A collective heritage that is rooted in the memory of the place and opens the horizon to the languages ​​of the younger generations. \nThe MAN museum in Nuoro is pleased to announce The imagined affinities\, a large exhibition dedicated to the historical collection that comes out of storage for a reinterpretation and rearrangement project. The path is aimed at the participation of the local community\, to activate a reflection on identity issues\, but with a sensitive eye to universal perspectives. \nFrom the microhistory to the macrohistory of man: Sardinia\, its art\, its culture\, represent an exemplary case of major facts\, a concentration of events that reflect the Italian ones\, in a limited but fundamental dimension as a piece of a broad horizon. \nFrom the realism of Antonio Ballero to the divisionism of the former Sironi \, from returning to the order of Ciusa Romagna to the bourgeois realism of Francesca Devoto \, from the abstractionism of Mauro Manca to the extraordinary lives of Little boy \, Nivola And Painters \, by the bursting and touching creativity of Maria Lai\, up to the research of the latest generations. In this case\, site-specific installations created for the museum spaces as part of prizes won thanks to the Ministry’s tenders stand out and where the names of emerging Sardinians alternate with others\, called to inhabit and tell the story of the island. \nA choice of 100 masterpieces out of a thousand works from the permanent collection punctuate a path rethought in the light of new investigations and in the aftermath of the publication of the catalog published by Officina Libraria with the title “100 Masterpieces from the MAN collection”. \nA 360-degree survey of acquisitions\, donations and loans allows us to read the connections between subjects and authors\, iconographies and variants in a different way. \nThe installation inspired by a sort of time machine – unlike the classic chronological progression – creates short circuits\, comings and goings\, flashbacks and leaps into the contemporary – in order to stimulate possible affinities\, legacies of style or content in the visitor. The tributes to are important Costantino Nivola (chosen by Adriano Pedrosa\, curator of the next Venice Biennale for his exhibition dedicated to exiles around the world) as well as Jorge Eielson (in line with the international celebrations for the centenary of his birth)\, and to Guido Strazza master of Italian abstraction from the post-war period onwards\, linked to Sardinia by his maternal birth and by a strong intellectual friendship with Maria Lai. Strazza donated three monumental works to the MAN\, now exhibited for the first time.

The ritual march from the mine to the island of Sant’Antioco\, from sunset to dawn\, is emphasized by the stick that accompanies the journey\, which later became an integral part of the work presented in the exhibition. \nThe use of 16 mm film is\, in its fragility\, functional to the overall meaning of the story\, evoking the alchemical component of transformation of matter that all the works on display have in common. \nThe metamorphosis of the skull of a creature halfway between dog (Dog) and divinity (God) is at the center of Dogod \, whose constituent elements\, coming from the Cirdu pond\, in Sant’Antioco\, were assembled to then create the lost wax casting in white bronze exhibited here. Sculpture also refers to Sulcis Pinna Nobilis \, produced from the cast of a specimen of the homonymous bivalve species endemic to the Mediterranean\, also recovered in Punta Trettu during the making of the film. \nThe works on display\, among the most emblematic and representative of Giorgio Andreotta Calò’s research\, accompany the visitor in depth: into the depths of the earth\, but also into the essence of the artist’s method. In this way\, landscape and history are assimilated by the works\, becoming an essential term. \n\n\n\n\n\nBIOGRAPHY\n\n\nBorn in Venice in 1979\, Giorgio Andreotta Calò lives and works in Venice. \nHe studied sculpture at the Venice Academy and the Kunsthochschule in Berlin. Between 2008 and 2010 he was artist in residence at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. In 2011 Calò’s work was presented at the 54th Venice Biennale directed by Bice Curiger. In 2012 he won the Italy Prize for contemporary art promoted by the MAXXI Museum. In 2014 he won the New York Prize\, promoted by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In 2017 he is one of the three artists invited to represent Italy in the Pavilion curated by Cecilia Alemani at 57. International Art Exhibition at the Venice Biennale. In 2018\, with the project Anastasis \, wins the Italian Council tender promoted by the Ministry of Culture\, for the creation of a monumental installation at the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam. In 2019 a personal exhibition was dedicated to him at Pirelli Hangar Bicocca. His works are part of numerous public and private collections in Italy and abroad. \nThe project is supported by the PAC 2022-2023 – Plan for Contemporary Art\, promoted by the General Directorate for Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture.

