The September tour dedicated to contemporary art is a mapping of changing projects that make us reflect on the transversality of artistic languages, as tools for territorial activation and catalysts for innovation and cultural dialogue.
Monferrato Panorama It is an unusual narration of the Piedmont area between Asti and Alessandria, already a UNESCO heritage site, with a public program and an exhibition repertoire that allows you to discover the most evocative places of four towns in the region, between peasant tradition, artistic heritage and local communities.
In the same area and in conjunction with the initiative, Cannelli inaugurates PalazzoIrrealea new destination for contemporary art that starts with an exhibition project of Patrick Tuttofuoco to shine a cultural spotlight on the area.
A widely discussed theme, common denominator for several selected projects, is the mending between Man and Nature. If the Anacapri Landscape Festival title the eighth edition The animal that I am thereforea warning not to forget our origins under the pressure of artificial intelligence, MAN Nuoro faces the crisis with Diorama. Generation Earth with a range of interpretations that range from positions of mimesis towards Nature to the treatment of the post-natural, from interspecific hybridization to wunderkammer taxidermy.
The central theme, the environmental one, also for Romaeuropa Festival which also extends to questions of cultural identity. Now in its 39th edition, the performing arts festival involves over 700 international artists engaged in 100 shows, outlining a dynamic and inclusive context for artistic expression and the germination of thought.
It is interdisciplinary and widespread throughout the territory as well Riccione TTV Festival which this year, in addition to involving the most interesting voices in dramaturgy, presents Anemoiaa photographic exhibition dedicated to the great masters who have interpreted the Riviera through their evocative shots.
From the Adriatic to the Ligurian Sea: the Cinque Terre host OTP – Third Paradise Horizonan exhibition and study initiative that recalls the artistic heritage of the territory, the one that links it to Arte Povera and its protagonists, to outline a future horizon of collective rebirth.
Some personal exhibitions open during the month. We start with Luigi Ghirri. Travels al MASI Lugano with 140 shots, including postcards, day trips and international destinations that explore the theme of travel in the production of the great master. In Milan, in Royal Palacewe pay homage to the ‘Quiz King’ Mike Good Morning on the centenary of his birth, a tribute to the television personality but also an in-depth look at a social phenomenon that helped solidify national identity. Strozzi Palace in Florence relaunches with a great exhibition on Abstractionism dedicated to one of its protagonists, Helen Frankenthalera pioneer of bold and innovative contemporary painting.
Finally an unpublished collective at MART from Rovereto: Surrealisms. From de Chirico to Gaetano Pesce offers for the first time a complete overview of artistic research in Italy, not a real movement but a collage of heterodox attitudes united by alienating principles and imaginative realities.
From Lugano to Anacapri, here is the selection of the month.
