ExtraDry is an exhibition of video art born from the desire to draw contemporary art out from its usual expositive spaces and onto the walls at Dry, Via Solferino 33, and the new Dry, Viale Vittorio Veneto 28, in Milan.
The Gourmand is a biannual food and culture magazine founded in 2011 by David Lane and Marina Tweed. Each issue features commissioned works by talented writers, photographers, illustrators and set designers. The idea is to publish work that can be timeless, both in its content and in its physical quality.
The 8th issue of the magazine has a very special cover story, The Princess and the Pea, shot by the one and only Harry Peccinotti, the famous English photographer best known for his amazing erotic shots and for the Pirelli Calendars of the late 60’s.
The whole issue is dedicated to the art of entertaining through clever and catchy content, such as chef Alice Waters and her daughter’s story about their most beloved everyday objects, writer Laura Bradbury’s ideal table setting and creative director Kyle Hugall’s ode to the despised prawn cocktail, a food and culture reportage by Ben Chapman, a psychedelic trip into the world of olive oil by duo Baker & Evans and much more.

Following the ExtraDry project curated by Peep-Hole for three editions from 2013-2016, Case Chiuse arrives at Dry with a new format and presents StraightUp@ExtraDry, an award for young artists.
It was decided along with the founders of Dry to establish the StraightUp@ExtraDry award in order to give visibility to the creativity emerging from the extremely current research of young artists expressing themselves through video. As well as giving visibility to the artists, the award is designed to support future research by the videomakers by awarding three different prizes and the purchase of the winning piece.
The name Straight Up is a blend of English slang and bar vocabulary. It implies something honest and fresh that aims for the top, just like the synergy we wish to create between the award, the artists and their future.

Dry is defined by its strong contemporary feel. It offers the very best quality while remaining accessible and informal, making it an ideal location to exhibit video art and create a new kind of synergy between the work and the spectator. With the launch of Straight Up and its commitment to this kind of project since 2013, Dry proves once again that it is an ideal exhibition space for experimental video and offers a chance to expose contemporary art and the work of these young artists to a wider public.
