General Information
Reporting System is an interdisciplinary association for contemporary art which promotes creative processes in public space. Founded in 2004 by Gennaro Castellano, artist and project manager, and Antonella Annecchiarico, a public administrator, it has worked since 1998 under the name of progettozingonia. Reporting System proposes and experiences the involvement of artists in direct relation with the territory, concentrating our attention on the topic of migration with the aim to create a convergence of visions and attempts on problems that interest society such as the territory, interpersonal relationships, the rights of citizenship and intercultural dynamics.

Mission and Objectives

The aims, focusing on particular topics like territory, society and intercultural issues, are to promote relationships between art and different spheres of knowledge involving members of the general public generally not connected to the system of contemporary art in cultural processes. Reporting System collaborates with other interdisciplinary groups and significant Italian cultural institutions which propose art and culture as a platform for discussion and listening. What characterises the researching work of Reporting System is the osmosis between art and society, in which art becomes a process that articulates new visions and interpretations with regards to problems of public interest. This double perspective of action and representation gives form and substance to the artistic research, and is based on the idea that art also feeds itself and benefits from its relation to society. Reporting System participates in meetings, workshops and international exhibitions such as the biennial of Seville in 2006.
