Biografia

Napoli
Lea Buoncristiano nacque a Napoli il 5 marzo 1936 dove fu cresciuta dai nonni che la sottrassero alla madre, da loro considerata di origini troppo umili. Ricevette una prima formazione scolastica da un'insegnante privata.  Frequentò poi il Liceo Umberto I, dove intrecciò una stretta relazione fondata sulla stima reciproca con la sua professoressa di italiano, Teresa Benevento. Si iscrisse alla Facoltà di Filosofia, che lasciò all'età di 19 anni per iniziare a scrivere su testate locali. Si sposò giovanissima nello stesso anno con Adamo Vergine, di cui mantenne il cognome anche dopo la separazione.

Il suo primo articolo di critica d'arte fu pubblicato nel 1959 su I 4 Soli, una rivista d'avanguardia, bilingue, fondata nel 1954 e diretta dal pittore Adriano Parisot. La collaborazione con I 4 Soli, che durò fino al 1960, la portò a contatto con intellettuali e giovani critici interessati alla creazione di una "rassegna d'arte attuale" (come recita la copertina della rivista stessa), che stabilisse un collegamento decisivo tra l'arte contemporanea italiana e francese.

Vergine era spinta dall'interesse per l'attualità e dal "voler stare in mezzo a quello che accade"; attenta alle nuove tendenze nel panorama dell'arte della sua città, nel 1963 scrisse Undici pittori napoletani di oggi un testo che raccoglie il lavoro di artisti tra cui Emilio Notte, Vincenzo Ciardo, Giovanni Brancaccio, Domenico Spinosa, Corrado Russo, Raffaele Lippi, Armando De Stefano, Renato Barisani, Carlo Alfano, Carmine Di Ruggiero, Gianni Pisani, con la prefazione del critico d'arte Giulio Carlo Argan che scrisse: "Il saggio di Lea Vergine [...] respinge sin da principio la tesi di una "scuola napoletana moderna" e, descrivendo il loro sviluppo individuale, mostra come, per liberarsi da una tradizione spenta, l'impegno studioso valga più di un colpo di testa".

Negli stessi anni iniziò a frequentare la galleria privata Il Centro (fondata nel 1960 da Renato Bacarelli e i fratelli Arturo e Armando Caròla), con la quale collaborò all'organizzazione di alcune mostre, come la personale del 1963 di Lucio Fontana, presente con diciassette Concetti spaziali tra il 1952 e il 1962. Erano gli anni in cui Fontana lavorava al «ciclo dei buchi» (1949-1968) e al «ciclo dei tagli» (1958-1968). Le reazioni alla mostra rivelarono un'impostazione ancora profondamente maschilista della società e del mondo dell'arte. Il critico Luigi Compagnone, infatti, la accusò in un articolo su Il Tempo di perversione sessuale per aver parlato di "buchi" riferendosi all'opera dell'artista.

La collaborazione della giovane critica con Il Centro la rese protagonista di cicli di conferenze e dibattiti culturali, al fianco del già citato Giulio Carlo Argan, dello scrittore Umberto Eco, del musicologo Luigi Rognoni e del critico e accademico Gillo Dorfles. Tra gli artisti coinvolti: Lucio Fontana, Giuseppe Capogrossi, Emilio Vedova, Mario Sironi, Massimo Campigli, Ottone Rosai, Umberto Mastroianni, e autori stranieri come Henri Matisse, George Braque, René Magritte, Hans Hartung, Toshimitsu Imai, Francis Bacon e Graham Sutherland. Sempre in questo ambito, nacque la rivista di critica d'arte contemporanea Op.cit., diretta da Renato De Fusco, il cui primo numero uscì nel settembre del 1964 e alla cui redazione prese parte anche Lea Vergine.

Nel 1965 presentò presso Il Centro la mostra sul MID (Mutamento, Immagine, Dimensione), un gruppo di sperimentatori visivi che in quell'occasione presentarono la loro dichiarazione poetica e programmatica. Antonio Barrese, membro del MID, ricorda: "Lea Vergine (...) è stata in qualche modo la nostra vestale". L'ultima mostra curata da Vergine presso Il Centro, nella nuova sede di via Carducci, fu Napoli '25/'33, nel 1971. La collettiva nasceva con l'intento di riportare alla luce artisti attivi a Napoli durante il Fascismo, emarginati a causa della loro opposizione politica al regime e alle loro ricerche controcorrente. Lea Vergine ricostruì una storiografia critica che per molti decenni «rimarrà un manifesto contro l'emarginazione culturale di questa città, capitale rimossa e auto-rimossa nella più ampia narrazione della storia dell'arte italiana del XX secolo». In occasione della mostra venne pubblicato un catalogo da Il Centro Edizioni con fotografie di Mimmo Jodice e Rocco Pedicini e il progetto grafico di Bruno Di Bello.

A metà anni Sessanta iniziò a fare la spola tra Napoli e Roma, dove prese in affitto un appartamento nei pressi di Piazza Navona. Nella capitale poté approfondire il suo rapporto con Giulio Carlo Argan e fare la conoscenza di Palma Bucarelli, direttrice della Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna, di Rossana Rossanda, di Bruno Zevi e Fabio Mauri. Iniziò una collaborazione con Radio3, il canale dedicato alla cultura della Rai, intervistando autori e raccontando le mostre in corso. A Roma frequentò inoltre diversi artisti, tra i quali il gruppo di Piazza del Popolo, ma anche numerose gallerie come La Tartaruga, L'Attico o Galleria Pogliani.

