More interviews about production, following with our research. In New York City consonni was for two months (August and September) interviewing people about the concept of production in contemporary art within the “Bird and ornithologist” project, thanks to our collaborators in the city: the curator Alhena Katsof and the artist Itziar Barrio.

We have the chance of having many different meetings and we still working on it because New York is an interesting space to discuss about the conditions of production. Here some of the people that was interviewed:
