The function of this satellite website is to offer an exhaustive documentation of the activity of Ezzthetic, an artists’s collective which I have been a core member of from 2000 until its dissolution, in 2005.
The necessity for this publication comes from the state of total abandon in which the original Ezzthetic website lays since the termination of the collective’s activities.
www.ezzthetic.com, which you are welcome to visit, is now under the exclusive control of its original creator, and financer, and in its present state does not, to my opinion, serve either the purpose of presenting a reasoned description of a supposingly active group, nor of offering a retrospective documentation of its lifetime activities.
It does succeed, however, in portraying satisfactorily the formal and aesthetic values that underpinned all collective’s actions, and it is as valid as any of its productions in this respect.

MY STORY WITH EZZTHETIC

I joined Ezzthetic in the first months of 2001, shortly after its foundation by Leonardo Gementi and Pierpaolo Vit, in a time when a chain of circumstances were motivating me to spend a considerable portion of my time back in my homeland.
The first production I was invited to take part in was BISMILLAH, FEDELE D’AMORE, a theatre work produced by the actor and director Paolo Antonio Simioni. An artistic love affair quickly bloomed between me and the core team of ezzthetic after that show, and shortly after it I was to make, for the first time in my adult life, the experience of devoting three consecutive months to a full-time immersion in playful, non finalised, team artistic creation, mainly in the company of Leonardo Gementi, in his on-the-making recording/exhibition studio in Udine.
Within a couple of years, thanks to our joint efforts, the Ezzthetic studio became an open workshop, and a sort of gravitational centre that attracted many of the most radical and valid artists of the Triveneto area of Italy: musicians, composers, actors, visual artists who, in different occasions, left their mark on the Ezzthetic portfolio by collaborating in one or more of their numerous interdisciplinary productions.
