Interview: BVG – Jacopo Riccardi

  1. WHO ARE YOU AND HOW COME DID YOU DECIDE TO EXHIBIT AT THE RATATÀ FESTIVAL?

We are a recently founded collective of students from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna and from the IED in Milan and our name is BVG. We are Agnese, Alessio, wiktor maciej odron, Davide, Fagiani, Grillo, Pigna e Disordine. We decide to exhibit at Ratatà Festival because some of us visited it last year and we thought that it would be a good starting point to get ourselves known.

 

  1. HOW DID YOUR WORK START?

Some of us were already friends, while others met each other at the Academy. After getting to know each other’s style, we decided to start working together.

 

  1. HOW DO YOU WORK TO YOUR PROJECTS?

We are still at the beginning so we find it quite difficult to answer to this question! We go from comics to illustration, from painting to animation; each of us works very differently form the other.

 

  1. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM RATATÀ? WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IT TO YOUR “COLLEAGUES”?

We expect an opportunity to grow as a group as individuals in this kind of environment. Those amongst us who have already been here as visitors are already aware of the wide range of events in program and the advantaged offered to whoever would like to get inside the self-produced industry, so we would definitely recommend it to our “colleagues” and friends.
