With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our founder and long-time director -- our muse, our maestra -- Chiara Garibaldi.
As an architect and art patroness -- with a particular fondness for artworks made with highly unconventional means -- Chiara had a unique position during a unique period in Turinese society. We’re unhappy that she has left us, but we rejoice that she was with us so many years, and that she was so highly active, and gave so much. In the fast-paced worlds of Internet art, net.art and software art, so much changed during Chiara's career that it sometimes seemed that Chiara had several lifetimes.
It’s rare to meet an art entrepreneur who is a visionary, a pioneer, and a steady hand in direction and management. During her Festival’s extensive existence, Chiara was as solid as a classic marble column, and she was the inspiration and force behind the next forthcoming Share Festival, “Tomorrow Now: The Art of 2050 AD”.
As Share Festival staffers, artists and directors, we see “Tomorrow Now” as “Chiara’s last Share Festival”. We feel determined to make her event happen. We believe we can do it without her guidance (although that feat will be difficult), but we want to make it clear to everyone that any Share Festival without Chiara Garibaldi cannot possibly be what our festival once was. There will be a Tomorrow, but an era has closed.
Thank you for sharing our thoughts and feelings in this brief message, and we ask you for your understanding, aid and counsel at this time.
The Sharing board of directors and team.
