Giuseppe Pinto is a curator, philosopher, researcher, and grower of pre-human plants based in Torre Santa Susanna and Polignano a Mare (Puglia).
In 2014, he co-founded Like A Little Disaster (L.A.L.D.) and its related project spaces in Polignano a Mare and throughout the Puglia region. Through L.A.L.D.’s trans-post medial/generational/gender/species perspective, he has involved some of the most interesting and subversive artists, researchers, and curators on both the Italian and international scenes.
In 2020, he launched Baitball, a long-term nomadic art fair focused on collaboration, sharing, and becoming with others. Now in its fourth edition, Baitball has seen the participation of over three hundred galleries, project spaces, curatorial collectives, and international institutions.
His practice is innervated by a mesh of risky attachments and liquid, viscous, decentralized, gradual, and intersubjective entities. In his world, every entity can only be defined in relation to others (though it is not the relation itself). He is engaged in the production, implementation, and presentation of provisional projects strongly influenced by the surrounding environment, offering significant responses or possible alternatives to the economic, political, and social conditions experienced daily in the “territories” where he operates and interacts.
He promotes artistic collaborations, explorations, and experiments in various cultural contexts and public viewing spaces. His mission is to provide an alternative—a different context in which artists can experiment, extending the relations and interconnections they generate outside; from the hyper-individual/local to the universality.
