Francesco Urbano Ragazzi, also known under the acronym FFUR, is an Italian curatorial duo formed by Francesco Ragazzi (born 1983 in Vicenza, Italy) and Francesco Urbano (born 1984 in Bari, Italy).[1] The duo was formed in 2008 and has gone by the two names since 2011.[1][2][3]
Curating[edit]
Working on the relationship between contemporary art and reality, Francesco Urbano Ragazzi has curated exhibitions both offline and online, in museums and in unconventional venues such as commercial spaces, historical buildings, scientific institutions and websites.[3][4][5] The duo has worked with US artist Cheryl Donegan, Italian artist Chiara Fumai, US artist and writer Kenneth Goldsmith, Greek-born artist Miltos Manetas, as well as Lithuanian-born artist and filmmaker Jonas Mekas.
Francesco Urbano Ragazzi's curatorial projects include:
- I, You, He, She: A Heterosexual Exhibition (Italian: Io Tu Lui Lei: Una Mostra Eterosessuale) at Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa in Venice in 2012.[6]
- The 3rd Internet Pavilion: The Unconnected by Miltos Manetas, in conjunction with the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013.[1][7]
- The Internet Saga, an exhibition series inaugurated in 2015 with a solo show by Jonas Mekas at Palazzo Foscari Contarini, a historic Venetian building converted into a fast-food restaurant.[1][8] The series developed through projects in collaboration with various public and private institutions, such as 63rd-77th STEPS[9] and Villa Croce Museum of Contemporary Art in Genoa in 2016,[1] the Maraya Art Centre[10] and FARE at the Frigoriferi Milanesi[11] in Milan in 2016-2017,[1] the Fermi LAT Collaboration Meeting held at the CERN main auditorium in Geneva in 2017,[12] Missoni's Surface Conversion project in New York with Jonas Mekas in 2017-2018[13][14] and Cheryl Donagan in 2018-2019,[15][16] the 8th Bucharest Biennale in 2018,[17] the Milan Stock Exchange in 2019,[18] and 5th floor, the digital platform of the Centre d'Art Contemporain Genève in 2019 and 2020.[19][20]

Presented on the balcony and in the foyer of Teatro Italia, a cinema converted into a supermarket, the exhibition displayed in printed format the emails that were at the centre of the controversy known as Hillary Clinton's "emailgate".[24] The show was also accompanied by daily film screenings with works selected from UbuWeb.[24] The former US Secretary of State visited the exhibition, which was reported by prominent international news media.[25][26][27] Hillary Clinton herself posted her portrait taken inside the exhibition space on her official Instagram account with a comment reading "Found my emails at the Venice Biennale. Someone alert the House GOP".[25][26][27]
