At the Fringes of
Identity, Contemporary Video Art from the Han Nefkens Foundation is an
exhibition of video art curated by Giacomo Zaza. There will be two
opportunities to see the exhibition in Italy: from 20th June to 8th September
2019 at MUST (Museo Storicodella Città di Lecce), opening on 20th June at
7.30pm, and from 28th September to 24th November 2019 at MAC (Museo d’Arte
Contemporanea di Lissone), opening on 29th September at 6pm.
The works on show
confront the theme of intercultural identity. The social, ethnic and gender
issuesthat they address invite a form of reflection centred on the human aspect
of the processes transforming the contemporary world. Fifteen artists from
diverse parts of the world (Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia and the Middle
East) comment on sociological and cultural themes from different points of
view, in a diverse range of narrative idioms.
The videos have been
selected from the collection of the Han Nefkens Foundation in Barcelona and
from the finalist artists from the Premio de Producción de Vídeo Arte Fundación
Han Nefkens – CAC Quito 2018.
The exhibition
project was developed for the MAC in Lissone and will be presented to the
public for the first time at the MUST in Lecce thanks to the support of UBI
Banca and with the patronage of the City of Lecce's Assessorato alla Cultura.
