COMPONIBILE62 is a non profit cultural association registered at Agenzia delle Entrate in Naples, on the 08/01/2008. The name is driven from Julio Cortazar’s book, which is made up of 62 folders. Each of these folders represents a singular semantic element in interdependent relationship with each other. The book specificity is that whatever position folders take, they always make sense.
In the same way, the association works in constant and fruitful cooperation with all parts and components.
Mission & Vision
COMPONIBILE62 aims to promote, produce and participate in art, visual communication, and the organisation of cultural events, with special attention on youth and education, planning and productive aspects, using an international and trans-national perspective. COMPONIBILE62 is moving towards national and trans-national environment promoting multicultural cooperation. Our common view prompts us to work like “antennas” can pick up signals from outside, and build a dynamic partners’ network.
Management and organizational, artistic, scientific and journalistic skills of members, alongside their “geographical dispersion”, are propulsive forces for the variety, differentiation and realisation of projects.
Since the first year of operation in 2008, Componibile62 made significant initiatives, at national and international level, in the field of art and cultural projects, promoting residencies, international experiences and exhibitions for young artists.
Componibile 62 is an association that plans, implements and manages projects to exchange art and culture, deeply believing in the empowerment of people through them.
Over the years the association has curated national and international exchanges, artistic residencies, and contemporary art exhibitions.