Nel 1964 Argan la invitò a progettare e dirigere la rivista d'avanguardia Lineastruttura. In questa occasione conobbe Enzo Mari, coinvolto da Argan per curarne la grafica. La rivista nasceva come rassegna trimestrale per offrire al pubblico un dibattito sulle nuove tendenze del contemporaneo nell'ambito di architettura e design. Vi parteciparono personalità della critica d'arte come Achille Bonito Oliva, Palma Bucarelli, Gillo Dorfles e Filiberto Menna. Vennero pubblicati solo due numeri tra il 1966 e il 1967 editi dalla casa editrice napoletana Diaframma.

Anni milanesi
Nel 1966 si trasferì a Milano. Silvana Mauri, editrice della Bompiani, la ingaggiò per presentare un libro di Harold Rosenberg insieme a Umberto Eco e al collezionista Giuseppe Panza di Biumo. A partire da questi anni, l'attività critica di Vergine si consolidò tramite collaborazioni più assidue con testate di settore, tra cui la rivista di cultura contemporanea transdisciplinare Marcatrè, fondata da Eugenio Battisti, Domus e Data, rivista d'arte contemporanea diretta da Tommaso Trini. Su incarico dell'editor Giancarlo Bonacina, curò la sezione artistica dell'Almanacco Bompiani per le edizioni del 1968 e del 1969. Continuò la sua collaborazione con Radio3 e iniziò a firmare articoli per periodici e quotidiani come Il tempo illustrato, Paese sera e per la rivista internazionale d'arte d'avanguardia Metro, su invito dell'amico Gillo Dorfles. Scrisse recensioni di mostre e libri per il settimanale La Fiera letteraria e per linus rivista mensile di fumetti. Negli anni successivi intraprese collaborazioni durature con testate giornalistiche nazionali come il manifesto e Il Corriere della sera.

A Milano, curò alcune mostre per la Galleria Apollinaire di Guido Le Noci, per il Naviglio di Renato Cardazzo e la Galleria Milano di Carla Pellegrini, dove nel 1969 inaugurò Irritarte. Appunti per un'analisi delle comunicazioni irritanti Vi erano esposte le opere di Ay-O, Gianfranco Baruchello, Gerardo Di Fiore, Bernard Höke, Tetsumi Kudo, Otto Muehl, Gianni Pisani, Alina Szapocznikow e Curt Stenvert, «oggetti dissacratori e irritanti (nel profondo)» accomunati dalla sfida alle convenzioni sociali. Il titolo della mostra nasceva dalla scelta di esporre opere che suscitassero nello spettatore un senso di smarrimento, generando orrore e riflessioni sulla morte. La sera dell'inaugurazione Otto Muehl eseguì di fronte al pubblico una performance (documentata dalle fotografie di Ugo Mulas), ricoprendo di liquidi e sostanze alimentari l'assistente della galleria. La mostra scatenò forti critiche per la crudezza delle opere esposte, come testimoniano le parole del giornalista Cesare Garboli su Il Mondo: «Quando esci […] finita la visita, in cerca di un tassì, non sai che cosa ti abbia depresso di più, se il raccapriccio delle novità rivoltanti, scandalose, o una pietà decrepita, al contrario, domestica e volgare».

Body art
Di Lea Vergine è fondamentale il contributo allo studio della Body art.  Sulla scia della mostra Irritarte del 1969,  pubblicò nel 1974 il "libro-culto" Il corpo come linguaggio. La Body art e storie simili (Prearo Editore), col quale teorizzava nuove forme di espressione artistica che mettevano al centro la corporeità, l'azione autolesionista e l'esperienza dell'espiazione del dolore. In un'intervista con Daniela Palazzoli, offre una lettura psicologica della Body art, descrivendola come emotiva e liberatoria; le azioni sono scariche di emotività volte a sovvertire una scala di strutture e valori tipicamente occidentali. Il volume fu accolto con interesse dalla critica e recensito, tra gli altri, da Giulio Carlo Argan e Lucy R. Lippard.  Vergine vi individua i precedenti della Body art nelle pratiche di artisti visivi che già negli anni Cinquanta avevano utilizzato il corpo come mezzo d'espressione, come Jackson Pollock o il Gruppo Gutai, fino ad arrivare alle performance di Piero Manzoni, Yves Klein, Fluxus, alle sperimentazioni teatrali del Living Theatre e cinematografiche di Andy Warhol. Il corpo come linguaggio passa in rassegna performance e azioni di sessanta artisti tra cui Gina Pane, Gilbert & George, Urs Lüthi, Katharina Sieverding, Rebecca Horn, Trisha Brown, Günter Brus. Oltre al saggio introduttivo, il volume (pubblicato in italiano e inglese) comprende una raccolta di testi scritti dagli artisti stessi e una sostanziosa documentazione fotografica degli happening e delle performance. Nel 2000 il libro venne ripubblicato col titolo Body art e storie simili. Il corpo come linguaggio (Skira), con una nuova postfazione a firma di Lea Vergine e l'integrazione di artisti quali Orlan, Stelarc, Ron Athey, Franko B, Yasumasa Morimura, Jana Sterbak, Matthew Barney. Angelo Trimarco evidenzia così le differenze tra le due edizioni: "radicalizzando alcune cose che aveva detto nel 1974, mette in ombra il tema del corpo come linguaggio e invece accentua un altro tema, quello del corpo mistico, del corpo diffuso". Sempre nel 1974, Vergine curò insieme al critico Pierre Restany la mostra Eros come linguaggio alla Galleria Eros di Milano, invitando numerosi artisti italiani a fare il punto sulla situazione amorosa-erotica del tempo. Vi parteciparono: Giuseppe Desiato, Hidalgo, M. Orensanz, Ketty La Rocca, G.E. Simonetti, Fabio Mauri, Gianni Pisani, Giannetto Bravi, Adriano Altamira, Nagasawa, Emilio Isgrò, Giuseppe Trotta, Fernando Tonello, Baratella, Duccio Berti, Mimmo Rotella, Franco Ravedone, Neiman.

