è ora di alzarsi (it's time to wake up), the title chosen by Hilary Lloyd for the XXVII CSAV at the Ratti foundation in Como, opens a vast field of possibilities. It may suggest a call to political action, an early morning unfocussed gaze, the passage from horizontality to verticality, different forms of engagement or disengagement, a prolonging of pleasure. Starting at the intersection among this peculiar mix has long been central to Lloyd’s work; artists will spend their time in Como inventing, exchanging and exploring courageous, bizarre and extraordinary ideas in meetings, workshops and seminars in and around Lake Como.
