Artist and curator Giulia Currà trasloca from Casa Cicca Museum (Milan) to Shmorévaz (Paris) for a research residency from 23rd to 29th of April.

I have a crush on you is the second part of Giulia Currà’s research project If you move something happens, supported by the General Directorate for Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture within the framework of the Italian Council programme (13th edition, 2024). Anchored in her family’s displacement from Calabrian land in the 60’s to the industrial North of Italy where they opened a moving company, Giulia Currà’s research looks into the social, material and symbolic implications of trasloco [moving houses] through a transgenerational and feminist perspective. Negotiating between the notions of inheritance and reuse, preservation and abandonment, Giulia Currà’s reinvents her life through poetry, crush notes, books, installations, performances, collaborations and practices of care / witchcraft. Her home – Casa Cicca Museum – serves as a depot composed of a collection of art works and of traces of the human and non-human entities that have passed through it.

On Sunday April 24th, Giulia Currà invites you to partake in a collective crush note session echoing Hanna Rochereau’s exhibition ‘The Full Package’.

Giulia Currà has been a traslocatrice with art since 1988. Her research and life converge in a single research project about trasloco and its repurposing in relation to the Southern Italian diaspora through poetic means. She lives in Casa Cicca Museum, her house and depot, taking care of more than 3.000 traces and objects donated by guests or left behind by sharing practices. She founded Traslochi Emotivi in 2011 as a moving company that creates actions and publications through collaborations with artists and loved ones. Some appearances with Traslochi Emotivi include: In-ruins Residency, Sibari-Amendolara; Deposta, FOG Triennale Teatro, Milano; Vegetal Import Festival, Manifesta 11, Zurich; RB// IC, XV. Architecture Biennale, Venice. She used to write erotic texts with Gilda Von Rümelin.
