The Gala on April 25th is a special evening prepared just for you! All proceeds will benefit our wonderful Campo Science building. This event not only brings us together to celebrate and have fun but it also underscores our unity and strength as a community. I am very proud to announce that one of the science labs will be named the “TPA Middle School Lab” in honor of the TPA’s exceptional support and contribution to the school.

I invite you to browse through this booklet to see all our sponsors, who have been extremely generous. My heartfelt thanks go to all those who participated in making this gala a real success:

“The photos Debbie Harry and Wendy Whitelaw are part of a series of 40 portraits called Figurines which were taken from 1977 to 1984 on the roof of my loft situated between Broadway and Bleecker Street in New York. Many of the most interesting female characters in this work animated the cultural and nocturnal life of 80s New York, and Blondie’s Debbie Harry and Wendy Whitelaw are a perfect example”.

Both works were on show in the exhibition: “Edo Bertoglio. Ring flash”, curated by Mariuccia Casadio, May - July 2014, Cortesi Gallery, Lugano.

“Figurines (1978-82) is an extraordinary collection of portraits featuring iconic figures from the New York punk/new-wave scene. By observing the lineaments, expressions, and permutations of the female face, Edo Bertoglio has borne witness to his era and told his own story. In his portraits of young urban idols of the late Seventies and early Eighties finds a fascination with identity that has evolved through the stages of a life spent in Paris, London, and New York. It is a full immersion in the magic and mores of the different generations, cultures, and scenes that the Swiss-born photographer has documented in his pictures” (Mariuccia Casadio in “Edo Bertoglio. Ringflash”, catalogue of the exhibition, Cortesi Gallery, 2014).

Edo Bertoglio was born in 1951 in Lugano, Switzerland. After earning his degree in film direction and editing from the Conservatoire Libre du Cinéma Français in Paris, he moved first to London, and then in 1976 to New York, where he remained for fourteen years. He worked as a staff photographer for Andy Warhol’s Interview, documenting the artistic and musical life of figures from the downtown scene of the Seventies and Eighties such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Debbie Harry, and , and his pictures appeared in the leading fashion, music, art and pop culture magazines. He directed the films and Face Addict. He moved back to Lugano in 1990, where he continues to work as a photographer and documentary filmmaker.

Gioni David Parra was born in the province of Pisa in 1962. He is a painter, sculptor and scenographer. After years of technical and thematic research and refinement, he has found and established his own very personal pictorial language. This visual language is a complex one, and sometimes many different techniques make up a single work. His approach is often formalist, and the play with reliefs suggests an overlapping between painting and sculpture that constitutes the work.

Parra currently lives and works in Lido di Camaiore, Viareggio, in the province of Lucca. He has worked with many prestigious galleries; several of his works are in Italian museums and foundations, and also in international collections. His work has been shown in galleries across Italy, as well as in Berlin, Bangkok, Moscow, London, Lugano and New York.

Christine Streuli Solo show until May 30, 2015, Lugano.

Christine Streuli is a successful Swiss artist living in Berlin. In 2007 she represented Switzerland at the Venice Biennial and in 2014 she took part in the Sydney Biennial. She had solo exhibitions at Helmhaus Zurich (2009), Kunstverein Oldenburg (2009), Museum Marta Herford in Germany (2010), Kunstmuseum Luzern (2013) and Haus am Waldsee, Berlin (2013). In the context of contemporary painting she holds a special position: she operates with a multifaceted sign language that draws on the most varied sources from art history to Pop culture. Using symmetry, reflection and repetition, the artist develops patterns and ornamental structures. The multilayered composition of her paintings derives not only from the superimposition of these elements, but also from the deliberate combination of different painterly approaches. Streuli is not a classical artist painting in the traditional way: she rarely paints with the brush. She often uses transfer techniques, as stencils, sprays and decalcomania. Despite this transposition and the meditative distance created, her paintings are very direct and emotional, not least because of the signs and the daring coloration.

Monica De Cardenas founded her gallery in Milano in 1992. In 2007 she opened a second gallery in an old Engadin house in Zuoz / St. Moritz and in 2014 a gallery space in Lugano. She represents international contemporary artists such as Stephan Balkenhol, Alex Katz, Gianluca Di Pasquale, Markus Raetz, Thomas Struth and others. The current exhibition in Lugano is a solo show by Christine Streuli, lasting until May 30th.
