These films offer different perspectives on the drama of domestic violence in the unprecedented scenario of global isolation exacerbated by the pandemic: Domestication (2020) by Silvia Giambrone\,  Muse (2020) by Elena Mazzi\, Vedo rosso (2020) by Adrian Paci\, and Daily Routine (2020) by MASBEDO. \nAfter the greeting and the introduction\, Alessandro Rabottini will present Fondazione In Between Art Film project and the conversation in which the curator Paola Ugolini and the attending artists Silvia Giambrone and Elena Mazzi will take part\, while MASBEDO and Adrian Paci will join remotely. \nThe other films commissioned as part of Mascarilla 19 – Codes of domestic violence are:\nEspacios Seguros (2020) by Iván Argote (Bogota\, 1983); Flowers blooming in our throats (2020) by Eva Giolo (Bruxelles\, 1991); Sunsets\, everyday (2020) by Basir Mahmood (Lahore\, 1985); and Lacerate (2020) by Janis Rafa (Athens\, 1984) are simultaneously broadcasted on the digital platform. \nFondazione In Between Art Film was set up in Rome with the mission of spreading the culture of the moving image and supporting artists\, institutions\, and international centers of research that explore the dialog between disciplines and the grey areas in film\, video\, art\, performance and installation. Guided by its founder and president Beatrice Bulgari\, Fondazione In Between Art Film contributes to the international artistic debate by taking a closer look at the nature\, role\, and potential of moving images in our time. \n  \nIn collaboration with  \n \nSYNOPSES and ARTISTS’ BIOS\nSilvia Giambrone\nDomestication\, 2020\nVideo 2K\, 15’ [excerpt 5’]\nCourtesy the artist\, Studio Stefania Miscetti\, Galleria Marcolini\, Richard Saltoun Gallery and Fondazione In Between Art Film \nThe work of Silvia Giambrone is explicitly political in nature\, illustrating and denouncing the ways in which women are subjugated through cultural models regarding the body\, through norms of behavior\, and through the manipulation of our imaginations. Her work is a compelling device for reflecting on the domestication of violence and on the taboos surrounding this impulse; it examines how subjugation can employ a socially accepted language of love and affection\, a language to which we are so accustomed that we can no longer recognize it as a form of oppression. In her video Domestication\, Silvia Giambrone explores the conceptual model of the “Essay on the Education and Instruction of Children” written by Swiss theologian Johan Sulzer in 1748\, which revolves around the idea that “education is nothing other than learning to obey.” This obedience is obtained through both physical and psychological coercion\, in an approach to child-rearing that scholars now call “poisonous pedagogy.” This hurtful set of rules\, which formed the backbone of children’s education for centuries\, has had a series of cultural and behavioral repercussions that educators and psychotherapists consider responsible for the violence that permeates human relations even today. Two characters\, a man and a woman\, who have absorbed this paradigm of violence into their own relationship\, move in an evocative\, poetic way through a domestic setting. They are always shown alone in that shared environment\, as if each were a projection or memory in the other person’s mind\, but the objects they use serve as tangible signs of their actual presence. These everyday items\, seen through the distorting lens of violence\, are potentially dangerous and menacing: both witnesses and tools of a symbolic violence. The boundary between victim and abuser is so blurred that it becomes hard to say which is which; the whole video is pervaded by a tension that always seems on the point of erupting\, having festered within the domestic space as well as in the psyche of the people who live there. The visual register is an alternation between obsessive\, disturbing rhythms and moments that are almost dreamlike\, despite the plausibility of the setting and characters. \nSilvia Giambrone (Agrigento\, 1981; lives and works in Rome and London)\nShe studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome (2002- 2006). She has held residencies throughout Europe and USA and been awarded several prizes over the past five years. She has recently been awarded the VAF prize\, the most important prize for young Italian artists. Giambrone\, who both lives and works between Rome and London\, works about both the physical and invisible evidences of the strong connection between violence and the ‘subjectification’ process. Some of her exhibitions include: Pandora’s Boxes\, CCCB Museum\, Madrid (2009); Eurasia\, Mart Museum\, Rovereto (2009); Moscow Biennale: Qui vive?

With a vocabulary of form that draws on the symbolic dimension of the moving image\, these two artists probe the deeper sphere of human relationships\, often exploring the themes of incommunicability and psychological distance. The protagonist of Daily Routine lives in a bare house of glass and concrete\, where just a few minimalist furnishings punctuate an otherwise empty space. From dusk into the night\, her solitude is interrupted only by a sequence of ordinary actions that seem to have become routine: checking the security cameras\, smoking a cigarette\, fixing dinner\, and exercising on an elliptical bike. It soon becomes clear that the austere\, see-through architecture is actually an instrument of control: everything is visible from outside\, and a distant gaze seems to detect every movement taking place inside this structure of surveillance. The silence that weighs on this house is interrupted only by a few peremptory phone calls\, which seem to be instructions that require no reply: a male voice checks that everything is locked up and expresses satisfaction with the flawless decor. Through a very spare use of action and narrative\, MASBEDO turns the camera into an obsessive tool of male domination\, depicting the frenzy of narcissism\, the yen for control\, and the expression of violence through the subtlest forms of objectification. In Daily Routine\, partner abuse has no need to manifest itself through sudden\, shocking acts: it is deeply entrenched in the relationship dynamics\, seeps into the walls and glints off the vast windows\, dwells in the silences and gives an infernal rhythm to physical exercise\, pervading even the act of nourishment. And it is precisely through the mechanical aspect of that workout that this film reveals its subtlest and most chilling side\, the bassline and constant beat of violence. \nMASBEDO are Nicolò Massazza (Milan\, 1973) and Iacopo Bedogni (Sarzana\, 1970)\nThey live in Milan and work together since 1999\, focusing on video art and installations. They express themselves through the language of video\, in different forms such as performance\, theater\, installation\, photography and recently cinema. In Italy they are recognized among the most important video artists and innovators in the field of contemporary art\, thanks to their unique feature of re-union of different arts and the multiplicity of languages in a single chorus. Their works have been exhibited in museums\, biennials and institutions around the world\, including: 2019 – ICA Milan Institute for Contemporary Art\, Palazzo Dugnani Milan; 2018 – MAMM Multimedia Art Museum Moscow\, Manifesta12 Palermo\, Kunstlaboratorium Vestfossen Oslo\, Centre Pompidou/Forum des Images Paris\, Haus der Kulturen der Welt Berlin; 2017 – Marta Herford; 2016 – Reggia di Venaria Reale Torino\, Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb\, Nomas Foundation Roma\, Blickle Foundation Stuttgart; 2015 – MART Rovereto\, Changjiang Museum of Contemporary Art\, Art Basel Film Hong Kong Arts Centre; 2014 – Fondazione Merz; 2013 – Leopold Museum Vienna\, MAMBA Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires; 2012 – Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea\, Rivoli-Turin; 2011 – Art Unlimited Basel\, MAXXI Roma\, OK Offenes Kulturhaus Linz\, EMAF European Media Art Festival Osnabrück; 2010 – Center for Contemporary Art Ujazdowsky Castle Warsaw\, CAAM Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno Las Palmas\, Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts Taiwan; 2009 – Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía Madrid\, 53.

