Collaborations
Gabriele Tinti has principally collaborated with the actor and director Michael Imperioli – well-known protagonist of the TV series The Sopranos – who wrote the text “Pride” for the book “New York Shots” and participated in a reading of the text “The Way of the Cross” at the Queens Museum of Art in 2011. “New York Shots” was both a book, an exhibit, and an event that, through boxing and art, reflected on the Italian-American experience in New York. Initiated in 2011, its visuals included work in collaboration with the photographer Howard Schatz. The exhibit took place at MACRO in Rome.

“The Way of the Cross,” curated by Tinti in December 2011 at the Queens Museum of Art in New York, included a reading by Michael Imperioli, the launch of the book of the same name – illustrated by Shaun El C. Leonardo – and the screening of a video edited in collaboration with the artist. The event was reproduced at the Boston Center for the Arts, the Triennale in Milan , Gleason’s Gym in New York during the DUMBO Arts Festival , and at Praxis International in Chelsea, New York. Both volumes were published by Allemandi&C.

“Day of the fight” is a text by Tinti from which an excerpt was read by Alessandro Haber.

“All Over” and “A man” were written with the artistic collaboration of Burt Young, whose illustrations are an artistic equivalent and accompaniment to the poems, and who read from them in person at the Queens Museum of Art and in a film directed by Michele Civetta. The book and the film were presented at the Queens Museum of Art during the reopening of the Museum, and at the South Bank Centre in London as part of its Special Edition Series.

In progress is a book entitled “Last Words”, written in collaboration with the sociologist Derrick de Kerchove.
