Is And Always Was
The event is part of the series I Pomeriggi dedicated to the Fellows.
Curated by Gabriel Stöckli (Fellow Roma Calling / Visual Arts, Sound).
At the invitation of Gabriel Stöckli, Nicola Tirabasso, aka VISIO, presents a live set accompanied by the presentation of a work in progress, a collaborative production between the two artists.
Through the manipulation of cassette players and audio cassettes, Stöckli and VISIO create a sound installation that weaves together DIY techniques, direct interventions, and compositional approaches characteristic of their respective practices.

Gabriel Stöckli (Mendrisio, 1991) lives and works in the Canton of Ticino. He is currently a fellow at Istituto Svizzero in Rome (2025/2026). He studied visual arts and curatorial studies at NABA in Milan. Since 2014 he has co-directed the non-profit space Sonnenstube in Lugano. He has taken part in several residency programmes, including the Cité Internationale des Arts (Paris, 2023). In the same year he published his first monograph on the occasion of the Cahiers d’Artistes award promoted by Pro Helvetia, published by Junglebooks, St. Gallen. He regularly exhibits in Switzerland and abroad, including: Studio Dabbeni, Lugano (2024), Karusell, Fermo (2024), La Regionale, Villa Ciani, Lugano (2023), Gelateria Sogni di ghiaccio (2021), Museo Hermann Nitsch, Naples (2021), Schwobhaus, Bern (2020), MAT, Neuchâtel (2019), Espace libre, Biel/Bienne (2018), La Triennale, Milan (2017), La Rada, Locarno (2016).
VISIO is the alias of musician and visual artist Nicola Tirabasso based in London. Both in music and visuals, his output investigates and explores the arcane tangents between reality and the unexplainable. Much like a modern antiquarian, he takes inspiration from a wide range of fictional imageries, repurposing them in an intricate, deconstructed, melancholically haunted music. In September 2022 the LP ‘Privacy Angels’ was released by Haunter Records and in January 2024 presented the solo exhibition “Fools Circel 9wys’ in Milan curated by Threes with the participation of Penny Rimbaud.