Taking a primarily anthropological approach\, she explores and records the personal and collective identity of a given territory\, highlighting different forms of interaction and transformation. In the video Muse\, Elena Mazzi leads viewers into the nightmare of gender violence through the disorienting beauty of the Greek and Roman statues in the Antiquarium of Palazzo Grimani in Venice. The video begins by showing details of the interiors as if they were still inhabited\, while a voiceover ushers us into the private world of the person who lived\, or perhaps still lives\, in those solitary rooms. The visual rhythm changes as the camera begins to show close-ups of the bodies and faces of these women and men from antiquity; bodies that have been restored\, put back together\, with breaks and mends in the marble; details of broken fingers; a series of legs and bodies; male and female statues seen in relation to each other from different angles\, with rays of natural light cutting in between. These are statues that have been stolen from other places\, in an era of brutal colonialism that clashes with the perfect aesthetic balance of their arrangement. They are bodies that speak to us of distant lands and times\, of love\, violence\, of myth\, pillage\, death\, and rebirth. The voiceover tells stories of rape\, of abduction\, of violent beings who transform themselves in order to capture their sexual prey: helpless\, beautiful human beings\, both male and female. The text has been constructed by selecting myths in which violence plays a pivotal role\, putting them into a broader narrative that ties this mythological past to the present and highlights how certain behavioral dynamics are still the same today. This visually powerful narrative takes us into the violent world of myth\, based on power and domination\, where violence is directly employed by a wrathful\, lustful god. \nElena Mazzi (Reggio Emilia\, 1984)\nElena Mazzi studied at the University of Siena and the IUAV in Venice\, after which she trained at the Royal Institute of Art (Konsthögskolan) in Stockholm. Starting from the examination of specific territories\, in her works\, she reinterprets the cultural and natural heritage of places\, interweaving stories\, facts and fantasies handed down by local communities\, in order to suggest possible resolutions to the man-nature-culture conflict. Her somewhat anthropological working method favours a holistic approach aimed at repairing the rifts that occur in society. She begins the work with observation and proceeds by combining various areas of knowledge. Her works have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions\, including: Whitechapel Gallery in London\, BOZAR in Brussels\, Museo del Novecento in Florence\, MAGA in Gallarate\, GAMeC in Bergamo\, MAMbo in Bologna\, AlbumArte in Rome\, Sonje Art Center in Seoul\, Palazzo Ducale in Urbino\, Palazzo Fortuny in Venice\, the Golinelli Foundation in Bologna\, the Pecci Center for Contemporary Art in Prato\, 16th Quadriennale in Rome\, GAM in Turin\, the 14th Istanbul Biennial\, the 17th BJCEM Mediterranean Biennial\, Fittja Pavilion during the 14th Venice Biennale of Architecture\, COP17 in Durban\, the Italian Cultural Institute in New York\, Brussels\, Stockholm\, Johannesburg and Cape Town\, and the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation in Venice. She has participated in various residency programs in Italy and abroad. She is the winner\, among others\, of the 7th edition of the Italian Council sponsored by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage\, the XVII Ermanno Casoli Prize\, the STEP Beyond Prize\, the OnBoard Prize\, the VISIO Young Talent Acquisition Prize\, the Eneganart Prize\, the Illy scholarship for Unidee\, Fondazione Pistoletto\, nctm and art prize\, the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo prize\, the Lerici Foundation prize. \n  \nAdrian Paci\n\nVedo rosso\, 2020\nVideo\, 11’ 38’’ [excerpt 5’]\nVideo and audio Daria Deflorian\nCourtesy the artist\, kaufmann repetto\, Peter Kilchmann Gallery and Fondazione In Between Art Film \nSince the late 1990s\, Adrian Paci has developed an artistic practice that includes video\, film\, painting\, photography\, and installation. A central theme of his work is displacement\, which Paci explores through depictions of global migration and poetic\, metaphorical language that probes how images change and move between film and painting\, the shifting nature of personal memory\, and the relationships between history\, reality\, and the moving image. In Vedo rosso the images are barely there: the screen is filled with a pulsating red that\, for just a few moments\, is interrupted by the appearance of an eye. The almost paradoxical choice to address the drama of domestic violence through the negation of images suggests the “impossibility” of telling this story: the red is created by a finger blocking the cell phone camera\, as if by mistake\, a common problem when recording. It is as if the phone lens were unable to film the domestic realm and were constantly being thwarted\, driven back into a claustrophobic place. The eyes that fleetingly appear come from video portraits of Syrian refugee women that Paci filmed in Beirut in 2018: once again\, we are looking at a kind of movement—migration\, in the interest of survival—that is being hindered\, along with the chance for refugees to tell their own stories and help us move past mass media clichés. An original text written and performed by playwright and actress Daria Deflorian provides the narrative structure: the power of storytelling turns the absence of images into a dramatic space of listening that captures the audience\, conveying the complexities and contradictions of abuse and the entangling nature of certain relationships. Vedo rosso is a polyphonic composition for color and voice; weaving together three threads of isolation\, coercion\, and negation\, both spatial and internal\, it examines limitations—physical\, psychological\, individual\, and collective—and the longing to overcome them. \nAdrian Paci (Shkoder\, Albania\, 1969)\nAdrian Paci studied painting at the Academy of Art of Tirana. In 1997 he moved to Milan where he lives and works. Throughout his career he held numerous solo shows in various international institutions such as: National Gallery of Art\, Tirana ( 2019)\, Krems Kunsthalle ( 2019)\, Museo Novecento\, Florence ( 2017); MAC\, Musée d’Art Contemporain de Montréal (2014); Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea – PAC\, Milan (2014); Jeu de Paume\, Paris (2013); National Gallery of Kosovo\, Prishtina (2012); Kunsthaus Zurich\, Zurich (2010); Bloomberg Space\, London (2010); The Center for Contemporary Art – CCA\, Tel Aviv (2009); Museum am Ostwall\, Dortmund (2007); MoMA PS1\, New York (2006) and Contemporary Arts Museum\, Houston (2005). Amongst the various group shows\, Adrian Paci’s work has also been featured in the 14th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia (2014); in the 48th and the 51st edition of the International Art Exhibition – Triennale di Roma\, where he won first prize (2008); in the Biennale de Lyon (2009); and in the 4th Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art (2013). His works are in numerous public and private collections including Metropolitan Museum\, New York\, Museum of Modern Art\, New York\, Musée d’Art Contemporain de Montréal\, Centre Pompidou\, Paris\, Israel Museum\, Jerusalem\, MAXXI\, Rome\, Fundació La Caixa\, Barcelona\, Moderna Museet\, Stockholm\, Kunsthaus Zürich\, Zurich\, UBS Art Collection\, London\, Museum of Contemporary Art\, Miami\, New York Public Library\, New York\, Solomon Guggenheim Foundation\, New York\, Seattle Art Museum\, Seattle. Adrian Paci teaches painting and visual art at Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti NABA\, Milan. He has been a teaching art classes at Accademia Carrara di Belle Arti\, Bergamo\, 2002-2006\, IUAV\, Venice\, 2003-2015 and has been giving lectures and workshops in many Universities\, Art Academies and Institutions in different countries. \n\nIván Argote\n\nEspacios Seguros\, 2020\nVideo 2K\, 19’ 55’’ [excerpt 5’]\nCourtesy the artist\, Galerie Perrotin\, Galería Vermelho\, Galería Albarrán Bourdais and Fondazione In Between Art Film \nThe practice of Iván Argote centers on exploring the complex systems that govern the relationships between individuals\, and the ways in which history\, social roles\, and power shape the structures of cities and public space. His works rely on a wide range of media\, including video\, photography\, sculpture\, drawing\, and installation. In Espacios Seguros (Safe Spaces)\, Argote conceptually links two cities to which he is personally tied: Bogotá\, where he was born and raised\, and Paris\, where he trained as an artist and now lives. Two contexts that are very different from each other politically\, economically and socially\, but where the statistics and dynamics of violence against women are tragically similar. The artist films the inscriptions that have been posted around his neighborhood by Collages Feminicides\, an anonymous collective of women artists; using short phrases and simple but immediately recognizable graphics\, they highlight the pervasiveness of gender violence and femicide in France. The camera slowly zooms in on these collages\, while in the background the life of the city proceeds at its usual pace\, culpably indifferent to the tragedy they reveal. Argote thus shifts the sphere of dialogue from the private realm to the public one\, forcing us to reflect on the normalization of violence and the paradoxical nature of a problem that seems hidden but is actually right in plain view. Over the collages\, we hear the voice of Diana Rodriguez Franco\, “Secretaria de la Mujer de Bogotá”: head of the city’s department of women’s affairs\, charged with implementing public policies for preventing domestic violence and supporting victims. Interviewed by the artist\, this official explains how the program Espacios Seguros was developed in response to the growing number of cases of domestic violence during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the text\, images\, and sound are in different languages\, they form a shared grammar that emphasizes the gravity of the situation and the need to act immediately. \nIván Argote (Bogota\, 1983; lives in Paris)\nThe works of Iván Argote explore the relationship between history\, politics\, and the construction of our own subjectivities. His films\, sculptures\, collages\, and public space installations attempt to generate questions about how we relate to others\, to the state\, to heritage and tradition. His works are sometimes anti-establishment critiques; taking a tone that is compelling yet tender\, they investigate the idea of bringing emotions to politics and politics to the emotions. Iván Argote’s solo exhibitions include: Juntos Together\, ASU – Arizona State University Art Museum (Tempe\, Arizona\, 2019); Radical Tenderness\, MALBA (Buenos Aires\, 2018); Deep Affection\, Perrotin (Paris\, 2018); Somos Tiernos\, Museo Universitario del Chopo (Mexico City\, 2017); Somos\, Galeria Vermelho (São Paulo\, 2017); La Venganza del Amor\, Perrotin (New York\, 2017); Sírvete de mi\, sírveme de ti\, Proyecto Amil (Lima\, 2016); Strengthlessness\, Standard High Line (New York\, 2016); An Idea of Progress\, SPACE (London\, 2016); Cómo lavar la losa coherentemente\, NC Arte (Bogota\, 2016); La puesta en marcha de un sistema\, Galeria ADN (Barcelona\, 2015); Reddish Blue\, DT Project (Brussels\, 2015); Let’s Write a History of Hopes\, Galeria Vermelho (São Paulo\, 2014); Strengthlessness\, Galerie Perrotin (Paris\, 2014); La Estrategia\, Palais de Tokyo (Paris\, 2013); and Sin heroísmos\, por favor\, CA2M (Madrid\, 2012)\, among others. He has also participated in several numerous group exhibitions\, biennials and film festivals such as: Desert X\, (Coachella Valley\, California\, 2019); Poéticas de la emoción\, Caixa Forum (Barcelona\, 2019); The Street: Where the World Is Made\, MAXXI (Rome\, 2018); How to See [What Isn’t There]\, Burger Collection Hong Kong at the Langen Foundation (Neuss\, 2018); Wonderland\, The High Line (New York\, 2018); Regreso al futuro\, Casa Encendida (Madrid\, 2018); Hybrid Topographies\, Deutsche Bank Collection (New York\, 2018); Bienal Sur (Buenos Aires – Bogotá\, 2017); Continua Sphères Ensemble\, Le Centquatre-Paris (Paris\, 2017); Du Verbe à La Communication\, Carré d’Art (Nîmes\, 2017); A Decolonial Atlas\, Vincent Price Art Museum (Monterey Park\, California\, 2017); Monumentos\, anti-monumentos y nueva escultura pública\, Museo de Arte de Zapopan (Zapopan\, 2017); Future Generation Art Prize\, Pinchuk Art Centre (Kiev – Venice\, 2017); Bread and Roses\, Museum of Modern Art (Warsaw\, 2016); Festival Hors Pistes\, Centre Pompidou (Paris – Malaga\, 2016); Ideologue\, Utah Museum of Contemporary Art (Salt Lake City\, UT\, 2016); Dear Betty: Run Fast\, Bite Hard!