Production Phase: Cucina Povera – A Comparative Dialogue Act
At the heart of "A Comparative Dialogue Act" is a residency programme initiated by Andrea Mancini and Every Island. During the exhibition at Mudam, four guest artists will engage with the installation, infusing it with their unique and collective signatures. They will work onsite during the production phase and showcase their newly created pieces during the performances.\n\nThe residency programme begins with "Cucina Povera," the work of Finnish-Luxembourgish composer Maria Rossi. The guest artist blends voice and field recordings to honor the banality and mysticism of the everyday. Inspired by simple sounds—creaking floorboards, whistling kettles, or leaking water—and drawing analogies with the peasant cuisine its name derives from, the work explores tensions between cultural identities as well as between architectural and geographic spaces.\n\n**Biography**\nFinnish-Luxembourgish musician Maria Rossi started their solo project "Cucina Povera" in 2017. Previously, she produced, composed, and performed as part of projects like Luxos with Daniel Magee (Lo Kindre), Green Door Studios' NEET, and the Tarantula band in Glasgow. She established audiovisual collaborations with Roos Dijkhuizen, Mary Hurrell, and Katie Shannon and released LPs on labels including Night School, BAKK, Editions Mego, and Primordial Void. Rossi has done live appearances and mixes for BBC3, BBC6, NTS, and Radio Raheem. Rossi has attended artist residencies in three French national parks with choreographer Frank Micheletti, and at WORM in Rotterdam, Hallo Festspiele in Hamburg, and Intonal Festival in Malmö with Emanuel Sundin and Maja Li Härdelin for the SHAPE+ platform. Commissions include pieces for Radiophrenia in Glasgow, Sonica in Glasgow, and Performa/Pioneer Works in NYC. Rossi has performed in thirty countries worldwide.
