Giusi Laurino graduates in Philosophy in 1977 at the Federico II University in Naples, city where she undertakes an intense activity in publishing, communication and cultural promotion. In the Eighties she collaborates with important magazines of art, architecture and design and as a programme planner for the RAI centre in Campania. In the same years, she is interested in theatre and dance and, among other things, with Giuseppe Bartolucci she organizes the contemporary dance event New Dance USA New York-Vienna-Napoli.
Always sensitive in her activity as a cultural operator to experiences and initiatives that cross different creative areas and languages, in 1995 she opens the Factory of the Monday. So, a space and an association are born, that are committed to promotion and organization of artistic events and to projects that are chances of dialogue and debate between visual arts, handicraft and design.
The initiatives promoted by the Factory of the Monday were numerous, among many of them we can mention Artinmosaic, Palazzo Reale, 1996, Riccardo Dalisi, Sculptures, Palazzo Reale and Rua Catalana, 1997, The Holy Wood of art, Real Bosco di Capodimonte, 1999, the anthological exhibitions of Renato Barisani, 2000, and Lucio Del Pezzo, 2001, and the exposition European artistic dialogues - city of Naples (Daniela De Lorenzo, Olafur Eliasson, Vittorio Messina, Fabrizio Plessi, Patrick Raynaud, Katharina Sieverding), 2002, in Castel dell’Ovo. In the autumn of 2004, Giusi Laurino is curator of the exhibition Focus on Naples. Places, memories, images, in which the artistic work that six internationally renowned photographers (Gabriele Basilico, Luca Campigotto, Vincenzo Castella, Mimmo Jodice, Pino Musi, Eikoh Hosoe) have devoted to the cities of Naples and Pompeii can be found.