\, GaMEC (Bergamo\, 2016); Intersections\, Cisneros Fountanals Foundation (Miami\, 2015); 5th Thessaloniki Biennale (Thessaloniki\, 2015); Levitate\, Museums Quartier (Vienna\, 2015); L’éloge de l’heure\, MUDAC (Lausanne\, 2015); Buildering: Misbehaving the City\, Blaffer Art Museum & CAC Contemporary Arts Center (Houston – Cincinnati\, 2014); Colonia Apocrifa\, MUSAC (Léon\, 2014); The Part In The Story…\, Witte de With (Rotterdam\, 2014); Utopian Days – Freedom\, Total Museum of Contemporary Art (Seoul\, 2014); All about these…\, National Gallery of Arts (Tirana\, 2014); Festival Hors Pistes\, Centre Pompidou (Paris\, 2014); Los irrespetuosos\, Museo Carrilo Gil (Mexico City\, 2013); 30th São Paulo Biennial (São Paulo\, 2013); and Girarse\, Joan Miró Fundation (Barcelona\, 2012)\, among others. \n  \nEva Giolo\n\nFlowers blooming in our throats\, 2020\n16mm tranferred to digital support\, 8’ 42” [excerpt 5’]\nCourtesy the artist\, Fondazione In Between Art Film and Elephy \nEva Giolo is a visual artist who uses documentary strategies to explore personal and family histories\, through an intense gaze that is keenly attuned to women’s experiences. She often employs 16mm and found footage from home video archives and from her private life. Filmed in 16mm just after the lockdown caused by COVID-19\, Flowers blooming in our throats is an intimate\, poetic portrait of the fragile balances that govern everyday life in a domestic setting. The artist films a group of her female friends in their own homes\, performing various small actions in accordance with her instructions. Giolo chooses to walk a shifting line where gestures remain symbolically ambiguous\, expressing a kind of violence that is not immediately recognizable. Hands try to support or escape\, but also to grip or strike\, in a subtle interweaving of sounds and references that adds to the viewer’s sense of tension and unease. A dialogue of gestures made up of repeated visual sequences where time is marked by the spinning of a small toy top\, as unstable and precarious as the balance of a relationship. The artist repeatedly uses a red filter on her lens\, creating a conceptual device that relies on an element of abstraction to conceal and transfigure the image. The mechanical insertion of the filter over the lens thus becomes the simulation of a violent act\, immediately changing the way we perceive and remember an action we have seen before. This coexistence of opposites can also be found in the title\, which metaphorically suggests how the beauty of a natural phenomenon—and implicitly\, love—can turn into a suffocating force. \nEva Giolo (Brussels\, 1991)\nEva Giolo is an audio-visual artist. Her work in film shows a propensity to capture family stories—her own\, or other people’s. Using documentary strategies\, she paints portraits that open a window into unseen\, usually private\, inner worlds. Giolo obtained her MFA in Fine Arts at the Royal Academy of Arts (KASK)\, Ghent and her BFA from the Media Arts Department at KASK and Kanazawa College of Art in Japan. She completed her music education at the Institute of Contemporary Music in London.

Sunsets\, everyday is the result of an investigation that the artist undertook of the process\, both physical and cinematic\, involved in creating images of domestic violence. During the lockdown\, some victims courageously used social media to share photos of their faces\, as a way of encouraging other women to report such crimes. The marks on their bodies were the only tangible proof of the blows and the pain they had suffered\, and the artist took these as a point of departure for thinking about all the things that happen out of view. Mahmood commissioned a production team in Lahore to create and film\, in his absence\, a repeated scene of domestic violence\, based on his instructions and some reference images. While the main crew was busy with this task\, two camera operators were asked to constantly film the entire process and the elements of the set\, down to the last detail. This method of working from a distance\, which Mahmood often employs\, invites a reflection on the artist’s role and authorship\, turning him into a witness and observer of his own work. The process of staging violence is what generates the images on the screen\, but the act itself is almost completely hidden from the viewer. We see only narrow closeups and small portions of women’s bodies. Rejecting spectacularization\, the artist focuses instead on the cinematic process and the codes of its language. In this metacinema of violence\, the characters are the technicians and crew members struggling with his exhausting demand that they repeat the scene for sixteen straight hours of shooting. The set itself is explored by the camera with a forensic gaze\, and the objects that compose it are put on an equal footing with the people. Both are forced to witness to the violence enacted before them. The almost obsessive repetition of identical actions\, like washing the floor\, becomes a way of expressing the routine nature of violence. An act that is repeated with tragic continuity. Every day\, as inevitable as the sunset. \nBasir Mahmood (Lahore\, Pakistan\, 1985)\nBasir Mahmood studied in Lahore at the Beaconhouse National University. Soon after\, he received a year-long fellowship from Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart\, Germany\, for 2011. He was also later awarded a two-year research fellowship by the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten\, Amsterdam\, for 2016 and 2017. Mahmood engages with the situations around him by reflecting upon embedded social and historical terrains of the ordinary\, as well as his personal milieu. Using video\, film or photograph\, Mahmood weaves various threads of thought\, discovery\, and insight into poetic sequences and various forms of narrative. Since 2011\, his works have been widely shown in contexts that include: The Garden of Eden\, Palais de Tokyo (Paris\, 2012); III Moscow International Biennale for Young Art (Moscow\, 2012); The Broad Museum: Inaugural Exhibition\, Michigan State University (East Lansing\, Michigan\, 2012); Asia Pacific Time of Others\, Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (Tokyo\, 2015); Yinchuan Biennial (Yichuan\, 2016); Abraaj Group Art Prize Show (Dubai\, 2016); Contour Biennale 8 (Mechelen\, 2017); Tableaux Vivants\, Foundation Etrillard (Paris\, 2017); 10th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art (Berlin\, 2018); Freedom of Movement\, Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam\, 2018); and Innsbruck International (Innsbruck\, 2020). Mahmood has received accolades from around the world for his work. Most recently he was shortlisted for Portugal’s prestigious\, highly competitive Paulo Cunha e Silva Art Prize; an exhibition with works by the six finalists held at Galeria Municipal do Porto in June 2020. Works by Mahmood are in various private collections and have also been acquired by the Queensland Art Gallery in Brisbane; the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam\, and the Centre National des Arts Plastiques in Paris. \n\nJanis Rafa\n\nLacerate\, 2020\nVideo 3.2K\, 16’ 20’’ [excerpt 5’]\nCourtesy the artist\, Martin van Zomeren Gallery and Fondazione In Between Art Film \nJanis Rafa primarily employs the language of cinema\, in feature films\, video essays\, and video installations. Her works\, which are often permeated by elements of magical realism\, explore the symbolic potential of the relations between humans and other species\, touching on universal themes such as mortality\, coexistence\, and environmental awareness. Lacerate blends elements of realism with a dreamlike\, symbolic dimension\, portraying the extreme decision of a woman who turns from victim into executioner. Inspired by the iconography of mythological and biblical paintings such as Artemisia Gentileschi’s Judith Slaying Holofernes\, Rafa nonetheless chooses to show the moment after the act of revenge—or self-defense—when the dramatic climax is already over. In a series of mises-en-scène shot only in natural light\, we see a domestic setting overrun by a pack of dogs that roam around restlessly\, attacking objects and furniture. The interior of this home is a mental space\, violated and lacerated like a body that has undergone violence. Fruit\, game\, and remnants of food are arranged like still lifes\, with allegorical elements evoking the precariousness of life and the loss of innocence. It is a suspended\, hostile ecosystem\, where the brutality suffered by other species is transferred by osmosis to human beings. In the vision imagined by the artist\, the hunting hounds and other dogs—which were perhaps owned by the couple and witnessed the abusive relationship over the years—have come back like ghosts from the past. Historically symbols of loyalty to their master\, the dogs here rebel and become the woman’s guardians\, supporting and protecting her in the process of liberation from her persecutor. It is thus the irrational\, animalistic part of the unconscious that has been unleashed\, allowing the woman to regain control over her life and save herself. \nJanis Rafa (Athens\, 1984; lives and works in Amsterdam and Athens)\nShe completed her education in Fine Art at the University of Leeds (2002-2012) with a doctorate in video art practice\, and was a resident at the Rijksakademie (2013-2014). In 2019 she presented her first museum solo exhibition at Centraal Museum Utrecht. She recently completed her first feature film\, Kala azar (2020)\, which had its world premiere in the Tiger Competition at the International Film Festival Rotterdam\, winning the AFK award for best Dutch (co)production. The film premiered in the US at New Directors/New Films at MoMA & Lincoln Center (New York)\, and was released in the Netherlands in August 2020. Rafa’s work has also been shown at Palazzo Medici Riccardi (2017)\, Centre d’art contemporain Chanot (2017)\, Kunsthalle Munster (2017)\, Museum Voorlinden (2017)\, EYE Film Institute (2016)\, Kunstfort Vijfhuizen (2016)\, Palazzo Strozzi (2015)\, State Museum of Contemporary Art Thessaloniki (2011)\, and Manifesta 8 (2010)\, among other venues. Her moving image works have been screened at film festivals such as: IFF Rotterdam\, Netherlands Film Festival\, BFI London\, Viennale IFF and Rencontres Internationales (2016\, 2010). Her work is in the collections of the Stedelijk Museum\, Amsterdam and Centraal Museum\, Utrecht.

