The Venice Biennale isn't just an art exhibition - it's a cultural phenomenon! Founded in 1895, it's transformed from a national showcase to a global platform for artistic dialogue. Imagine a world where art transcends borders and ignites conversations. The Biennale has been at the forefront of this artistic evolution, pushing boundaries and showcasing groundbreaking movements. From its early days celebrating Italian art to its current status as a global platform, the Biennale has consistently challenged the status quo. Venice itself becomes a living exhibition during the Biennale. The Giardini gardens, with their permanent pavilions and the central exhibition, are the heart of the event. But thr Biennale's magic extends beyond the Giardini's! National pavilions scattered throughout the city transform historic buildings into vibrant embassies for each country's artistic spirit. Independent exhibitions, known as "collateral events," further enrich the experience, offering a diverse range of artistic expressions. Are you an art enthousiast or simply curious about this unique event? The Venice Biennale offers a transformative experience for everyone. #VeniceBiennale #ArtHistory #ContemporaryArt #CulturalExchange #Travel

🌟 You can now watch the presentation of Nicolás Testoni, Director of Ferrowhite (museo taller) - museum workshop, Bahía Blanca, Argentina, during the CIMAM Annual Conference in Buenos Aires! Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires Discover the unconventional world of Ferrowhite, a workshop museum that redefines the boundaries between artifacts and creation. In this thought-provoking presentation on the first day of the conference, which addressed topics under the theme "How can museums assume their social responsibility? A question from the Americas", Nicolás Testoni challenges traditional concepts, blurring the boundaries between a museum and a work of art. 🎨 Ferrowhite is not just a museum; it is a dynamic workshop where artifacts are displayed and meticulously crafted. It goes beyond being a repository of historical objects; it is a living testimony to the collective work that has preserved them. The essence of the Ferrowhite collection lies not only in the objects but in the collective effort that has safeguarded them. Nicolas Testoni's vision unfolds as Ferrowhite challenges the notion of autonomy, contemplating survival in difficult times and imagining a kinder future amidst a dystopian present. The museum workshop becomes a space of everyday creation, where objects are displayed and manufactured to understand the present and future. Watch the recording of Nicolas Testoni's presentation on CIMAM TV. Delve into the depth of Ferrowhite's story, where heritage is managed communally, offering a new perspective on the social responsibility of museums. #CIMAM23 #TheCoCreativeMuseum https://lnkd.in/dUiCQTTd

At NorthernLight, our aim in designing contemporary exhibitions about historical topics is to connect the topic to the NOW. Traditional historical exhibitions quite often try to mimic the THEN for the visitors. That is why we recently introduced our vision for the ’The transhistorical space’. This correlates with recent developments in historical studies to link historical events with current and timeless developments, rather than binding them to their epoch only. That leads to a shift from an “As if you were there” to a “there is here” approach for our exhibition design. Several of our recent (and upcoming) projects embody this philosophy.

"Urban space is by nature a fertile ground for artistic expression. This is where is both the critical mass interest for creation - potentiating the offer - and who enjoys it, in a conjugation between the artist / creator and the audience / citizens. Urban space is also a privileged place for community, assuming a sense of a gathered inheritance of knowledges and of tangible and intangible testimonies that require constant molding, adapting and respect between the legacy, the memory and the innovation understood as agents of the dynamic and development of that same territory. At a time when public and urban art are highly expressive and produce a shocking reaction in the public, proliferating in unusual places as well as in others that are properly planned, it also has the potential to mobilize touristic flows and the capacity to generate new destinations, causing new demands and challenges to territorial management which concur with creative freedom and artistic innovation, opening up a privileged field of experimentation on and in public space. This point of contact between the artist [individual or collective] and the community, broadly understood as representative of both the citizen and the entities that manage the territory, is the core motif of the CreArt encounter held in Aveiro in June 2019."

A leaf from a journey's diary - Rethinking museums We understand museums as having a determinate form and recognise them as containers with contents inside. For the historic European museum this is even more so the case. Can’t it be different and, if we can change it, how might it look? The splendidly beautiful porcelain works of Chinese artist Lei Xue would be a good analogy to explain possible or likely futures for the historic European museum. Lei Xue has created a contemporary blend of tradition and modern consumption aesthetics by combining traditional Chinese porcellain techniques with soda-can forms. As tradition is grafted onto everyday consumption objects so can our understanding of the past be shaped by contemporary values. As traditional craftsmanship and materials are shaped into objects inspired by throw-aways from every day life so can the historic European museum reinvent intself in the contemporary. Let’s not forget that museums need artists not just to present them to their publics but to help them reinvent themselves. #innovatingthepast #historicmaterials #contemporarynarratives

Unlikely Monuments exhibition curated by Giovanna Calvenzi From 31st January to 7th February 2024 Istituto Storico Parri, Bologna Promoted by Istituto Storico Parri and Lavì City on the occasion of Art City Bologna 2024 On show part of an ongoing series of monuments dedicated to women who have had a public role or a relevant role in the public sphere, known, unknown, or forgotten. These monuments are undoubtedly unlikely, like many of the places in which they are placed in this series, which is nothing but imaginary cataloguing as much as the monuments themselves. What is also proposed is a reflection on the meaning of "monument", on how we are remembered and how we would like to be represented, perhaps through other forms than the patriarchal ones that monuments have assumed. The series is presented as an excerpt from a catalogue.

Do museums still matter? New show at Mudam Luxembourg examines why and how institutions operate Exhibition taps into contemporary debates about social and geopolitical changes https://lnkd.in/esM8XyGq Mudam Luxembourg

Antinomia, finissage today, October 3, at 6.30 pm, at Avantgarden Gallery, Milan. The Antinomia, my last exhibition ends after 4 months. It is an unpublished urban tale, made up of urban legends and creative destruction, an artivist, counter-trend and anti-commercial documentary, factors that have inevitably influenced my expressive language both on an aesthetic and poetic level, contributing and in some cases, anticipating the development of currents such as: post-graffitism, brandalism, postvandalism and antistyle. A contemporary story that has been celebrating fight and trasform the degradation of society as an aesthetic and cultural factor for over 30 years.

In my opinion this is so important, it needs the very best but also passion because that’s what drives success.
