The mixed-up exhibition
The exhibition opened on Friday 10th of February and will be up until March 10th c/o the Cantina Barbagianni, Via S. Egidio 13r, Firenze (map here).
The exhibition is an introduction to some of the most significant moments and examples of my works as a photographer, comprising Lomo and Holga prints, Polaroid reproductions on plexiglass panels, iPhoneography prints and so on…
See the dedicated page here for all the details.
PEOPLE I KNOW
My new book is finally available on Blurb as a pocket printed edition (unexpensive) and as an ebook as well.
The book collects a series of portraits of people I know and love, taken in more than one year.
All photos have been taken taken & processed with an iPhone and using the FXPhotoStudio app, making a few custom presets for these portraits.
Go see it for yourself at Blurb, and order your copy today!
Today, the International iPhoneography Show opens in New York
You should not miss this exhibition if you happen to be in New York.
I have been selected too!
[UPDATED] …and more exhibitions (Pixel This)
Pixel This - a Phoneography exhibition, runs from November 28 until December 3 at the Gallery on the Corner in Battersea Park, London - and I am one the photographers selected.
What makes this particularly special is that all the photographs will be auctioned off to raise money for Kids Company, an organization reaching 14,000 children across London providing practical, emotional and educational support to vulnerable inner-city children and young people.
The exhibition was created by CreateHive, a site dedicated to recognising photographers, film-makers, artists and creatives, to showcase their work to the general public.
Here is the list of exhibitors and if you are interested in a copy of the image above, you can find it here, here or here - but if you can, check out the exhibition and don’t forget to go to the auction on Friday December 2nd!
UPDATE: the auction has taken place and I am told my photo was auctioned for £90!
I would like to be able and personally thank the buyer.

Glitch & Pop-Art now have prints!
My experiments with glitch and pop-art on the iPhone (see my previous posts here, here and here) have taken me to a point where I am starting to feel confident enough to show them properly to the world.
I feel though these works need to be grouped in some kind of a different “section” and this is why I am not showing them on my Flickr stream, my main display window.
I have thus decided to showcase these new works on a totally different environment and have chosen various other places for this purpose (some not yet available to see), starting with two print shops: one for the US and one for EU.
Prints are available for sale in the shops listed bleow and according to where you live you might find them more convenient in one shop or the other.
There is a shop on Fine Art America (US) and one on Artflakes (EU); both seem to be producing very high quality prints, posters, cards, canvases and so on, so you might want to visit them to make your order!

Event: Ale Di Gangi guest at GGDToscana4
I have been invited as one of the guests for the 4th Tuscan GirlGeekDinner in Firenze on Saturday October 4th.
I am definitely thrilled to intervene and would like to thank the girls who so kindly invited me to talk about my experiences on Lomography, iPhoneography, videos and so on.
The event is open to girls only, and further details for signing up for the evening are about to be officially announced. If you are in Tuscany that day, you really should be there!

Experiments: Glitch & more (part 2)
This follows from my previous post titled “Glitch Thinking”.
I guess everything was triggered by a visit a few weeks ago at the Pecci Museum of Conteporary Art in Prato where I visited the interesting exhibition “LIVE! Art meets Rock”.
Of all things, a small Mao portrait made in 1973 by Andy Warhol, in front of which I spent the most part of my visit, acutely revived my fascination for Warhol and his Pop Art.
As a result, I am trying my hand at glitchey, pop-esque, grungey ways of assaulting some of my iPhone photos.
The photos of this post are to be considered as pure experimentation aimed at satisfying my… curiosity.
I still haven’t got the slightest hint about where this might lead me - or not at all…
I would love feedbacks and comments though.
Experiments: Glitch & more (part 1)
I am trying new ways of photoediting on iPhone/iPad.
Glitch art always fascinated me.
These are two experiments. I might do more.