SUMMARY:Artists on the Frontline - Global Artists Response Fund Launch
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with Community Jameel & Tate Museums \nPanel discussion chaired by Anna Somers Cocks\, Founder Editor\, The Art Newspaper; Cara Courage\, Head of Tate Exchange\, Tate Museums; Phyll Opoku-Gyimah\, Co-Founder\, UK Black Pride; Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev\, Director\, Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea\, Turin \nThis pandemic is making us question everything from our economic systems to the role of the state\, and the purpose of art is no exception. What are artists doing to help and what is their responsibility? The pandemic has affected everyone everywhere from all walks of life\, but hardest hit are those communities living at the edges of society\, suffering social\, economic or conflict-driven hardship. They have the weakest health-care systems and the most acute mental health problems. This panel will discuss how artists are working on the frontlines of the current crisis and how the pandemic might change the art-world systems and values of the past decades. The panel will also mark the launch of several projects being supported by the Artists Response Fund including in Iraq\, in partnership with Community Jameel\, documenting and sustaining traditional cultural practices to address mental health needs among with the Yazidi and Marsh Arab communities\, and on the Navajo Nation in Arizona.

SUMMARY:Giulio Paolini. “Le Chef-d’œuvre inconnu” | Finissage
DESCRIPTION:Giulio Paolini donates to Castello di Rivoli his large installation Le Chef-d’œuvre inconnu\, (2020) and presents the exhibition catalog during a book-signing event on May 16\, 2021 in the Bookshop. \nTo celebrate the last day of the Giulio Paolini. “Le Chef-d’œuvre inconnu” exhibition\, Sunday May 16\, 2021 at 12 pm the Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea organizes the presentation of the exhibition catalog in the presence of the artist\, the Director Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev and the curator of the exhibition Marcella Beccaria. \nThe Book\n \nThe two-volume publication was born on the occasion of the exhibition Giulio Paolini.“Le Chef-d’œuvre inconnu\,” to celebrate the artist’s eightieth birthday. \nVolume I Giulio Paolini.“Le Chef-d’œuvre inconnu\,” is dedicated to the exhibition\, which is discussed through new essays by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev and by Marcella Beccaria. Richly illustrated with documentary images\, the catalog also traces the artist’s exhibition history at Castello di Rivoli. \nVolume II Giulio Paolini. Recital. Writings in verse 1987–2020 focuses on the artist’s poetry\, introduced by a new text by Andrea Cortellessa. \nGiulio Paolini designed the covers of the two volumes and created the new work Senza titolo (Untitled)\, 2020 for the inside of the dust jacket. \nThe Gift\nOn the occasion of his solo show at Castello di Rivoli\, Giulio Paolini generously donated to the Museum the large installation Le Chef-d’œuvre inconnu\, 2020 which welcomes visitors in Gallery 18. \nThe installation\, which becomes part of the Museum’s Permanent Collection\, is based on Disegno geometrico (Geometrical Drawing)\, 1960\, one of the primary works by the artist. Described by Paolini as his “first (and last painting)\,” Disegno geometrico refers to the squaring of a canvas –the first gesture an artist usually performs. Disegno geometrico is a rectangular canvas painted white\, on which Paolini has “chosen to copy\, according to the right proportions\, the preliminary sketch for any drawing\, namely the geometrical squaring of the surface.” \nIn the gallery at the second floor of the Savoy Residence\, the long lines traced on the floor match the outline of the diagonals of Disegno geometrico\, whereas each of the eight squaring points is marked by the presence of an easel with a transparent display case. Inside each case are paper fragments of sketches and cuttings from Paolini’s studio in Turin. Hanging from the ceiling at the center of the room\, corresponding to a ninth empty easel\, is another display case. Its presence raises the number of display cases present in ‘Le Chef-d’oeuvre inconnu’ to nine. \n“Visiting the large installation Le Chef-d’œuvre inconnu” – writes Marcella Beccaria – “is like walking among Giulio Paolini’s ideas and seeing them take shape before our eyes. This generous gift from the artist\, which we thank\, allows Castello di Rivoli to enrich the permanent collection\, documenting the fundamental path of the artist\, from the beginnings in the context of Arte Povera to the present.” \nBiography\nGiulio Paolini was born on 5 November 1940 in Genoa and lives in Turin. \nHis poetics focus on themes that examine the conception\, manifestation and vision of the artwork. After his inquiries on the elements that make up a painting\, his attention has turned to the act of exhibiting works\, to the consideration of the work as a catalogue of its own possibilities\, as well as to the figure of the author and his lack of contact with the work\, which either pre-exists or transcends him. \nSince his first participation in a group exhibition (1961) and his first solo show (1964)\, he has had countless exhibitions in galleries and museums the world over. His major retrospectives include: Palazzo della Pilotta in Parma (1976)\, Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam (1980)\, Nouveau Musée in Villeurbanne (1984)\, Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart (1986)\, Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna in Rome (1988)\, Neue Galerie am Landesmuseum Joanneum in Graz (1998)\, GAM Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in Turin (1999)\, Fondazione Prada in Milan (2003)\, Kunstmuseum in Winterthur (2005)\, MACRO Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Roma in Rome (2013)\, and Whitechapel Gallery in London (2014). Among the most recent solo shows should be mentioned those at the Center for Italian Modern Art in New York (dialogue with Giorgio de Chirico’s works\, 2016) and at Fondazione Carriero in Milan (2018). \nHe has participated in many Arte povera exhibitions and has been invited on several occasions to Documenta in Kassel (1972\, 1977\, 1982\, 1992) and the Venice Biennale (1970\, 1976\, 1978\, 1980\, 1984\, 1986\, 1993\, 1995\, 1997\, 2013). \nSince 1969 he has also designed sets and costumes for the theatre\, notably the projects he devised with Carlo Quartucci in the 1980s and the sets for two Wagner operas directed by Federico Tiezzi (2005\, 2007). \nHaving trained as a graphic designer\, he has always nurtured special interest in the field of publishing and writing. From the very outset his artistic exploration has been accompanied by his thoughts\, collected in books he has personally edited: from Idem\, published in 1975 by Einaudi with an introduction by Italo Calvino\, to his most recent publications\, Quattro passi. Nel museo senza muse (Turin: Einaudi\, 2006)\, Dall’Atlante al Vuoto in ordine alfabetico (Milan: Electa\, 2010) and L’autore che credeva di esistere (Milan: Johan & Levi\, 2012). Many books have been published devoted to Paolini’s oeuvre: from the first monograph written by Germano Celant (New York: Sonnabend Press\, 1972) to the volume by Francesco Poli (Turin: Lindau\, 1990) and\, lastly\, the Catalogue Raisonné of his works dated 1960-1999\, edited by Maddalena Disch (Milan: Skira\, 2008).

