From Cfu To Funen: Interview With Jakob Jakobsen

Loretta Borrelli
In April of this year a group of students from the Funen Art Academy , an independent academy in Copenhagen , did a tour of Italy with the objective of coming into contact with certain activist and underground Italian groups.

Giacomo Verde: Action Beyond Representation

Clemente Pestelli
Many people will already know Giacomo Verde's name and activity: a video maker, performer and, as he likes to define himself, techno artist.
