Villa delle Rose’s promotion of artists active on the international scene continues with a first solo exhibition of the work of Antoni Muntadas (Barcelona 1942) in an Italian museum, entitled Muntadas. Interconnessioni, curated by Cecilia Guida and Lorenzo Balbi.
Promoted by Istituzione Bologna Musei | MAMbo, in conjunction with Artium, Centro-Museo Vasco de Arte Contemporáneo di Vitoria-Gasteiz, Álava and the partnership of Fondazione Federico Zeri and Dipartimento delle Arti dell'Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna, the exhibition follows on from a solo exhibition in Barcelona’s Contemporary Art Museum from 4th October 2019 to 12th January 2020.
The two twin exhibitions will differ in their specific relationship with their exhibition spaces. The Bologna exhibition has been specially designed for 18th century Villa delle Rose’s ‘domestic’ dimension, breathing life into a trajectory fostering an intimate relationship between exhibition and visitor starting from a warning at the entrance: “Warning! Perception requires involvment”.
Muntadas. Interconnessioni is one...of ART CITY Bologna's main projects, an institutional programme of exhibitions, events and special initiatives sponsored by Comune di Bologna council in conjunction with BolognaFiere on the occasion of Arte Fiera.
The exhibition analyses a cross section of Muntadas’s work stretching from the early 1970s to today, establishing precise new meaning and relationship spheres between the recurring themes in his interdisciplinary work: globalisation, trans-national capitalism, the device notion, the public/private relationship, the relationship between monuments and memory, the ‘microphysics’ of power, the archive dialogue, the translation process, information circulation, the political image channelled by the media.
On the occasion of Muntadas. Interconnessioni a Corraini Edizioni volume is to be published with critical contributions from Beatriz Herráez, Lorenzo Balbi, Cecilia Guida, Arturo fito Rodríguez Bornaetxea, Roberto Pinto and Gabriel Villota Toyos.
