Project
AP207.S1.1971.PR04
Description:
This project series documents Pettena's performance "Vestirsi Di Siede", also know in English as "Wearable Chairs". The performance was carried out between 3 pm and 5 pm on February 12, 1971, in the streets of Minneapolis by ten students of Pettena at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. The students, each wearing a portable chair harnessed on their back, wandered around the city, either by foot or by bus, and than returned to the college. "In this performance, it was the body that activated and gave meaning to the object: the chair only taking on meaning when carried, otherwise, it became disjointed." [1] The chairs were then put on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. A second edition of the performance was also carried out with the students from Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA) in Milan, 2011, and an installation of the chairs was presented at the exhibition "Un art pauvre" at the Centre Pompidou in 2016. The project series contains photographs of the performance by the students of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and photographs of the exhibit at the Minneapolis Institute of Art in 1971. It also contains three sketches for the chairs, a drawing of the performance and a statement about the perfomance. The project series also includes photographs of the performance of the NABA students in 2011.

Mother Nature (2012)
AP207.S1.2012.PR01
Description:
The project series documents the digitally created installation "Mother Nature" by Pettena in 2011. The project consists of a photograph of a rock formation on the edge of the water which was digitally modified to include a human figure nested in. "What is presented here in an almost didactic manner, by inserting a human figure into a setting prepared by nature, is the natural imbalance between the former and the infinite potentialities of the environment, which can only be known in part by someone who, accepting this situation of inferiority, makes use of it to acquire the capacity for a more conscious observation." [1] The project series contains drawings and photographs of the installation.
