Twenty six young artists from different countries are going to “land” in Modena (Italy) in the expository venue of the former Sant’Agostino Hospital, on the occasion of International Departure: Gate 10, a show devoted to the students of some of the most important European institutions dealing with Photography and Fine Arts, from 12 June to 4 July 2010.
On display there will be the works of 26 students selected among 11 institutions of 6 different European countries, which distinguish themselves in the field of education: Royal College of Art in London, Stills – Scotland’s Centre for Photography in Edimburgh (Great Britain); Academie St. Joost in Breda (The Netherlands); Akademie der bildenden Künste in Vienna, Universität für angewandte Kunst in Vienna, Kunstuniversität in Linz (Austria), Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig (Germany), Universidad Politecnica de Valencia (Spain), Accademia di Belle Arti in Catania, Fondazione Marangoni in Florence, CFP Bauer in Milan (Italy).
The exhibition, curated by Filippo Maggia, intends to emphasize the work of young artists who are approaching the international art scene, giving them the opportunity to exhibit in an institutional contest and to confront themselves with other European “colleagues”. This is in line with the educational aims of Fondazione Fotografia, the cultural project promoted by Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio in Modena in parallel with the creation of a Collection of contemporary photographs. In this framework has also to be set the launching of an international Master of high qualification in the field of photography and images, starting from the academic year 2011/2012.
International Departure: Gate 10 presents the works of Ekua McMorris, Emily Keegin, Nina Mangalanayagam (Royal College of Art, London), Damian Ucieda Cortes, Jennifer Hood, Tor Jonsson (Stills – Scotland’s Centre for Photography, Edinburgh), Anaïs López, Willem Popelier (Academie St. Joost, Breda, The Netherlands), C. Michael Gangemi, Sandra Kosel, Itai Margula (Akademie der bildenden Künste, Vienna), Katharina Gruzei, Conny Habbel, Chrischa Oswald (Kunstuniversität, Linz), Irene Hopfgartner, Yuko Ichikawa (Universität für angewandte Kunst, Vienna), Ulrike Hannemann, Marcel Noack, Cathleen Schuster (Academy of Visual Arts, Leipzig), Mariela Apollonio, Vicente Tirado del Olmo, Laura Vallés Vílchez (Universidad Politecnica de Valencia), Turiana Ferrara (Accademia di Belle Arti, Catania), Margherita Cesaretti (Fondazione Marangoni, Florence), Mara Costantini, Enrica Quaranta (CFP Bauer, Milan).

And my first solo exhibition in Aberdeen, Scotland:
Exhibitions: I will be launching the "Art at the Atheneum" programme at The Atheneum in Aberdeen with my solo exhibition Numerology.
Surrounded by myth, superstition and misconception, the magpie is a bird of complex symbolic and folkloric origin. From the trade-mark trinket laden nest to their ominous numerically fateful flocks, the monochromatic magpie is a bird both maligned and revered throughout the western and eastern worlds. Combining their fierce intelligence with a covetous nature, the magpie is as diverse and intriguing as the objects that litter its nest, and has consequently provided a rich and fascinating research base for "Numerology"
Numerology: A Solo Exhibition by Jenny Hood
