Giuliana Racco (Toronto, Canada, 1976) Artist with a BFA (Honours) from Queen s University (1999) and an MFA from the IUAV University of Venice (2006). Matteo Guidi (Cesena, Italy, 1978) Artist with a Diploma in Visual Communication (1998) and a Degree in Ethno-anthropology, University of Bologna (2011) is a member of AAVC (Associaciò Artistes Visuals de Catalunya) and the Co.Mo. Do. Cooperative (Communicate Multiplies Duties). He is a professor of Sociology of Communication at the ISIA of Urbino (I). Guidi and Racco work indipendently and as a collective they have collaborated continuously since 2008. They conduct research in spaces where people have difficulty freely fulfilling simple daily actions. Currently based in Barcelona (and in long-term residency at Hangar - centre for art research and production), they operate at the intersection between art and anthropology, investigating complex contexts of more or less closed structures, i.e. high security prisons, factories, and, most recently, refugee camps. Their practices looks into the ways individuals or groups of manage their own movement through strongly defined systems which tend to objectify them and even induce forms of selfrestraint. Reflecting on unpredictable methods of daily resistance sparked by a combination of simplicity and ingenuity, they focus on contexts that are considered marginal or exceptional but, in reality, anticipate more common scenarios. Together and independently they have participated in exhibitions and festivals and held talks in international contexts, such as DissenyHub Barcelona (E), ÚS Barcelona Festival, Centre d Art Santa Mònica Barcelona (E), Departament de Justícia de la Generalitat de Catalunya Barcelona (E), DAAR (Decolonizing Architecture Art Residency) Beit Sahour (PS), Faculty of Fine Arts of the City of Porto (P), University of Barcelona, Escola Massana Barcelona (E), Espacio AB9, Murcia (E), Kunstuniversität Linz (A), Galerija SIZ Rijeka, Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Rijeka (HR), Akademie der Künste der Welt Cologne (D), International Academy Of Art Palestine Ramallah (PS), Artissima Lido - Turin Contemporary Art Fair (I), Fotomuseum Winterthur (CH), Festival Loop Barcelona (E), SESC de Artes Mediterrane São Paulo (BR), Musée d Art Moderne et Contemporain Strasbourg (FR), Bethnal Green Road London (UK) and the Center For Design Resarch & Education of Hanyang University Kyunggido (KR). They have participated in international research and residency programmes in Spain (Espai Nyam Nyam Barcelona) (Hangar Barcelona); Portugal (Soft Control / The Technical Unconsciuos); West Bank (Campus in Camps Bethlehem); Croatia (Kamova Rijeka); Israel (JCVA Jerusalem Center for Visual Art Tel Aviv); Italy (O Milan, Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa, Venice) and Luxemburg (Kulturfabrik Esch-sur-Alzette). They have conducted workshops in a variety of environments, including universities, prisons and refugee camps.
