himself in the European art scene, specifically in Italy. In 2019 Calixto returned to north Mexico. He has been the recipient of numerous grants and awards such as FONCA´s grant “Contigo a la distancia,” (2018), and the “Level 0 Prize” in Art Verona, Italy (2105); as well as a completed residencies around the world, including the residency program at Fundación Marcelino Botín in Spain (2009). He has exhibited at the Museo Jumex, Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes, Museo de Arte Moderno (Mexico), Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil, Museo de la Cd. De México, Museo de Arte de Sonora, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Tamaulipas, Museo de Arte Raúl Anguiano, Escuela Superior de Música y Danza de Monterrey, Nave Generadores and Fototeca de Nuevo León, Fondazione MEMMO, Fondazione smART, Museo del Novecento in Naples, and the National Art Gallery of Tirana. He currently lives and works in Monterrey, México.
