Giacomo Pigliapoco is an independent curator and researcher based in Milan. He’s currently the DucatoPrize’s Director. His recent curated exhibitions include: Sowing the seed of care, FuoriCampo Gallery – Siena; Lo davamo per scontato, Palazzo Ducale – Genoa; BodiesBodies, La rada, Locarno; Milano piano zero, Triennale – Milan; Crepuscolo, Bastione Sangallo – Ancona; Preferire l’ombra, Fondazione Sant’Elia – Palermo.

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.

Tamara Dinka, Serbia. MA in Languages, Sotheby’s Certificate in Contemporary Art.
For me, dealing with art is like brushing your teeth – you somehow want to avoid it, but you anyway do it. (In the end, you keep on brushing five times a day!)
My favourite hobby is writing about art. Contemporary art is strong and it can really move you or completely disappoint you. The most important is the message that goes through. So far, I wrote about Vienna Contemporary Art, Hong Kong Art Basel, Shanghai Art021.
I participated in many group exhibitions, such as Athen’s Art Fair, Sarieva Bulgaria, Belvedere 21er Haus, Parallel Vienna.
I always worked between three mediums: visual, audio and written. I made music for many fashion editorials and commercials (Vogue, L’Officiel, IRK Mag).
Currently I am based in Shanghai where I’m lecturing about Art History and Contemporary Art.
