Anniversary celebrations: the Museum of Modern Art and the Summer Academy

The academy focuses this year on performance, set design, filmmaking and installations. At the museum, exhibitions by Mária Bartuszová and Marinella Senatoree

Salzburg, the Austrian city known for being the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and for its prestigious music festival, is closely associated with modern and contemporary art.

Critic, poet, artist, focuses his research on the theme of man, art, nature

The XL Biennale di Venezia vernissage, in 1988, beyond its usual manifestation as the time/place of art, allowed me to re- find Tony Cragg in the Pavilion of Great Britain, the English sculptor. I remembered the artworks presented just the year before in Kassel during Documenta 8, and the Greek critic Démosthènes Davvetas.

Two pictorial cycles on view: Ritratti and NOw/here

Gian Maria Tosatti presents two pictorial cycles at Pirelli HangarBicocca. Ritratti (2020) is realized with 4 big paintings onto a number of media which remind the advertising posters: iron panels assembled and installed on pipe structures. The artworks, spread along the Shed space, play with the light filtered by the windows creating a mirror effect. Gold and rust, opposing elements here symbolically juxtaposed, remind the man’s critical conditions.

Each sign is made by two essential elements: the signifier which is a practical element perceptible by senses; the significance, an abstract element, a concept linked to it. In each sign, the connection that combines signifier and significance is the result of an agreement between the creator and the user. The signs do not exist as single units: they combine each other according to precise rules, they are organized into codes. So, the issuer and the receiver must know the code that has been used, in order to make the communication possible.

How to navigate virtual galleries, metaverse and the market

We often hear about NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), a technology that has made possible the explosive expansion of digital art in the last 3 years, but almost never consider the huge revolution of decentralization that blockchain technology has introduced to the art world.

In recent times there is much talk about artificial intelligence, especially since Italy has banned the famous platform ChatGPT. Unfortunately, in Italy there is sometimes a tendency to exaggerate and distort the concept of protection of individuals: this is exactly what is happening regarding the regulation of privacy and access to certain technologies related to data analysis. Let’s focus on the case of artificial intelligence software called ChatGPT, produced by OpenAI, that has been prohibited by the Privacy Authority.

His first major solo exhibition in our country, with an itinerary which spans in 4.000 square meters

One of the most compelling contemporary artists is showing at the Gallerie d’Italia in Turin with works from his latest monumental project, “Déplacé∙e∙s.”. Intesa Sanpaolo is organizing the French artist’s first major solo exhibition by staging large- format canvases chronicling a series of journeys to the countries currently most scarred by crisis and war.

The exhibition, which is held in Palazzo Reale, extends as well to the natural history Museum, to the Hoepli Planetarium and to the Aquarium

“La pace preventiva” (“pre-emptive peace”) is the exhibition title with which Milan celebrates the Michelangelo Pistoletto 90th birthday, that is extended from Palazzo Reale to three other landmarks of the city.

1997 a moment of synthesis of the fashion of the 90s and hinge towards the new millennium

There are moments in the history of culture that mark the beginning of a new era. This is the case of 1997 for contemporary fashion. The Palais Galliera, the Paris fashion museum, dedicated to the history of clothing and Haute Couture, hosts until July 16th an exhibition dedicated to this fateful year, a synthesis of the fashion of the 90s and a moment hinged on the new millennium.

The story unfolds with flashbacks, between memories of a mysterious past and an enigmatic present

Some memories fade away, others are reinforced, almost consecrating themselves in time. Corrado knows well. He is the protagonist of this novel, who decides to retrace his steps obliterated by a long absence. The title “Without Ritanna” highlights this void left by an ancient history, abruptly interrupted, to which man, weakened by old age but determined and enigmatic, remains bound by a powerful narrative thread.