SUMMARY:Digital PTSD Part II. The Practice of Art and Its Impact on Digital Trauma
DESCRIPTION:Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea presents the second part of a program of talks\, conversations and artworks entitled Digital PTSD. The Practice of Art and Its Impact on Digital Trauma developed in the framework of the exhibition Espressioni. The Proposition. \nDigital PTSD. Part II is presented at Castello di Rivoli Theatre (free access with Museum ticket\, booking is essential) and live streamed on both e-flux and Castello di Rivoli websites (please register here). \nIt is counterintuitive\, but Digital PTSD presents through an online platform a critique of the potential misuse of technologies by proposing an interdisciplinary enquiry into the possibility that a trauma from hyper-digitization may be emerging\, at both individual and collective level. In the context of society’s growing reliance on online technologies and Artificial Intelligence\, Digital PTSD questions whether these tools may be sources of psychological distress\, undermining physical and mental well-being as well as facilitating the affirmation of a technocracy which ultimately poses a threat to our health and social justice. What are the traumatic consequences of the sudden increase in virtual activities during a period when spaces of aggregation\, such as museums\, have been in extended lockdown? Digital PTSD invites to reflect on screen-based experience\, the physical erosion of living matter\, the transformation of life into big data and the new digital epistemic regime. \nParticipants in Part II include: Ed Atkins\, artist; Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller\, artists; Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev\, director of the museum; Devra Davis\, epidemiologist\, activist; Irene Dionisio\, author\, director\, visual artist; Aikaterini Fotopoulou\, psychodynamic neuroscientist; Vittorio Gallese\, cognitive neuroscientist; Vincent Hendricks\, philosopher\, logician; Catherine Malabou\, philosopher; Otobong Nkanga\, artist; Tabita Rezaire\, artist\, devotee\, yogi\, doula\, soon to be farmer; Legacy Russell\, curator\, writer; Miao Ying\, artist. \nThe event runs from 15:00 to 22:00 CEST (Central European Standard Time). Further information and program here. \nDigital PTSD – Part I took place on December 12\, 2020\, including: Tabita Rezaire\, artist; Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev\, museum director\, exhibition maker\, writer; Beatriz Colomina & Mark Wigley\, architectural historians\, theorists\, curators; Cécile B. Evans\, artist; Matteo Pasquinelli\, cognitive sciences\, digital economy\, machine intelligence theorist; Hito Steyerl\, filmmaker\, visual artist\, writer\, and innovator of the essay documentary; Grada Kilomba\, artist and writer; Anne Imhof\, artist musician; Bracha L. Ettinger\, painter\, theorist\, psychoanalyst; Éric Sadin\, writer and philosopher; Vittorio Gallese\, cognitive neuroscientist; Ophelia Deroy\, philosopher and cognitive neuroscientist; Griselda Pollock\, feminist-postcolonial-queer-international art historian and cultural analyst; Agnieszka Kurant\, artist; Cally Spooner\, artist; Chus Martínez\, curator and writer; Stuart Ringholt\, artist; Marcos Lutyens\, artist and hypnotist. Documentation of the full event can be watched here. \nDigital PTSD. The Practice of Art and Its Impact on Digital Trauma is a research program initiated and curated by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev with Stella Bottai and Giulia Colletti. \n  \nDIGITAL PTSD – PART II\nPARTICIPANTS BIOGRAPHIES \n \nEd Atkins lives and works in Copenhagen. His upcoming solo exhibition Get Life / Love’s Work opens at the New Museum in New York in June 2021. Forthcoming exhibitions aslo include Tank\, Shanghai\, and Tate Britain. Recent solo exhibitions include Kunsthaus Bregenz and K21 Düsseldorf (both 2019); Martin-Gropius-Bau\, Berlin; MMK Frankfurt; DHC/ART\, Montréal (all 2017); Castello di Rivoli and Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo\, Turin; The Kitchen\, New York (all 2016). An anthology of his texts\, A Primer for Cadavers\, was published by Fitzcarraldo in 2016. An epic nothing\, Old Food\, was published by Fitzcarraldo in 2019. A new book of his drawings for children is published by Koenig Books this Spring. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEd Atkins and Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev tackle some of the complexities of contemporary digital technologies\, including the challenges posed by the dramatic increase in digitization during lockdown affecting interpersonal relationships and screen-based social experiences. Over the past decade\, Atkins has created a complex body of work that considers the relationship between the corporeal and the digital through high-definition computer-generated (CG) animations\, theatrical environments\, elliptical writings\, and syncopated sound montages. Atkins and Christov-Bakargiev touch upon his upcoming commission Get Life/Love’s Work at the New Museum\, New York\, that focuses on the ways bodies and technologies are intertwined\, particularly in the field of digital communication and telepresence. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nJanet Cardiff and George Bures Miller live and work in British Columbia. The artists are internationally recognized for their immersive multimedia sound installations and their audio/video walks. They have created recent video walks at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles (2019)\, and for the Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh (2019). Cardiff and Miller have shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York (2019) Museum of Contemporary Art in Monterrey\, Mexico (2019); Oude Kerk\, Amsterdam (2018); 21st Century Museum\, Kanazawa\, Japan (2017) and Fondation Louis Vuitton\, Paris (2017). In 2020 they were awarded the Wilhelm Lehmbruck prize for sculpture. In 2001\, Cardiff and Miller represented Canada at the 49th Venice Biennale\, for which they received the Premio Speciale and the Benesse Prize. \n\n\n\n\nJanet Cardiff and George Bures Miller speak with Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev about their series of video and audio walks in relation to media alienation. Cardiff and Bures Miller’s work has since a long time acknowledged and deployed digital screens as tools affecting one’s perception of their surroundings\, transporting them to alternate realities and ultimately diverting the attention (and the senses) back to our material relationship with the world. Contrary to the visual flatness of smart devices\, their work establishes a three-dimensional\, layered physical space in which transformative scenarios unfold. In this conversation\, they discuss their approach to screen-based experience in their past work\, reflecting on the use of technology in the present day and the evolving relationship between online and offline experience. \n\n\n\n\n \nCarolyn Christov-Bakargiev is a writer\, art historian and curator. Currently\, she is the Director of Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea and Fondazione Francesco Federico Cerruti in Turin. She is the recipient of the 2019 Audrey Irmas Award for Curatorial Excellence. She was Edith Kreeger Wolf Distinguished Visiting Professor in Art Theory and Practice at Northwestern University (2013-2019). Christov-Bakargiev was Artistic Director of dOCUMENTA (13) in 2012 in Kassel\, Banff\, Alessandria-Cairo and Bamiyan-Kabul. In 2008\, she directed the Sydney Biennale and the Istanbul Biennale in 2015. \n\n\n\n\nCastello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Director\, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev introduces some of the concerns which prompted this program. In the context of society’s growing reliance on online technologies and Artificial Intelligence\, Digital PTSD questions whether these tools may be sources of psychological distress\, undermining physical and mental well-being as well as facilitating the affirmation of a technocracy which ultimately poses a threat to public freedom and social justice. What are the traumatic consequences of the sudden increase in virtual activities during a period when spaces of aggregation\, such as museums\, have been in extended lockdown? Digital PTSD invites to reflect on screen-based experience\, the physical erosion of living matter\, the trans-formation of life into big data and the new digital epistemic regime. \n\n\n\n\n \nDevra Davis\, Ph.D. MPH\, is Founder and President of Environmental Health Trust (EHT)\, a US-based not-for-profit organization providing research and education on avoidable environmental health hazards\, including radio-frequency radiation\, pesticides and toxic chemicals. A former senior official in the Clinton administration and an executive director at the US national Academy of Sciences\, Davis served as a Lead Author of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (1998-2002)\, and was part of the team awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 along former US vice-president Al Gore. Author of over 200 scientific publications and three popular books\, Davis holds visiting professor appointments at several universities.  \n\n\n\n\nDevra Davis presents scientific research on wireless microwave radiation. She shares why she has joined hundreds of scientists around the world who are calling to reduce children’s exposure to wireless microwave radiation through the introduction of updated regulations on the use of wireless devices\, and to halt 5G until further research and assessment on its potential health effects are carried out. \n\n\n\n\n \nIrene Dionisio is a filmmaker and artist. Her productions span video-installations\, documentaries\, films including Le ultime cose (2016)\, Sponde (2015)\, and La fabbrica è piena (2011) which were featured at many international festivals (Festival di Venezia\, Torino Film Festival\, Visions du Réel\, Taiwan Film Festival\, among others) and were awarded Premio Filmmaker\, Premio Solinas\, Premio Scam and and Jury Prize at Cinema-Verité in Iran. Dionisio’s work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions at Magazzino Italian Art\, New York; PAC\, Milan; OCAT\, Shanghai; Palazzo Grassi\, Venice; amongst others. \n\n\n\n\nFollowing A Germ Theory – A Teaser\, this new lecture-performance titled A Germ Theory_Earth by Irene Dionisio investigates\, visualises and performs Benjamin H. Bratton’s mega-structure on a double plane – physical and digital. A possibility emerges for both the artist and the audience to question the role of art in enabling a comprehension of reality and our increasing alienation from it. The interstice between digital and physical worlds becomes a free zone to allow new doubts and possible solutions to emerge\, and to contemplate the environmental topic with different parameters. \n\n\n\n\n \nAikaterini (Katerina) Fotopoulou\, PhD\, DPsych is Professor of Psychodynamic Neuroscience at University College London\, leading research on the mental-physical health interface\, including the European Research Council programme grants BODILY SELF and METABODY (www.fotopoulou.com). Fotopoulou has received several awards for her research\, including the Distinguished Young Scientist Award (2014) by the World