Descrizione

In the museum of Palazzo Belmonte Riso, a wide selection of works from the permanent collection of the Museum is available, which includes works created by Sicilian artists active inside and outside the island, from the 1950s to today, alongside works by Italian or international artists who have worked in Sicily and were also called for specific projects. The common thread of the collection, therefore, is the link between the works and the artists and the territory. On display at Palazzo Belmonte Riso, works by Carla Accardi, Rosario Arizza, Micol Assäel, Christian Boltanski, Michele Canzoneri, Pietro Consagra, Emilio Isgrò, Jannis Kounellis, Richard Long, Paola Pivi, Antonio Sanfilippo. The exhibition itinerary was enriched with photographs, installations, paintings and videos acquired through Ministerial Calls. With the project “Percorsi di Memoria” (PAC 2020) works by internationally renowned artists have entered the collection, Vanessa Beecroft, Shay Frisch, Regina José Galindo, Hermann Nitsch, Aldo Palazzolo; with the project “Percorsi di Memoria # 2” (PAC 2022-23) a work by William Kentridge has entered the collection. These are works who have marked the cultural and exhibition activity of the last two decades on the island, in connection with the permanent collection of the Museum starting from some conceptual nuclei linked to the theme of memory, death, the body as energy, vital power, bearer of stories and living matter. The new museum layout also features installations by Cesare Viel, winner of the Italian Council, alongside the most recent acquisitions of works by Gianfranco Anastasio, Guido Baragli, Bizhan Bassiri, Michele Ciacciofera, Rossella Leone, Enzo Rovella, Medath Shafik.