Nel 1975 scrisse il testo introduttivo per una cartella di opere grafiche realizzate da nove artiste italiane: Carla Accardi, Mirella Bentivoglio, Valentina Berardinone, Nilde Carabba, Tomaso Binga, Dadamaino, Amalia Del Ponte, Grazia Varisco e Nanda Vigo. La vendita di questo portfolio serviva a raccogliere fondi per la Libreria delle Donne che aveva appena aperto a Milano. Vergine ne sottolineava il valore politico: "che la guerra sia ancora aperta, che la rivolta continui, che una strategia rivoluzionaria femminista sia ancora oggi un obiettivo da mettere a punto, lo prova anche questa cartella che vede un gruppo di artiste compiere un gesto politico di solidarietà nei riguardi del movimento".

Nel 1976, pubblicò il volume Attraverso l'arte. Pratica politica. Pagare il '68 (Arcana Editrice), documentazione degli anni a cavallo del '68 dove raccolse scritti editi e inediti di: Gianni-Emilio Simonetti, Manfredo Massironi, Julio Le Parc, Piero Gilardi, Gabriele Devecchi, Daniel Buren, Davide Boriani e del compagno Enzo Mari.

Nello stesso anno pubblicò anche Dall'informale alla Body art. Dieci voci dell'arte contemporanea 1960/1970. Il volume propone, attraverso le voci di artisti e le loro opere, un excursus tra varie correnti come Informale, Body art, Arte Programmata, Poesia Visiva e Land art.

Nel 1976 partecipò con Renato Barilli a una performance di Luca Patella, presso la Galleria Palazzoli di Milano, dal titolo Presentazione & presente azione di una performance proiettiva di Luca, associata alla presentazione del suo libro Io sono qui/Avventura & cultura.

Principali mostre

L'altra metà dell'avanguardia
Lo stesso argomento in dettaglio: L'altra metà dell'avanguardia 1910-1940
La mostra L'altra metà dell'avanguardia 1910-1940. Pittrici e scultrici nei movimenti delle avanguardie storiche inaugurò il 16 febbraio-13 aprile 1980 a Palazzo Reale di Milano. Organizzata dal Comune di Milano e curata da Lea Vergine, la mostra indagava il lavoro delle artiste all'interno del panorama artistico delle avanguardie di inizio '900 ed è riconosciuta come una pietra miliare rispetto agli studi relativi a storia dell'arte e questioni di genere.

Arte programmata e cinetica
Palazzo Reale, Milano, 4 novembre 1983 - 27 febbraio 1984

Vergine si era avvicinata all'ambiente dell'arte cinetica grazie alla frequentazione con Giulio Carlo Argan e al compagno Enzo Mari. Aveva delineato una prima lettura critica degli esiti dell'arte programmata e cinetica nella rivista Lineastruttura, in seguito sviluppata nella conferenza dell'11 marzo 1973, nell'ambito del ciclo delle attività didattiche della Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna (1972-1973).

Nel 1983 curò la mostra collettiva Arte programmata e cinetica 1953/1963, L'ultima Avanguardia a Palazzo Reale di Milano. Le sue ricerche si focalizzarono sugli anni delle prime formulazioni teoriche del movimento, che riteneva i più significativi. Secondo Vergine «fu l'ultima volta che un gruppo internazionale di artisti propose un programma e un modello di cultura e di pratica del far arte alternativo», considerando il movimento molto più che un'esaltazione della scienza e della tecnologia, dal momento che rifondava il rapporto tra individuo e società.

La mostra dedicava una sezione introduttiva a Futuristi, Astrattisti, Costruttivisti. Il nucleo centrale accoglieva le opere degli artisti principali del movimento cinetico, tra cui quelle del Gruppo T, del Gruppo N, che analizzavano con sistematicità i fenomeni della percezione. Si concludeva con i lavori di artisti come Enrico Castellani, Dadamaino, Jean Tinguely, che, pur conducendo ricerche affini agli esponenti dell'arte programmata, si differenziavano nei procedimenti e nelle finalità artistiche.

Carol Rama
Sagrato del Duomo, Milano, 29 maggio - 28 luglio 1985

1985, Vergine curò la prima retrospettiva di Carol Rama, organizzata dal Comune di Milano e allestita dall'architetto Achille Castiglioni nel mezzanino della metropolitana sotto il Sagrato del Duomo. Vergine aveva già inserito l'artista tra le protagoniste de L'altra metà dell'avanguardia 1910-1940. Con questa mostra a presentò una parte cospicua della produzione dell'artista lungo l'intero arco della sua attività, insieme a documenti e oggetti provenienti dalla sua casa studio di Torino. L'operazione contribuì in maniera significativa a diffondere il lavoro di Rama, la cui prima mostra personale, allestita nel 1945 presso l'Opera pia Cucina malati poveri di Torino, venne chiusa dai nazisti per oltraggio al pudore.

Il catalogo della mostra, raccoglie i contributi di Lea Vergine, dello scrittore Giorgio Manganelli, del musicologo Massimo Mila, del poeta Edoardo Sanguineti, un'antologia critica raccolta da Corrado Levi e un inedito "omaggio a Carol Rama" del compositore Luciano Berio.