Economic Forum and the Early Career Award of the International Neuropsychology Society (2016). She is co-founder and Treasurer of the International Association for the Study of Affective Touch (IASAT)\, board member of the European Society for Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience\, and co-editor of the volume From the Couch to the Lab: Trends in Psychodynamic Neuroscience\, Oxford University Press\, 2012. \n\n\n\n\nProximal\, interpersonal space is the space of bodily contact but also the space of social\, interactive possibilities. The physical space in which others can touch our skin and the imaginary space in which others can touch our emotions. Touch acquired a new resonance in the year of social distancing measures\, reminding us the well-studied role of contact comfort in development\, relatedness and health. In this talk Remote but not distant: Possibilities and Tensions of Digital Contact Comfort\, Fotopoulou explores data collected during the pandemic on the mental health effects of unprecedented touch deprivation in human adults\, as well as survey and experimental insights on experiences and attitudes to digital remote touch technology for mediating physical remoteness and social communication. \n\n\n\n\n \nVittorio Gallese\, MD and trained neurologist\, is Professor of Psychobiology and Cognitive Neuroscience at the Dept. of Medicine & Surgery of the University of Parma\, Italy. Cognitive neuroscientist\, his research focuses on the relation between the sensory-motor system and cognition by investigating the neurobiological and bodily grounding of intersubjectivity\, psychopathology\, language and aesthetics. He is the author of more than 300 scientific publications and three books. \n\n\n\n\nNeuroscience and physiology today can investigate the brain-body mechanisms enabling our interactions with man-made images\, shedding light on the functional mechanisms enabling their perceptual experience. Vision is a process far more complex than the mere activation of the “visual brain”. Our visual experience of images is the outcome of multimodal integration processes\, in which the motor system is one key player. In this talk Digital Visions\, Vittorio Gallese briefly discusses this new model of vision\, emphasizing that the multimodal integration of what we perceive is triggered by the potentiality for action that we express corporeally. He argues that the digital revolution has shifted the balance towards an ever-growing exposure to digital images and introduced a novel performative quality to our perceptual experience of them. Some implications of our digital visions are discussed. \n\n\n\n\n \nVincent F. Hendricks is Professor of Formal Philosophy at The University of Copenhagen. He is Founder and Director of the Center for Information and Bubble Studies (CIBS) financed by the Carlsberg Foundation and was awarded the Elite Research Prize by the Danish Ministry of Science\, Technology and Innovation and the Roskilde Festival Elite Research Prize both in 2008. He was Editor-in-Chief of Synthese: An International Journal for Epistemology\, Methodology and Philosophy of Science between 2005-2015. \n\n\n\n\nThe prime asset in the information economy is not microchips or oil – it’s attention. It is a cognitive resource to humans\, but to the information market\, governed by an attention economy\, it is THE asset\, potentially making us collateral damage. Every user of social media is not a client\, but a product – an information product\, taking and receiving attention as a function of the information emitted and circulated. As a user one may speculate as to what sort of information people are willing to spend their precious attention on and produce in line with the business principle: “Enough of me\, what about you\, what do you think of me?”. If one adds to that the way in which users influence each other\, before one knows it we ourselves have become the collateral damage of the attention economy in the information market. \n\n\n\n\n \nCatherine Malabou is a Professor of Philosophy at the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy\, at Kingston University London\, and in the departments of Comparative Literature and European Languages and Studies at University of California Irvine. Her last books include Before Tomorrow: Epigenesis and Rationality (Cambridge: Polity Press\, 2016\, trans. Carolyn Shread); Morphing Intelligence\, From IQ to IA (New York: Columbia University Press\, 2018\, trans. Carolyn Shread); and Le Plaisir effacé\, Clitoris et pensée (Rivages\, 2020). \n\n\n\n\nThe notion of ‘uncanny valley’ was developed by robotician Masahiro Mori to characterise the relationship between the degree of a robot’s resemblance to a human being and the emotional response to it. The concept of the uncanny valley suggests that humanoids which appear almost\, but not exactly\, like real human beings cause uncanny feelings of eeriness and revulsion in observers. “Valley” denotes a dip in the human observer’s affinity for the replica. The more resemblant the replica\, the stronger the feeling of uncanniness (bottom of the valley). In this presentation\, Malabou asks if digital PTSD is susceptible to be caused by artificial relationships with uncanny robotic lovers and friends\, and the disappointment generated by the solitude\, unfulfillment\, caused by a type of alterity that remains alien to any registered definition of alterity. An otherness to other- ness. Why exactly is robotic uncanniness\, what type of traumas does it generate\, and are there ways to deal with it? \n\n\n\n\n \nOtobong Nkanga lives and works in Antwerp. Her solo exhibitions include Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea\, Rivoli-Torino (upcoming); Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art\, Middlesbrough (2020-21); Martin Gropius Bau\, Berlin and Henie Onstad Kunstsenter\, Høvikodden (both 2020); Zeitz MOCAA\, Cape Town; Tate St Ives (both 2019-20); Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago (2018). Additionally\, her work has been included in institutional group exhibitions such as 58th Venice Biennale (2019); Sharjah Biennial 14 (2019); documenta 14\, Athens–Kassel (2017); Moderna Museet\, Stockholm; Centre Pompidou\, Paris (both 2016); 13th Biennale de Lyon (2015). In 2019\, Nkanga received a Special Mention Award at the 58th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia and was also awarded the Sharjah Biennial Prize (with Emeka Ogboh); the Peter-Weiss-Preis; and the Flemish Cultural Award for Visual Arts – Ultima. \n\n\n\n\nOtobong Nkanga’s practice reads the world on material terms\, mapping out how the body fits into a shared\, earthly narrative. In this conversation\, the artist speaks with Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev about digital PTSD in connection to alienated labour\, material extraction as well as digital addiction triggered by the loss of embodied relations accentuated by the pandemic. During the talk\, they also address the importance of Nkanga’s poly-sensorial approach to exhibition making\, and her research into capitalist production cycles which extract and shift energy from organic materials to inorganic\, invisible and intangible spaces making up the apparently seamless infrastructure of the digital world. \n\n\n\n\n \nTabita Rezaire currently lives and works in Cayenne\, French Guiana\, where she is birthing AMAKABA. She is an artist-healer-seeker working with screens and energy streams. Her cross-dimensional practice envisions network sciences – organic\, electronic and spiritual – as healing technologies to serve the shift towards heart consciousness. Navigating digital\, corporeal and ancestral memory as sites of struggles\, she digs into scientific imaginaries to tackle the pervasive matrix of coloniality that affect the songs of our body-mind-spirits. She has shown her work internationally at Centre Pompidou\, Paris; MoMa\, New York; MASP São Paulo; Gropius Bau\, Berlin; ICA and Tate Modern\, London. \n\n\n\n\nTo mark the conclusion of the event\, Tabita Rezaire invites us on a journey into the ancestral realms\, to call upon those who have walked the path we are walking\, to inform and guide us. Join Rezaire to sit with the ancestors\, to travel through the lineages who have birthed us\, to honour\, receive\, release\, and embody the gift of life. The meditation was recorded by Rezaire at her home\, in a cabane in the Amazonian Forest near Cayenne\, in French Guiana. \n\n\n\n\n \nLegacy Russell is a curator and writer. Born and raised in New York City\, she is the Associate Curator of Exhibitions at The Studio Museum in Harlem. Her academic\, curatorial\, and creative work focuses on gender\, performance\, digital selfdom\, internet idolatry\, and new media ritual. She is the recipient of the Thoma Foundation 2019 Arts Writing Award in Digital Art\, a 2020 Rauschenberg Residency Fellow\, and a recipient of the 2021 Creative Capital Award. Her first book Glitch Feminism: A Manifesto (2020) is published by Verso Books. Her second book\, BLACK MEME\, is forthcoming via Verso Books. \n#GLITCHFEMINISM (2018) is a video essay and performative lecture based on Legacy Russell’s research toward her recent publication Glitch Feminism: A Manifesto (2020)\, a vital new chapter in cyberfeminism. Glitch Feminism explores the relationship between gender\, technology and identity. In this urgent mani- festo\, Russell reveals the many ways that the glitch performs and transforms: how it refuses\, throws shade\, ghosts\, encrypts\, mobilises and survives. Russell argues that we need to embrace the glitch in order to break down the binaries and limitations that define gender\, race\, sexuality. \n[Photo credits Mina Alyeshmerni] \n\n \nMiao Ying is an artist based in New York and Shanghai. She is among the first generation of Chinese contemporary artists who grew up with the internet\, Chinese economic reform and one-child policy\, and were educated in both China and the West. She is known for her projects and writings addressing Chinese internet culture and dealing with her Stockholm Syndrome in relation to censorship. Her solo exhibitions include M+ Museum\, Hong Kong (2018); New Museum\, New York (2016); Chinese Pavilion\, Venice Biennale (2015). Her work has been featured in international groups shows at Castello di Rivoli\, Turin (2020); 12th Gwangju Biennale\, South Korea (2018); MoMA PS1\, New York (2017); UCCA\, Beijing (2017)\, amongst others. She is recipient of the Porsche Young Chinese Artist of the year (2018- 2019). \n\n\n\n\nIn this new video by Miao Ying\, her former online project Hardcore Digital Detox (2018) is captured as a website performing itself to the camera\, introducing the audience to the core elements of Miao’s innovative digital detox philosophy. Digital detox is commonly known as a period during which a person refrains from using electronic connecting devices\, such as smartphones and computers. What makes Miao’s digital detox hardcore is that one can stay connected the whole time. A companion to Miao’s project Chinternet Plus (2016)\, Hardcore Digital Detox similarly occupies the negative space left by the restricted Chinese internet. Far from seeing this as a deficiency\, Miao celebrates the ingenuity\, humour\, and intelligence of Chinese internet users\, and the rich visual culture shared behind the firewall.

