Namsal Siedlecki: ORIZZONTI DEL CORPO Arte/Danza/Realtà Virtuale

Exhibition: ORIZZONTI DEL CORPO Arte/Danza/Realtà Virtuale at Fondazione Palazzo Magnani

Curated by Marina Dacci

An innovative meeting between dance and visual arts, combining works of art and performances, born from the collaboration between Fondazione Palazzo Magnani and Fondazione Nazionale della Danza – Aterballetto. The project brings together visual and performing arts and technology in a continuous exchange: art, with the works of thirteen contemporary artists; dance, with the six MicroDances created by five international choreographers; and technology, with virtual and immersive tools that will allow visitors to continue to watch the performances – staged live only on the opening and closing days – for the entire duration of the exhibition, enabling them to encounter both the physicality of the dancers and the material of the art in an entirely new way and triggering a new relationship with space.

The exhibition takes place in eight rooms of the historic Palazzo da Mosto, connecting dance installations with around thirty works of contemporary art by the thirteen invited artists: Leonardo Anker Vandal, Bianco-Valente, Fabrizio Cotognini, Antonio Fiorentino, Silvia Giambrone, Gianluca Malgeri, Matteo Montani, Mustafa Sabbagh, Vincenzo Schillaci, Namsal Siedlecki, Sissi and Giovanni Termini.

Their works, by vocation and assonance, create an open dialogue with the six MicroDances of the five choreographers: Saul Daniele Ardillo, Ina Lesnanowski, Philippe Kratz, Angelin Preljocai, Diego Tortelli. These are performances of just a few minutes, for one or two, three performers, conceived by the Director General and Programming of the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza/Aterballetto, Gigi Cristoforetti.

On view Nov. 12, 2021 to Jan. 16, 2022 at Fondazione Palazzo Magnani