Partitions/Opere multimedia
Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea di Milano, 29 novembre 1985 –13 gennaio 1986

Partitions/Opere multimedia 1984-85 è la mostra personale dell'artista francese Gina Pane curata da Lea Vergine, che inaugurò nel 1985 al Padiglione d'arte contemporanea di Milano (PAC). L'esposizione fu organizzata in collaborazione con il Centre National des Arts Plastiques (FIACRE) del Ministero della Cultura francese e con il Centre Culturel Français di Milano. L'allestimento fu curato da Marco Albini e Franca Helg. Vergine considerava l'artista "una protagonista di primissimo piano, se non la protagonista in assoluto della body art". Al PAC Vergine prese in esame la produzione recente dell'artista selezionando opere successive al 1981, anno che segnò la conclusione del ciclo delle sue performance e l'inizio delle «partizioni», un termine di cui spiegò il significato nel catalogo: «Partizioni come l'atto del dividere, del ripartire, del mélanger forme, materiali, colori, talvolta sonorizzazioni o suoni; ma partizione anche come partitura musicale che include la lettura e l'interpretazione dell'opera da parte di chi guarda».

Nella balconata superiore del PAC furono esposte undici opere di grande formato composte da materiali eterogenei come disegni, oggetti trovati, fotografie di azioni, bicchieri e giocattoli. In questi assemblaggi il corpo dell'artista era sparito, «c'è l'evocazione del corpo. Gina Pane si è tolta dalla scena e il suo corpo si è diffuso». Nel catalogo della mostra sono pubblicati il saggio della curatrice dal titolo Il corpo diffuso, il testo "Couleur-blessure" di Giorgio Manganelli, un'intervista con l'artista e un'antologia critica.

Geometrie dionisiachein Italia
Rotonda della Besana, Milano, maggio - settembre 1988

La mostra Geometrie dionisiache: in Italia oggi l'arte giovane si tenne da maggio a settembre 1988 presso la Rotonda della Besana di Milano. La rassegna, curata da Lea Vergine e allestita da Achille Castiglioni, si focalizzò su ventitré giovani artisti, nati tra il 1955 e il 1960 circa, che durante la metà degli anni Ottanta operavano utilizzando un vocabolario di forme astratte o geometriche. Vergine spiegò nel catalogo che il titolo della mostra derivava dall'ampio uso di geometria, «geometria bizzarra e disobbediente però, anomala, litigiosa, esaltata spesso da una componente dionisiaca». Ciascuno degli artisti invitati aveva un punto di vista differente rispetto al tema trattato. La novità di queste ricerche risiedeva nel non puntare a ripristinare l'astratto o l'informale, ma nell'intenzione di rielaborarli in base alla propria pratica, facendo emergere nuovi stili eterogenei.

Artisti: Massimo Antonaci, Stefano Arienti, Angelo Barone, Luigi Carboni, Manlio Caropreso, Lucilla Catania, Antonio Catelani, Fabrizio Corneli, Alex Corno, Daniela De Lorenzo, Antonio Di Palma, Aldo Ferrara, Carlo Guaita, Eduard Habicher, Marco Lodola, Marco Mazzucconi, Silvio Merlino, Nunzio, Claudio Palmieri, Luca Quartana, Maurizio Turchet, Antonio Violetta, Alfredo Zelli.

Trash
Palazzo delle Albere, Trento, Archivio del '900, Rovereto, 11 settembre 1997 - 11 gennaio 1998

Trash. Quando i rifiuti diventano arte, inaugurata l'11 settembre 1997 nelle due sedi museali del MART di Trento e Rovereto, venne presentata dalla curatrice Lea Vergine come una "sfilata, uno sbandamento di apparizioni, di metafore e di epifanie memoriali" che partiva dall'inizio del Novecento fino alle ricerche degli anni Novanta. La mostra presentava un tono "eccentrico, necrofilo, ironico, drammatico, [...] giocoso e segnato da leggerezza e garbo", come scrive Gabriella Belli nel catalogo. Punto d'incontro nelle ricerche degli artisti invitati era l'impiego del rifiuto, tradotto con il termine inglese "trash", nell'ambito di architettura, arte, cinema, danza e musica. La tematica dell'oggetto di recupero era già stata affrontata durante l'inizio del XX secolo, come nel Merzbau (1923-1948) di Kurt Schwitters o nellOrinatoio (1917) di Marcel Duchamp, con lo scopo di rendere 'arte' anche materiali meno eleganti. Durante il Novecento furono diverse le motivazioni che spinsero gli artisti verso i materiali di scarto, dalla denuncia sociale fino alla semplice ironia, e che portarono alla nascita di una cultura di ciò che è solitamente considerato brutto o inutile.

Il percorso della mostra proponeva una serie di oggetti che, estratti dal loro contesto originario e trasformati in opere d'arte, raccontavano una storia. L'artista quindi aveva il compito di mostrare come, in uno spazio predefinito, l'oggetto e il materiale di scarto acquisiscono un altro valore. Tra le opere si vennero a creare delle relazioni tra il grottesco e il sacro, tra il romantico e l'ironico, "l'immondizia può essere illuminante", afferma Vergine nel catalogo.

D'Ombra
Palazzo delle Papesse - Centro arte contemporanea, 14 ottobre 2006 - 07 gennaio 2007, MAN Museo d'arte della Provincia di Nuoro, Nuoro, 26 gennaio 2007 - 06 maggio 2007

La mostra D'ombra fu concepita da Lea Vergine per il Palazzo delle Papesse di Pisa e il MAN Museo d'arte della Provincia di Nuoro. Vergine raccolse le opere di quaranta artisti che si erano occupati del tema dell'ombra, di esperienze al limite tra mondo fisico e mondo magico, o tali da evidenziare la parte segreta di persone e oggetti. Nel catalogo della mostra descrive così la scelta del tema: «nelle ombre si possono proiettare i miraggi, le visioni, le paure, i desideri, il non detto; persone che non abbiamo mai conosciuto, luoghi dove non siamo mai stati, riverberi di situazioni e di accadimenti magari mai vissuti: in breve, sogni. E un sogno è un sogno, non è un'illusione. Forse troverete il tema un po' singolare. Lo è.»

