The body and the shelter: contemporary art and responsibility. A conversation with the D’Innocenzo Brothers

art, people

Responsibility is the fire of art. And art seems to have forgotten it. But the D’Innocenzo Brothers walk through the flames, between lacerating poetry and images disturbingly beautiful. Among the most acclaimed and essential voices in contemporary international cinema, their work is cerebral concussion.

Aestheticsanaesthetics. Tracklist of a pas de deux

To be outside, to be under, to be against, in order to give voice to the different. Ethics is the beating heart of aesthetics when it has the courage, freedom and power to be anarchist, neither indifferent nor complacent, becoming voice of the Third Landscape.

The body and shelter: right to water and contemporary art. A conversation with Gian Maria Tosatti

art, people

We immerse ourselves in the aesthetics of water and its symbolic power through the meeting with Gian Maria Tosatti – to whom, in 2022, Italy has entrusted its largest artistic institutions, the Venice Biennale and the Rome Quadrennial – choosing him as a bright beacon to investigate the shelter that his art has offered to water as a universal right, and to culture as interdisciplinary fluidity.
