If I were you, I’d call me Us is a long-term project that started from an idea by Elisa Strinna and was developed by the curator Elena Forin. The protagonists of this first stage of the project in the Galleria Massimodeluca are seven international artists: Ludovica Carbotta, Giovanni Ghiaietta, Shadi Haroun, Jakob&Manila, Kiyoto Koseki, Manuel Scano and Elisa Strinna. The title of the show is taken from a poem by Ogden Nash, one that alludes to the possibility of defining identities in a group form by going beyond the idea of indivisibility and by being receptive to diversity, discussion, the transversal, exchanges, or conflict. 

Marina Bastianello, the gallery's director, says that, "The idea of this project derives from Elisa Strinna's need to deepen her dialogue with some colleagues who she came to know during the years of her research. By starting from the necessity of creating a choral discourse based on diversity, we have aimed at giving a glimpse of contemporary reality, one characterised by a complexity that can be expressed through the voice of a single individual only with great difficulty. The result is a show conceived of as a dynamic system".