Un altro tempo
MART Museo di arte moderna e contemporanea di Trento e Rovereto, Rovereto, 22 settembre 2012 - 13 gennaio 2013

Un altro tempo. Tra Decadentismo e Modern style è la mostra curata da Lea Vergine al MART di Rovereto nel 2013, in collaborazione con la curatrice Francesca Giacomelli. Gli artisti presenti in mostra facevano parte di un gruppo di "grandi eccentrici", come li definisce Vergine, attivi a Londra, nel quartiere di Bloomsbury, nel periodo compreso tra la fine degli anni Dieci e gli anni Trenta del XX secolo. Ciò che accomunava queste figure era l'intento di sovvertire i canoni vittoriani a favore della diffusione di un linguaggio moderno. Le opere esposte celebravano questo mondo eccentrico e non convenzionale, fondato sugli intrecci: «non ci sono capolavori nella mostra, ma c'è una rete di tessuti di scambi, di prese a prestito, di declinazioni nuove». L'allestimento, pensato da Antonio Marras e curato da Paolo Bazzani, aveva come fine quello di trasportare lo spettatore ad immergersi in un'atmosfera rétro attraverso sculture, dipinti, libri, disegni, grafica editoriale, fotografia, arredi; ma anche tessuti e gioielli.

In occasione della mostra fu pubblicato il volume Un altro tempo. Tra Decadentismo e Modern Style, contenente un testo della curatrice e le schede bio-bibliografiche degli autori e gruppi esposti: Hilda Doolittle, Ezra Pound, John Maynard Keynes, Lytton Strachey, Roger Eliot Fry, Omega Workshop, Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant, Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, Vorticismo, i Sitwell, Cecil Beaton, e William Walton.

Attività giornalistica
La produzione editoriale di Lea Vergine è stata raccolta in antologie come Parole sull'arte (Il Saggiatore, 2008), che compendia alcuni suoi saggi, presentazioni in catalogo, articoli, recensioni e interviste pubblicati dal 1965 al 2007; Ininterrotti transiti (Rizzoli, 2001), che raccoglie i suoi scritti dal 1987 al 2000; e La vita, forse l'arte (Archinto, 2014), che riunisce la produzione di Vergine dal 2000 al 2013. È dagli articoli presenti in questi volumi che si desumono testate e periodi di collaborazione che Vergine ha intrattenuto con le stesse durante gli anni.

Ha lavorato con riviste di settore: Op.cit. (1964 - 1965); Marcatrè (1965-1967); Lineastruttura (1966 - 1967); Metro (1968 - 1970); L'uomo e l'arte (dicembre 1971); Art and Artist (giugno 1973); Data (1976 - 1978); Domus (1976 - 2007); linus (agosto 1977); Modo (1977); Alfabeta (luglio/agosto 1983); Il Giornale dell'Arte (dicembre 1992).

Duratura la collaborazione con i quotidiani Il manifesto (1980 - 2013), il relativo inserto culturale Alias (1999 - 2010); con il Corriere della sera (1988 - 2005), e i rispettivi supplementi L'architettura (1972 - 1977) e Abitare (aprile 2009).

Ha scritto, inoltre, per riviste di cultura e società: L'Europa letteraria (1965); L'Europeo (3 novembre 1978); Tuttolibri (1980 - 1989) supplemento domenicale del quotidiano La Stampa; Panorama (1981 - 1988); L'illustrazione Italiana (agosto 1986); Vanity Fair (1990 - 1991).

Riconoscendo i meriti della sua lunga carriera di critica e curatrice, nel 2013, l'Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera conferì a Lea Vergine il Diploma Accademico Honoris Causa in Comunicazione e Didattica dell'arte e il titolo di Accademico d'Italia.

Morte
Nell'autunno del 2020 Lea Vergine e Enzo Mari suo marito contrassero il COVID-19 e morirono entrambi per le complicazioni dovute al virus: Enzo Mari si spense il 19 ottobre, Lea Vergine il giorno dopo. La coppia lascia una figlia, Meta.

Nel 2021 Francesca Alfano Miglietti ha curato, presso il Palazzo Reale di Milano, la mostra Corpus Domini. Dal corpo glorioso alle rovine dell'anima, nata in collaborazione con Vergine prima della sua scomparsa. La prima sala dell'esposizione è stata quindi dedicata alla memoria della critica d'arte e alla sua ricerca sulla Body art, tramite materiali d'archivio, cataloghi e video.

While you're visiting properties, weighing pros and cons and evaluating neighborhoods, you'll need to take a step back and carefully consider what home makes the most sense for you financially. Foreclosure is emotionally and financially devastating, but for the most part, it can be prevented with forethought and planning.
So, what is foreclosure? Simply put, foreclosure is a financial process where the lender reclaims a home from the borrower because of an inability to make payments. The immediate implication is the loss of your home and property, but the ripple effects – like a hit to your credit score, inability to purchase a home for five to seven years, and emotional distress – can be felt for years.
United Housing is committed to helping Memphians achieve homeownership. But beyond that, we want to help our neighbors remain in their homes and build wealth. Here's what you can do before you buy to help prevent foreclosure.
Fully understanding the cost of owning a home can help you better determine how much money you can afford to spend on a home, consequently preventing you from overextending yourself financially. Homebuyer Education courses, provided by organizations like United Housing, paint a holistic picture of the homebuying process and the costs associated with buying and maintaining a home. If you've already purchased a home, it's not too late! We can still help you through our Post-Purchase Homeowner Education classes.
Once you know how much homeownership costs, you can build a budget to ensure you have the money needed to cover your mortgage payment. United Housing's HBE course helps you start the process, providing you with the tools you need to lay out your expenses and set your spending priorities.
Simply put – life happens. Even sound budgets can be shattered when economies change, babies are born or jobs are lost. Having a solid savings account will leave you time to reallocate your funds without missing payments on your mortgage.
What to do if you're facing foreclosure?
If your mortgage payments are mounting, seeking help early can keep you in your home. UHI offers foreclosure counseling where our team of caring, trained professionals can help you evaluate your options. You don't have to lose your home, and we can help you find a solution.