SUMMARY:Supercondominio 3. A gathering of new contemporary art spaces in Italy
DESCRIPTION:Saturday July 17\, 2021 \n3.45 – 6 pm / 6.30 – 9 pm Performative keynotes open to the public\, Castello di Rivoli Theater9 – 11 pm Closed-door assembly\, Manica Lunga\n00.00 – 8 am Participant sleep and dream\n8 – 9 am Conclusions  \nParticipants:\nADA | Almanac | Altalena | BASTIONE | BRACE BRACE | CASTRO | Clima | Condylura |Cripta747 | Gelateria Sogni di Ghiaccio | Helicotrema | INCURVA | Instudio | Istituto Sicilia | LocaleDue | Montecristo project | MRZB | Museo Burel | Nationhood | P.I.A. | Progetto | ~salgemma | Siliqoon | Soyuz | Spazio Volta | SPETTRO | ~takecare | Toast Project Space  \nSupercondominio 3 is curated by Giulia Colletti\, Treti Galaxie (Matteo Mottin & Ramona Ponzini) and Laura Lecce. \nFollowing the isolating experience of the lockdown\, Supercondominio – standing for a residential unit where several buildings have a few assets in common – becomes an image for an ecology of coexistence\, based on physical interpersonal relationships and on in-depth knowledge sharing. \nCastello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea has invited some of the most influential young Italian art spaces devoted to artistic production to the third edition of Supercondominio. Entitled Odorate Ginestre (Perfumed needle furze)\, in homage to the poet Giacomo Leopardi (Recanati\, 1798 – Naples\, 1837)\, who composed La Ginestra (The needle furze) in 1836. It is a weekend of art and reflection on interspecies habitats where animal\, vegetal\, fungal\, human\, and even artificial intelligences merge together. \nSupercondominio 3 takes its cue from a proposition drafted by curators Giulia Colletti\, Treti Galaxie (Matteo Mottin & Ramona Ponzini) and Laura Lecce: \n“The secret intoxication caused by the sublime category of catastrophe\, the obsession and perversion of ecological thinking\, the escapism to other planets\, and the constant desire for purification of places and living bodies\, are inextricably intertwined in our time\, affected as it is by climate change that is not only altering the physical environment where we live\, but also has consequences on our mind\, causing an unexpected sense of nostalgia for the places where we lived yet we perceive changed today. How can we embrace a different awareness of the environment? Can the behavior of Leopardi’s needle furze provide us with new perspectives on a rapidly changing future? How can we realign our temporality by riding the germ’s decay – as so vividly described by the poet Wole Soyinka (Abeokuta\, Nigeria\, 1934)? Finally\, is it possible to learn how to look at the sky with the same intensity with which a plant eats light\, as the poet Mariangela Gualtieri (Cesena\, 1951) suggests?”  \nThe event will take place on Saturday July 17 and Sunday July 18 morning\, 2021. \nUndertaking a two-day-long collective investigation\, Supercondominio 3 invites the participating art spaces to immerse themselves in a retreat on the moraine hill of Rivoli in the Susa Valley\, in Piedmont. An exercise that recalls the Japanese practice of bathing in the woods. As Walt Whitman (West Hills\, 1819 – Camden\, 1892) suggests: bending down and linger to observe a blade of summer grass. \nIn the afternoon\, participants will share their research in the Theater of the Museum with the public. \nAs for the previous two editions – when Combo supported the initiative\, participants will sleep in tents. This year\, tents will be offered by Ferrino and C. S.p.A.\, set up in the Manica Lunga gardens. Founded in Turin in 1870\, Ferrino has specialized in the production of equipment (tents\, backpacks\, sleeping bags) and technical clothing for over 150 years alongside lovers of the outdoors. Sleeping under the stars will also be a chance to pay homage to artist Susan Hiller (Tallahassee\, 1940 – London\, 2019). Participants will re-activate the Dream Mapping experiment\, which Hiller carried out in the Hampshire region back in 1973. Each participant will write down their dreams in a notebook on the morning of July 18\, sharing their personal experience. The results of this reflection and the documentation of the event will be collected by the CRRI Research Institute of the Museum. \n\nBIOGRAPHIES \nADA (Rome\, 2017) www.ada-project.it\nADA is a contemporary art gallery founded by Carla Chiarchiaro in Rome back in 2017.

The electric bus to Castello di Rivoli\nA program of Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea in collaboration with Iveco\, Arriva\, and Enel X\, Libreria Internazionale Luxemburg\, Turin\, with the support of Faust\, Turin \nCastello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea presents Magic Electric Bus\, a proposal by Gianluigi Ricuperati/Faust. The project is coordinated by Roberta Aghemo\, with the curatorial assistance of Giulia Colletti. From July to December 2021\, once a month\, an arts program will take place on board an electric shuttle\, during the journey of approximately 45 minutes from Turin to Rivoli. Decorated by the artist Claudia Comte\, The Magic Electric Bus connects Turin to Rivoli and welcomes personalities and artists\, who will present special contents to the participating public. The first journey will take place on Saturday July 17 with three guests from Turin: the novelist Gianluigi Ricuperati; the artist Ramona Ponzini\, who will present a site-specific soundtrack; and the artist Guglielmo Castelli\, who will produce a collaborative work with the travelers. On the bus\, Castello di Rivoli Director Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev will introduce and moderate the program. \nMagic Electric Bus intends to create a dialogue between literature\, art\, and Museum exhibitions. Each journey will involve an author and an artist on the bus and also writers connected remotely. \nAs for the project Glass-nost – organized by Castello di Rivoli in 2020\, Magic Electric Bus takes its cue from the notion of transparency. The windows of the shuttle are an element that divides but at the same time offers an unexpected reading of the city of Turin and connection between art and life. \nCarolyn Christov-Bakargiev\, Director of the Castello di Rivoli\, states “In 1967 the Beatles released Magical Mystery Tour. Fifty years later\, at the crossroads of the ecological crisis and the digital revolution\, Castello di Rivoli presents Magic Electric Bus\, a program in collaboration with Iveco Bus\, Arriva\, and Enel X. Once a month\, the public will be able to hop on an electric bus from Turin to Rivoli\, and live an artistic and magical experience.” \n“An invitation to travel / to that country resembling you. With these words\, Baudelaire reminds us that movement is a fundamental condition of living creatures that avoid being still. Covering the distance between Turin and Rivoli\, our Magic Bus fosters a dialogue between authors\, artists\, and arts professionals.

SUMMARY:Uýra Sodoma
DESCRIPTION:Florestas que dormem sob o asfalto (Forests that sleep under the asphalt)\nSaturday July 17\, 2021\, 3 – 3.30 pm\nOutdoor Atrium\, Castello di Rivoli \nAs part of Espressioni. The Proposition\, a project investigating histories of art to expand the traditional canons of “expression” related to European artistic movements\, Saturday 17 July at 3 pm Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea presents the performance of the indigenous artist Emerson Uýra (Santarém\, Brazil\, 1991) entitled Florestas que dormem sob o asfalto (Forests that sleep under the asphalt\, 2021)\, in anticipation of the artist’s participation in the 34th Biennale of Sao Paulo (September 4 – December 5\, 2021). The artist intertwines the ancestral wisdom of the peoples of Brazil with the canonical scientific and biological knowledge of modernity\, evoking lost properties and memories relating to plants and the beings that inhabit them. Uýra Sodoma looks like a ‘walking tree’\, a hybrid entity whose appearance is constantly evolving\, just like nature. \nAfter being presented at the Kunstraum Innsbruck on 10 July 2021\, Florestas que dormem sob o asfalto becomes a moment where Uýra Sodoma embraces the specificity of the flora of the Susa Valley. “Under the view of worlds that insist on everything being straight\,” the artist states\, “the seed claims the right to make curves.” It has just arrived. It is sleeping and Uýra Sodoma wakes it\, drawing its shape on the stone of the Museum courtyard\, watering it to move the forest under the ground. According to the artist it is movement and metamorphosis the truly pulsating and potential spirit of all living beings. \nThe photographic documentation of the performance at the Castello di Rivoli will be presented on the occasion of Espressioni. The Epilogue\, which will open to the public on November 4\, 2021. \nBiography\n \n  \nEmerson Uýra (Santarém\, Brazil\, 1991) is a performer\, biologist and teacher from the Amazonian city of Santarém\, Brazil. He uses art as a tool to disclose the indigenous environment. Uýra has participated in various exhibitions such as Salão Arte Paraná\, VII edition of the EDP Prêmio at Instituto Tomie Ohtake\, Instituto Moreira Salle or Museu de Arte in Rio de Janeiro. Through the alter ego Uýra Sodoma\, the artist travels in the river communities of the region teaching and promoting the protection of the environment. Uýra Sodoma was born in 2016\, when the artist decides to expand his university research and seek new ways of acting to bring the debate on ecological conservation to the communities of Manaus and its surroundings. In biology lectures or in photographic performances\, in make-up and camouflage\, in texts and installations\, Uýra Sodoma talks speaks of the forest and with the forest.

