Vice-president of Avision.it - a website and associazione culturale based in Bassano del Grappa and dedicated to analysis, comment and divulgation of contemporary photographic and video art. In 2006 we're organising "Selectedworks" - the first Video Art Award in Bassano, together with the town council's assessore alla cultura. The final show will be in August or September at Palazzo Bonaguro in Bassano. In 2005 we were partners of fuoribiennale - a counter-event held alongside the Venice Biennale.

Founding member of Sconfusion - a associazione culturale that aims to help and encourage people to embark on artistic trajectories. A number of on- and offline events are planned for 2006 onwards.

There's a small permanent "exhibition" of my backstage photos and portraits at the Nazionale, in Bassano. (But they're badly framed.)