The very latest food research reveals that it's not just what you eat, it's what you eat it with that really matters for good nutrition.
Which means that knowing how to pair certain foods with each other can help boost your absorption of nutrients – and ramp up the health benefits.
Why : Wine lovers rejoice – a little vino may help your body soak up the heart and brain boosting omega-3 fats found in oily fish.
Why: Including 3-5g of fat such as olive oil with foods rich in carotenoids – the disease-fighting antioxidants that give orange and red foods their colour – can help boost our absorption of these nutrients.
Try it: Tuck into a tasty Greek salad drizzled with olive oil, or slow roast cherry tomatoes in olive oil for an hour for a delicious accompaniment to fish or meat.
Why: You'd be hard pushed to find a food that packs in more immune-boosting vitamin A than sweet potatoes. But absorbing it without enough zinc – found in rich supply in meats such as chicken thigh – is almost impossible.
Why: Not only do these berries taste great together, they also boost the uptake of the disease-fighting antioxidants contained in them.
Why: Oats are a rich source of soluble fibre which can help lower cholesterol and prevent plaque building up in the arteries, while blueberries are packed with vitamin C making them a powerful superfood on their own.
Why : Kansas State University scientists found that the antioxidants in herbs, in particular rosemary, could limit the formation of carcinogenic compounds called heterocyclic amines, which are created when red meat is fried or barbecued at very high temperatures.
Why : Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric – the super spice health experts are obsessing about that's been shown to possess powerful anti-inflammatory properties.
Why : Brightly coloured vegetables are rich in plant pigments known as phytochemicals that may help fight heart disease, eye cataracts and cancer.
Try it : Add whole or sliced almonds and/or avocado slices to liven up a bowl of salad leaves.
Why : These Christmas favourites are nutrition powerhouses – packed with goodness including high levels of vitamin K, which regulates blood clotting in our bodies and is important for bone health.
Why: When eaten together, pepper and kidney beans help boost your body's intake of energy-boosting iron from veggie sources.
Why: Milk is a rich source of calcium – important for healthy bones, teeth and muscle function.
Why: Research shows that when you add a food containing a reasonable amount of vitamin D to a calcium-rich food, you absorb about 60% more of the calcium.

Did you know that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently weakened and rolled back important regulations on nursing homes? This is unnecessary and puts residents at increased risk of abuse and danger.
In September of 2016, under the former Obama Administration, CMS had thoughtfully revised the regulations to increase nursing home residents' health and safety. These revised regulations were to be rolled out over the coming years. Under the current administration, however, CMS is bending to the nursing home lobbyists to strategically weaken or eliminate the revised regulations and to significantly reduce monetary penalties for nursing homes that violate the law. This is disturbing, particularly when nursing home abuses on residents are far too often making news headlines and regulations are already under supervised. This trend is also bad news for all Americans, and particularly older Americans, people with disabilities needing high levels of skilled care, and for family, friends and loved ones who care for our elders.
Residents benefit from early care planning and antibiotic standards, but CMS created an 18-month moratorium on money penalties for violations of these requirements.
Arbitration agreements are harmful to residents, but CMS proposes to reverse a ban on arbitration agreements and instead authorize nursing homes to require them.
A new regulation requires nursing homes to notify a local ombudsman whenever they move to evict a resident, but now CMS has requested comments on how they might eliminate that requirement.
For more informative materials tracking CMS' actions under the current Administration, see Justice in Aging's "Fighting the Rollback of Nursing Home Protections".

Media Release, Uncategorized
Hermann Kelly, founder of Ireland's new political party Irexit Freedom to Prosper Party, said that his party is pro-life and that abortion is a "stain on the name of Ireland that should be removed."
"As no nation has a future without children, as a patriotic party we are pro-natalist and supportive of stable families for the procreation, education and rearing of children," Kelly told LifeSiteNews in an exclusive interview.
"The barbarism of abortion, and the general cheapening of life at its beginning and end is a stain on the name of Ireland that should be removed," he added.
Just as with Brexit in the United Kingdom, Irexit is in favour of Ireland leaving the EU. Unlike almost all British and Irish political parties, however, Irexit is unashamedly pro-life.
Kelly spoke to LifeSiteNews about the current Irish political and cultural landscape and what contribution his political party can make to a revival in more pro-life, pro-family politics in today's Ireland.

Well I've truly regarded on the bill. First, I may argue that each single person is NOT entitled to health care or anything else for that matter, however lets put that apart for the moment and let's just say you're right. This invoice H.R. 3590, isn't just an insurance reform bill that forestalls folks from being dropped and FORCES insurance coverage corporations to cover of us with pre-existing conditions. The insurance reforms in this bill are perhaps 5 pages of the 2700 within the invoice. If all this invoice did was reform insurance legal guidelines, I believe it would have had broad bi-partisan support.

Why Is USPS Address Verification So Important?