For the occasion\, IVECO BUS will supply an IVECO E-WAY Full Electric\, a completely green vehicle with the latest generation of safety and power system. Decorated by artist Claudia Comte\, the Magic Electric Bus connects Turin to Rivoli and welcomes personalities and artists\, who will present special contents to the participating public. \nAfter the success of the maiden voyage\, Magic Electric Bus returns on Saturday October 23 with four guests from Turin: the novelist Gianluigi Ricuperati\, the authors Mario Capello and Marco Lupo\, and the artists Guglielmo Castelli and Alice Visentin. While the painter Guglielmo Castelli proposes a participatory project under the sign of the Surrealist-inspired Cadavre Exquis and the artist Alice Visentin creates a musical performance on board\, involving musicians from the Piedmontese Alpine valleys\, the author Mario Capello reads pages of Lovecraft’s book just published by Einaudi. The author Marco Lupo reads an excerpt from his novel “Hamburg. La sabbia del tempo scomparso”\, edito da Il Saggiatore. On the bus\, Castello di Rivoli Director Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev will introduce the program. \nMagic Electric Bus intends to create a dialogue between literature\, art\, and Museum exhibitions. Each journey will involve an author and almost an artist or a writer.\nThe project develops through the windows of the shuttle that are an element that divides but at the same time offers an unexpected reading of the city of Turin and connection between art and life. \nCarolyn Christov-Bakargiev\, Director of the Castello di Rivoli\, states “In 1967 the Beatles released Magical Mystery Tour.

SUMMARY:Bracha L. Ettinger in conversation with Marcella Beccaria and Andrea Viliani
DESCRIPTION:On November 3 at 6 pm\, Castello di Rivoli hosts a conversation between the artist Bracha Ettinger\, Chief Curator Marcella Beccaria\, and Head and Curator of CRRI Castello di Rivoli Research Institute Andrea Viliani on the occasion of the opening of Bracha L. Ettinger. Bracha’s Notebooks.  \nWithin the overall Museum program of Espressioni in 2021 – 2022\, Castello di Rivoli Research Institute (CRRI)\, in collaboration with the curatorial department of the Museum\, organizes the first solo exhibition in an Italian institution dedicated to Bracha L. Ettinger (Tel Aviv\, 1948) whose artistic practice intertwines with her work and research as a philosopher and psychoanalyst. \nBracha L. Ettinger’s practice has its roots in her autobiographical past\, in the history of her parents who survived the Holocaust; it explores the concepts of trauma\, oblivion\, the feminine and matrixial gaze\, of the space of the unconscious and of the transition from invisible to visible enlightening art’s capacity of “healing”. Her notebooks\, as her paintings\, are characterized by a dimension between the abstract and the figurative\, obtained through fine brushmarks and layers of color and shapes that create an atmosphere oscillating between darkness and light\, and invite viewers to immerse themselves in an intimate and spiritual dimension. \nThe exhibition presents a selection of 5 paintings and approximately 50 notebooks and used by the artist to annotate and trace her associations\, reflections\, and working notes\, joining together words and drawings. These notebooks are written in three languages (French\, English and Hebrew) and divided between listening notebooks and artist’s notebooks; they testify Bracha L. Ettinger’s dual activity and constitute a privileged point of view for understanding her practice and her thinking. Bracha L. Ettinger’s notebooks are displayed in a site-specific and unitary installation in the historical gallery of Castello di Rivoli called “Room of the Sleeping Putti” that used to be the King’s room and that was decorated in 1720. The vitrines\, where the notebooks are presented are in dialog with the frescoes of the ceiling\, creating an organic experience for the visitors who can move freely to see closely each notebook in a meditative atmosphere. \nOn the occasion of Bracha L. Ettinger’ solo exhibition\, Castello di Rivoli Research Institute (CRRI) will receive the exhibited notebooks from the artist\, and will start organizing their digitalization\, transcription and translation. At the end of the exhibition this material will remain available to worldwide scholars and researchers for consultation in the CRRI premises\, located within the Museum Library. \nThe exhibition is accompanied by a bilingual (English/Italian) publication with new essays by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev\, Marcella Beccaria and Andrea Viliani including a selection of images from the artist’s notebooks. \nCastello di Rivoli CRRI’s activities are supported by  \n  \nThe exhibition and catalog are supported by Artis\, New York; Richard Saltoun Gallery\, London; Braverman Gallery\, Tel Aviv; Ufficio Culturale Ambasciata di Israele\, Rome \n \nBiography \nBracha L.

SUMMARY:The Cerruti Collection Catalogue
DESCRIPTION:On November 5\, 2021\, the Fondazione Francesco Federico Cerruti and the Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea present The Cerruti Collection Catalogue\, published by Umberto Allemandi Editore and edited by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev.  This two volumes publication of over 1\,200 pages is the result of three-year long research project involving 89 Italian and international scholars. \nResearch for the Cerruti Collection general catalog began in 2017. It has involved numerous Italian and international scholars over three years\, who have contributed according to their specific fields of expertise. This has led to an extraordinary polyphony of views\, translating into multiple different standpoints well suited to the multifaceted nature of Francesco Federico Cerruti’s art collection. \nFrancesco Federico Cerruti (Genoa\, 1922 – Turin\, 2015) moved to Turin in 1923 where\, since late 1950s\, he expanded his father’s small binding business\, turning it into a success. \nFrom the 1960s until his death\, Francesco Federico Cerruti collected some 300 works of sculpture and painting\, ranging from the Middle Ages to today\, plus approximately 200 rare and ancient books\, and over 300 furnishings including carpets and desks by renowned cabinet makers. Cerruti assembled a primarily European collection – very strong in Italian art – that provides a journey into the history of art\, from furniture to historic art\, from the Renaissance to today. It is a private collection of immense quality\, like very few in Europe and the world\, including extraordinary works ranging from Bernardo Daddi\, Bergognone\, Pontormo\, Ribera and Batoni to Renoir\, Modigliani\, Kandinsky\, Giacometti\, Picasso\, Klee\, de Chirico\, Severini\, Boccioni\, Balla\, and Magritte\, as well as Bacon\, Burri\, Fontana\, Warhol\, De Dominicis\, and Paolini. \nThe Cerruti Collection Catalogue focuses on his unique collection\, which opened to the public in 2019. The first volume opens with a visual essay\, taking the reader on a journey through the rooms and garden of Villa Cerruti\, a few hundred meters away from Castello di Rivoli. This is followed by essays on the following themes: The Art Collection; The Manuscripts\, Books and Bindings; The Furnishings\, Carpets and Decorative Arts; The House Museum. This publication aims at understanding the artworks in the collection and their provenance as well as establishing a relationship between the collector and the building where he decided to house his treasures. Volume one of the catalog begins with a section on Manuscripts\, Books\, and Bindings. Volume one also includes entries for Painting\, Sculpture\, and Works on Paper from the 14th Century to the 19th Century. In volume two\, the Catalogue continues with Painting\, Sculpture\, and Works on Paper from the 20th Century\, Furniture and Furnishings\, Carpets and Other Textiles\, and Decorative Arts. In each section\, the works are chronologically presented except for the works by the same author\, which are grouped together starting with the oldest piece. Lastly\, the End Matter section comprises a biography of Cerruti and of the authors. \nAuthors of the catalog include: Vivian Endicott Barnett\, Independent art historian and curator\, author of four volumes of the Kandinsky catalogue raisonné; Marcella Beccaria\, Chief curator and collections curator\, Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea\, Rivoli-Turin; Fabio Belloni\, Associate Professor of Contemporary Art History\, Università degli Studi di Torino; Achille Bonito Oliva\, art critic who developed the theory of the Transavangardia\, giving rise to the eponymous artistic movement; Emily Braun\, Distinguished Professor\, Hunter College and the Graduate Center\, Cuny\, New York; Fabio Cafagna\, Art historian and catalog editor\, Cerruti Collection\, Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea\, Rivoli-Turin; Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev\, Director Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea and Fondazione Francesco Federico Cerruti per l’Arte\, Rivoli-Turin; Ester Coen\, Art historian\, expert in Futurism\, Metaphysics and international art from the avant-gardes to contemporary art; Andrea De Marchi\, Full Professor of Medieval Art History\, Università degli Studi di Firenze; Carlo Falciani\, Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art History\, Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze; Flavio Fergonzi\, Full Professor of Contemporary Art History\, Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa; Mirjam Foot\, DLitt\, FSA\, former Director of Collections and Preservation at the British Library\, London; Marie Kakinuma\, Art History Researcher\, Zentrum Paul Klee\, Bern; Veronica Peselmann\, Researcher and Lecturer\, University of Bielefeld\, Department for Art History and Historical Image Studies; Emilia Philippot\, Chief Curator and Curator of the Collections\, Musée National Picasso\, Paris; Salvatore Settis\, Emeritus Professor\, Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa; Marco Vallora\, Journalist\, essayist and friend of Francesco Federico Cerruti; Claudio Zambianchi\, Full Professor of Contemporary Art History\, La Sapienza – Università di Roma\, among others. \nItalian and international authors of the catalog taking part in the Conference include: Vivian Endicott Barnett\, Emily Braun\, Giorgina Bertolino\, Virginia Bertone\, Andrea De Marchi\, Mirjam Foot\, Marie Kakinuma\, Veronica Peselmann\, Emilia Philippot\, Aurora Scotti\, Salvatore Settis\, Claudio Zambianchi\, among others. \nProgram. \nProgramma PUBBLICO ENG_Collezione Cerruti_Presentazione catalogo generale_05.11.2021_final2
