On the occasion of AMACI Contemporary Day, free entry to our temporary exhibitions.
Diana Anselmo | Je Vous Aime | March 19 - October 13, 2024
The first solo exhibition of Diana Anselmo (Verona, 1997) Deaf artist and performer. “Je Vous Aime” constitutes the new chapter of a larger project launched in 2023 with a lecture-performance with the same title. The exhibition project was born as the result of historical research developed in different archives and carried out in Turin in collaboration with the National Cinema Museum and in Paris with the Institut National des Jeunes Sourds and the Italian Cultural Institute in Paris. “Je Vous Aime” is an investigation into the relationship between pre-cinema and the history of oppression of the Deaf community.
Danielle McKinney | Fly on the Wall | 19 March – 13 October 2024
The first solo exhibition in Italy by Danielle McKinney (1981, Montgomery, Alabama, USA) offers a serie of paintings produced specifically for this occasion, together with a selection of existing works. Her images are often sourced from photographs found online, from magazines, and, above all, from other paintings, which McKinney uses to explore the nuances of gestures, colors and shapes of the female subject, approaching the tradition of figure painting from a contemporary lens.
Mohammed Sami | Isthmus | 19 March – 13 October 2024
“Isthmus”, Mohammed Sami's first solo exhibition in Italy (Baghdad, 1984), presents a new serie of paintings producted by the artist for this occasion. Sami focuses on the relationship between contemporary painting and episodic memory. The sensation of being momentarily and unconsciously pushed into a place of one's mind that is not "here", but elsewhere ("thereness") is at the center of the artist's works, which recirculate his experience of migration and persistence effects of this traumatic event on subjectivity.
Binta Diaw | Il peut pleurer du ciel | 20 June – 13 October 2024
Binta Diaw (Milano, 1995) creates an immersive installation that addresses the theme of migration in an unconventional way and away from the common clichés on the topic as well as from a political reading of the theme, to instead lead us towards the story of the sensitivity of the human body migrant in his ties with nature and the culture that surrounds him.
The exhibition is curated by Ilaria Bernardi, co-organized and co-produced by Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo and Associazione Genesi.