Shopping for a new car? If you're in the market and have decided to purchase rather than lease, you'll find several financing options, including dealers are offering low-rate loans or cash-back rebates.
Dealers' low-rate loans and rebates almost always are available only on slower-selling models. These cars may have lower resale values.
Dealers' low-rate loans can have bigger prepayment penalties and can require bigger down payments.
Dealer financing plans usually are limited to dealer stock. That means you may have to sacrifice the color, style, and/or options you want. Unwanted options can add 25% to 30% to the sticker price of your car.
In the final analysis, you may be better off with conventional auto financing from your credit union. Visit your credit union first to explore its financing options.
Plan A The low rates most dealers advertise are for short-term loans. For example, one dealer offers 1.9% financing, but that's only available on two-year loans. A new $30,000 car with a $5,000 down payment (10% down) will require financing $25,000.
This translates to an astounding $1,062 monthly payment—out of reach for most buyers. The same dealer offers other options, which become less attractive as the loan term lengthens. The dealer's three-year loan has a 4.9% rate, while its five-year loan has a 5.9% rate, and its six-year loan has a 6.9% rate. Financing $25,000 on your $30,000 car at the dealer's 5.9% rate for five years results in a monthly payment of $482—a more realistic outlay for many consumers' budgets.
Plan B On the other hand, if you choose the dealer's rebate plan, you forego their low-interest-rate loan, but get a $2,500 cash rebate. By adding the rebate to your down payment, you'll reduce the amount you need to finance to $22,500. Then check out the credit union's auto loans to find the best rates and terms.
So which alternative is best for you—the dealer's low-rate loan or the credit union's loan with the dealer's cash-back offer? Use this calculator to find out. Fill in all six fields before you hit calculate.

New in 2019: Princess Yachts gives us Princess Y85, V78 and F45
LVMHflybridgenew in 2019princess yachtssport cruisersuperyacht
Three new models for the UK shipyard: they debuted in Düsseldorf and are ready to reach the best marinas. From Princess Yachts here's Y85, V78 and F45.
Princess Y85: the contemporary motoryacht
Designed by Princess Yachtsin collaboration with long-time partner Princess Yachtsand Italian styling house Princess Yachts, the new Y85 joins the other models in the range, Y75 and Y88. The exteriors differ from the largest sibling, combining a sculptural elegance and simplicity of forms thanks to straight lines and square windows.
Inside there's four cabins with en-suites and a crew area for three, while the main deck features large convivial areas, plus a partially-separate galley (it can turn between an open and an one at the touch of a button) and even a day toilet.
It's on the sun deck though where guests will prefer to stay during cruising: a large dining area sits opposite a wet bar, barbecue and fridge, further complemented by a large aft sunpad and forward-facing seating either side of the helm position. A hard-top is optional. Among the amenities, beside the refined details hand crafted in Plymouth, there's a Naim audio system for the exterior spaces.
Princess Y85 is pushed by two MAN V12 engines and the yard claims a top speed north of 30 knots and a 13% efficiency improvement. on the previous model.
Princess V78: grace, space and pace
Ok, the words come from a '60s Jaguar, but they perfectly fit to our V78, the new flagship of the V line-up by Princess Yachts: sport coupes with much attention to luxury, as you can expect from a brand part of LVMH Group.
The dynamic qualities granted by the low center of gravity match the performance given by two MAN V12 units which push the Princess V78 to 39 knots.
The exterior look is unmistakably Princess, and keeps in particular the V-range family feeling in the side window design. An ample cockpit, made to be enjoyed all the time (the galley is in the back), leads via sliding doors into a bright main saloon, which can be opened up further thanks to the generous sunroof.
Below deck there's four cabins with en-suites and additional space for one crew.
Princess F45 Flybridge: dynamism where needed
As compared to the smallest of the Flybridge range F43, the new Princess F45 sports a totally different look, definitely more contemporary.
It's more dynamic and even more up to date with the actual family feeling of the brand. Yes, once again it's the side windows we're thinking of. The square lines deliver class-leading living space with a focus on the main deck: the galley is aft, towards the cockpit, and the latter features an optional electronic sliding transom couch to give priority to the table or the swim platform, at the touch of a button.
In the engine room there's space for two Volvo units coupled to IPS 600 transmissions. Princess Yachts' construction, which uses vacuum-infused resin, grants stiffness and weight saving and allow a top speed of 31 knots. The two cabins belowdecks are very large, with the master taking the full beam, and both feature their own bathroom.

Of the upcoming album releases of 2017, Swift's is one of the most anticipated, due her popularity. When it was released in October 2014, 1989 became one of the quickest selling albums in years, selling over a million copies in its first week. By the end of 2015, 1989 had sold over five million copies in the United States alone. The pressure from her label to release something new must be enormous, despite the fact that Swift said she would be taking time off from music. Of course, she also told Vogue "I'm always going to be writing songs, the thing is, with me, I could very well come up with three things in the next two weeks and then jump back into the studio and all of a sudden the next record is started. That's an option, too."
It's starting to look like her creative juices may have interrupted her sabbatical from music.
A New Track Appears!
Earlier this month, we got our first taste of new Taylor Swift music in some time. "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" is the first song to be released from the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack. The track brings together Zayn Malik (formerly of One Direction) and Taylor Swift for a slow electro jam that fits the tone of the film. Co-written by Swift, hip hop artist Sam Dew and regular Swift collaborator Jack Antonoff, this slow jam is definitely doing well, as the song sold over 200 000 copies in the first week of its release!
Waiting is the Hardest Part
But what about a new Taylor Swift album? What do we know about it? Unfortunately, right now, there's not a heck of a lot to go on. There is no Taylor Swift songs list available, nor is there a release date or title. There are rumors that the upcoming songs of Taylor Swift will have a bit of an R&B flavor to it, which wouldn't be surprising given the sound of "I Don't Wanna Live Forever." There are also a ton of rumors swirling around that guest appearances for the new album could include Drake and Ariana Grande, both of whom would sound great on a Taylor Swift album. But alas, nothing concrete has emerged and probably won't for some time.

