Jannis Kounellis, in addition to his legacy as a key participant in Arte Povera, was also a prolific teacher and mentor. In Focus: Jannis Kounellis as Mentor aimed to shed light on this defining, yet unrecognized, aspect of Kounellis’ practice. Curated by Dr. Francesco Guzzetti, Magazzino Italian Art’s former Scholar-in-Residence 2018-19, this program looked specifically at his impact while 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, which took place at Magazzino Italian Art on Saturday, November 12, 2022, featured a presentation by Dr. Francesco Guzzetti, who interviewed former students and assistants of Kounellis, such as artists Christiane Löhr and Eduard Winklhofer. A video of an interview with Michelle Coudray and Bruno Corà, respectively president and member of the scientific committee of Archivio Kounellis in Rome, was also screened, followed by a conversation with artist Calixto Ramírez who was a former student of Jannis Kounellis. The program closed with a Q&A from the audience.
