Marianna Liosi
Delfina Foundation: The Public Domain Residency 2015

Curator Marianna Liosi spent two months in residence at Delfina Foundation, taking part in their programme The Public Domain: Season Two.

Liosi’s research focusses on the social, economic and political dynamics related to the use of technology through aesthetics. At Delfina Foundation, she developed her collaborative long-term project Regarding Spectatorship, which examines the effects of digitalization on the public sphere. The project focuses upon the prevalent mode of vision and the engagement of the distant onlooker in relation to mediated political events, critically exploring the role played by mass and informal media as well as by technological devices in the politics of representation. As part of her residency, Liosi curated a series of film screenings as well as an informal lecture that raised questions about mediated participation through digital technologies and provoked debate around the safety and responsibility of distanced observation.
 
Marianna Liosi (Italy) is an independent curator living in Berlin. In her research, she explores the aesthetics of social, economic and political dynamics, with specific attention to media, technology and the question of spectatorship and its generative role. Architecture and labour, exploitation of the landscape, the financial crisis, production and vision are the topics that she has investigated in collaboration with artists, curators or researchers from different disciplines.