I am going to use my previous site as the adoptable human game.
This is a website for those who are wanting to adopt humans and humanoid hybrids and such.
the current artwork hasnt been done for the site yet, but all I can tell you is that some animal artwork has been done by BTD, a moderator of Hewan.
Humans get too old to breed and produce offspring at 60+ years of age.
Humanoids get too old to breed and produce offspring at 80+ years of age.
Anthros get too old to breed and produce offspring at 70+ years of age.
Furries get too old to breed and produce offspring at 50+ years of age.
Animatronics and Robots never get too old to breed and produce offspring, however, when they do get old age, that is over 90+ years, you'll have to buy batteries to help them function properly, since there machines.
Inbreeding is more likely not to happen within Animatronics or Robots.
For Animatronics and Robots, they give birth to 1-2 offsprings at a time, due to them requiring power in their battery system to give birth.
Anthros and Furries however only give birth to 3-4 offsprings at a time.
Humanoids only give birth to 5-6 offsprings at a time.
Humans can give offsprings up to over 7 newborns at a time.
We wont have many adoptable animals on our site, mainly humans.

Low-Cost Dynamic Model Capture For Buildings
A fundamental problem in the design of closed-loop Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is in accurately capturing the dynamics of the underlying physical system. In the context of modeling buildings to improve their energy efficiency, the modeling difficulty arises due to the fact that each building is designed and used in a different way and therefore, it has to be uniquely modeled (Heterogeniety). Furthermore, each building system consists of a large number of interconnected Heating Ventilation and Air conditioning (HVAC) subsystems which interact in a complex manner and are subjected to time varying environmental conditions (Complexity).
Small and medium sized buildings constitute more than 90% of the commercial buildings stock in the United States, but only about 10% of such buildings are equipped with a building automation systems. The market penetration of intelligent building control will only increase if the cost of capturing the building models is reduced.
IMpACT: Inverse Model Accuracy and Control Performance Toolbox for Buildings
IMpACT is a methodology and a toolbox for analysis of uncertainty propagation for building inverse modeling and controls. Given a plant model and real input data, IMpACT automatically evaluates the effect of the uncertainty propagation from sensor data to model accuracy and control performance. It also utilizes non parametric statisticals method to quantify the uncertainty in the sensor measurements and to determine near optimal sensor placement and density for accurate signal measurements.
Optimal experiment design for building modeling
The information content in the data used for model training may vary because of the measurement process and system's operation. Data with high information content with respect to parameters to be estimated should yield more accurate estimates and result in a better model. Moreover, we want to avoid running experiments/functional tests in a building longer than necessary. The goal of this work is to successfully automate the model training procedure and find the optimal input signal trajectory which maximizes the information about the model parameters subject to operational constraints.
Data-driven building model capture
Observing the actual building rather than a simulation of the building will move the advanced HVAC system automation much closer to reality much faster, and at lower cost. This means starting with a generic description of the building, then adjusting the model behavior through customizable, adjustable parameters. Using re-enforecment learning methods, the predictions that are generated by the model become closer and closer to matching reality.

Disability and Health Unit
The DOMINO Dataset
Dr Sean Byars
sean.byars@unimelb.edu.au
A recent initiative by Department of Social Services (DSS) and Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) is the creation of a high quality longitudinal event-based dataset on social security payments in Australia, called Data On Multiple INdividual Occurrences (DOMINO).
In this project, we will be among the first researchers in Australia to use this high-quality dataset.
The history of restricted data access has hindered research on causal factors for transitioning on and off these supports and testing their effect on health and wellbeing of Australians. This type of research is critical for guiding and refining welfare policy. The ability to understand the effect of social policy on health is particularly timely with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) rollout and important to assess for people with disabilities, who are more likely to have lower levels of education, face higher unemployment, social exclusion, homelessness and levels of poverty and to be in receipt of social security. These are all factors that negatively impact the physical and mental health of people with disabilities.
DOMINO provides a unique opportunity to conduct high quality, high impact research on the life-course effect of income supports on Australians with disabilities. It contains event-based data on individual interactions with social security payments and DSS managed programs over time, whereas other well known commonly used datasets such as Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) and Multi-Agency Data Integration Project (MADIP) that contain data on income support services are either collected in yearly 'waves' or aggregated annually, which disrupts the ability to accurately test causal relationships between welfare and health outcomes.
Our key research aims with the DOMINO dataset are:
To identify inequalities in health for people with disabilities (and their carers) and how this varies by age, gender, education and area-based factors – detailed event-based data will allow new methods to be applied and more accurate and policy relevant causal associations to be derived.
Use changes to income support policies (i.e. disability support pension) as natural experiments to investigate the impact of these reforms on health and economic circumstances of people with disability.

Erik Spoelstra has no plans to coach any other team but the Miami Heat
MIAMI, FL - JANUARY 22: Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra looks on during a game against the Toronto Raptors at American Airlines Arena on January 22, 2011 in Miami, Florida.

Erik Spoelstra made it clear he plans to remain with the Miami Heat for the remainder of his career.
Spoelstra has been with no other franchise throughout his career, starting off as an assistant coach of the Heat in 1997. He led Miami to back-to-back titles in 2012 and 2013.
"[Team owner] Micky [Arison] and [team president] Pat [Riley] created this culture. Some people might think they need to venture out on their own to create their own image. I do not have any of those kind of feelings.
I feel a sense of purpose by carrying this culture on and this legacy to future teams. It's what I enjoy. It's what fills my cup up. I want to keep this going as long as I can. It doesn't feel like a job," Spoelstra said during an interview with Sirius XM NBA Radio, via Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.
