Vaste Program is an artistic duo born in 2017 from the meeting between Giulia Vigna (1992) and Leonardo Magrelli (1989). Their research focuses mainly on the issues of climate change and the ways in which technology is used by the mass public. Both themes are frequently analyzed through their presence within the iconosphere. Images, pictures and the visual field are indeed a constant reference, explored through post-photographic and installative approaches, using practices of appropriation, re-signification, detournement and quotation, often adding to it a veil of bitter irony. Their work has been exhibited, among others, at Palazzo Reale (Milan, 2023), Mattatoio (Rome, 2023), Manifattura Tabacchi (Florence, 2023), Camera - Centro italiano per la fotografia (Turin, 2023), Museo Civico G. Fattori (Livorno, 2023), Palazzo Lucarini (Trevi, 2023), Spazio In Situ (Rome, 2023), Fondazione Smart (Rome, 2022), Galleria 1/9unosunove (Rome, 2022), Viaraffineria (Catania, 2021), Fondazione Francesco Fabbri (Pieve di Soligo, 2021), Polycopies (Paris, 2021), Chiostri di San Domenico (Reggio Emilia, 2021), Palazzo Baldelli (Cortona, 2021), Etherea Gallery (Genoa, 2021), Musei Civici Eremitani (Padova, 2020), Unseen (Amsterdam, 2019), Odessa Museum Odessa, 2019).