The work will become part of the MAN collection in Nuoro. \n\n\n\n\nTHE EXHIBITION\n\n\nMAN presents the exhibition The Magic Mountain by Micol Roubini\, centered on a work that takes the form of a video installation of environmental dimensions and which will occupy the rooms on the first floor of the museum. \nThe project The Magic Mountain was born from the meeting of Micol Roubini with the Corio and Balangero area. \nAlways interested in the memorial traces of places and people\, and involved in long-term projects in the area\, the artist recounts the phase post industrial analyzing the dense network of relationships that\, with the context\, entertain the inhabitants. \nWe are\, in fact\, in Northern Italy\, a few tens of kilometers from Turin: a densely populated area. Yet a suspended atmosphere dominates in the towns of Corio and Balangero and in the adjacent disused asbestos quarry. \nActive from 1918 to 1990\, Amiantifera was the largest open-air quarry in Europe. Today the area is at the center of an extensive reclamation project; the still legible signs of extractive activity coexist with the traces of a progressive growing wild\, with the reappearance\, both natural and induced\, of various plant and animal species. \nIn the video installation The Magic Mountain different levels are intertwined including the process of colonization of contaminated land by plants and lichens\, laboratory research on asbestos\, the suggestions at the origin of the very history of the use of the mineral\, considered since ancient times magical for its extraordinary fire-retardant properties. \nThe ongoing transition phase pits a recent past marked by some of the most complex events in Italian industrial history against a future reconversion aimed at returning large areas of the mountain\, currently inaccessible\, to the communities that surround it. \nAmong Roubini’s research trajectories\, one concerned the dreamlike imagination of the inhabitants of the area\, mostly former mine workers or their family members; a way to investigate their internal experience with respect to the complexity of the situation. \nThe magic mountain it is a video installation\, 4 channels\, 2023\, super 16mm transferred to 2K\, sound\, 24’30”. \n\n\n\n\nMICOL ROUBINI\n\n\nShe was born in 1982 in Milan\, where she lives and works. She graduated from the Brera Academy and the Univeristät der Künste in Berlin. Since 2021 he has been teaching New Languages ​​of Visual Communication at CFP Bauer\, Milan. His research investigates the balance between man and territory\, between cultural systems and landscape morphology\, between history\, migrations and individual memories. \nHe has exhibited at Museo Casa Testori (2021)\, Premio Matteo Oliviero (2017)\, Hotel Charleroi (2013). He carried out the project Clandestine deeds for movable lands (Palazzo Magnani Foundation 2021). He has participated in video exhibitions at Villa Medici (2021)\, Pavilion (Poznan 2021)\, LightCone (Paris 2017)\, Scotland’s Center for Photography (2012). \nHe has conducted masterclasses (Locarno Film Festival 2022) and participated in residencies including Fondazione Pistoletto (2017)\, Scottish Sculpture Workshop (2013). His movie The road to the mountains (2019)\, in competition at Cinema du Réel and at other European festivals\, it won the Corso Salani Award at the Trieste Film Festival 2020. \n\n\n\n\nGABI SCARDI\n\n\nShe is a curator and critic of contemporary art\, for years involved in public projects and social practices.

We find traces of this experience in the collages present in the exhibition\, which make up a texture that is knotted around an original territory\, Sardinia – the artist’s homeland – to then reconnect with the Mediterranean. \nTogether with the collages\, the evocation of the handkerchiefs that accompany the crying ritual inspired by Cecilia Mangini’s documentary on the Apulian tradition\, crystallize in the process of solidification through the firing of the ceramic\, which burns the soul of the internal fabric leaving a void in the sculpture \, an absence. To complete the restitution of Medda’s research\, an artist’s notebook visually collects the scenes in a poetic storyboard. Images of the sea and some polaroids worked as if this water became skin\, translate a visual horizon\, which is both liquid and corporeal. \nThe project is presented by ZEIT (leader)\, in partnership with MAN Museum of Art Province of Nuoro \, Sardinia Theatre \, Arts Center 404 / VierNulVier (Ghent\, BE) e Flux Factory (New York) in collaboration with the Sardinia Film Commission Foundation and supported by ARS – Shared Art in Sardinia for the Foundation of Sardinia (project sponsor). The cultural partners are Careof \, BIG Bari International Gender Festival \, RAMDOM \, Alchemilla . \nThe artist is supported by the European Large-Scale Network Stronger Peripheries – A Southern Coalition thanks to the support of Sardinia Theatre \, Bunker Ljubljana \, The Mondaino Arboretum . \n“ The work is conceived as a funeral ritual for the sea ” – declares the artist Valentina Medda – “a participatory performance inspired by the tradition of funeral laments in which a group of women dressed in black give life to a shared cry\, a ritual that looks to the choir as the only possible language to tell a contemporary tragedy. In crying for the Mediterranean and its dead – continues the artist – the attempt is to give voice and body back through poetic and political action to those lives considered expendable\, those that do not even deserve mourning\, as the philosopher Judith Butler states. The sea here is an extension of the body\, which loses its boundaries and becomes liquid\, an aqueous creature. The question of where the body ends and where space begins has shaped\, in fact\, all my research over the last 10 years\, through different languages ​​and in different ways\, questioning the distinction between the physicality of the individual and external materiality. in an attempt to create an embodied geography and imagine new hybrid bodies\, finding the thread that binds all vibrant materials\, living and non-living”. \n\n\n\n\n\nVALENTINA MEDDA\n\n\nBiography \nValentina Medda is a Sardinian interdisciplinary artist who lives in Bologna. He studied photography at the ICP – International Center of Photography in New York.
