Generation Earth DESCRIPTION:curated by Chiara Gatti\, Elisabetta Masala \nin collaboration with Storyville \nwith texts in the catalogue by Felice Cimatti and Fabio Merlini \nThe MAN of Nuoro announces a major exhibition for the summer that will transform all the rooms of the museum into a dynamic and sensitive space\, made up of narratives and visions\, memories of the earth and new horizons. The MAN\, how a gigantic diorama – boxed illusion of a realistic world\, device used above all in natural history museums to illustrate the environments of the biosphere – will return to offer the public an experience of “crossing” the museum\, already tested in 2022 with the exhibition SENSORAMA \, questioning ourselves once again on current issues. Derived from Greek say ( through) e òrama ( vision)\, DIORAMA means “to see through” or “into something.” In this case\, through cross-sections of natural and unnatural worlds\, populated with real or recreated creatures and vegetation\, in a perspective that makes the limit between authentic or generated by artificial intelligence\, possible or impossible\, increasingly ambiguous. \nIn a period marked by unprecedented ecological and social changes\, with impacts that extend across time and space\, it is important to reconsider our relationship with the world and its rapid metamorphoses. We are faced with a global ecological transformation that requires a profound reflection on the condition of the human being\, on the history of the earth\, and our connection with other living creatures. Rethinking our relationship with the planet implies the research of new languages and new forms of communication\, which are essential for renewing connections between the human and non-human world. DIORAMA – Generation Earth stems from the belief that we must take an active role in this reinvention process. The idea of being the first generation to tackle the realistic possibility of the extinction of the human species engenders a strong feeling of anxiety. Starting from this sense of disconcertment\, DIORAMA explores the current scenario\, without claiming to offer an exhaustive analytical investigation\, putting forward possible visions that take into account these compelling issues. \nThrough an array of works including paintings and sculptures\, installations and videos\, selected Italian and international artists advance sweeping interpretations\, from mimetic creativity to post-natural prospects\, from interspecific hybridisation to taxidermy and wonder-rooms\, from the invention of natural landscapes to unexplored visions of generative intelligence. Through the works on display\, DIORAMA – Generation Earth wants to stir critical dialogue and reflection on our standpoint within the biosphere and prompt a renewed relationship with it. The artists therefore become catalysts of a radical change thanks to their ability to see beyond the visible and invite the audience to lay the foundations for a different imagery that may lead us toward an inclusive future that respects all forms of life. \nChristiane Löhr (Wiesbaden\, 1965) Kleine Gräserkuppel / Little Grass Dome\, 2021 Grass stalks \n\nExhibition path\n“The origin” is the prologue of the exhibition: the creation of planet Earth and the galaxy. Visitors will witness the spectacle of the genesis of that amalgam composed of matter and dark energy. Underpinning the exhibit are key words such as organic and inorganic\, nature/art and its transformations: across the museum halls\, female and male artists take possession of ‘nature’\, enclosing it within their system/content that imitates it while conserving and reimagining it. \nLike one greenhouse production\, the natural world is recreated and imitated. Mimesis and representation animate the works of Barragão \, Kusumoto \, Roberti \, Illenberger \, Bauer . The natural world\, fixed in a sculptural form or sealed in the circuit of the fabric\, re-proposed by the sensitivity of man or by artificial intelligence\, acquires an unusual dynamism and a new reality. \nVanessa Barragão (Albufeira\, 1992)Portrait of Vanessa Barragão: recycling in textile art as a global manifesto\, 2019Textile fibre\, yarn\, crochet and hand weavingDHG\, Prato \nHybridisations\, interspeciesism\, and eco-dystopia are the scenarios of a near future displayed in the section reserved to alien ecosystems\, the upshots of post-naturalism\, the encounters with an otherness that requires reconsidering an anthropocentric perspective. A tunnel of light evokes a laboratory for hybrid creatures (by Massoulier\, Grünfeld\, Chiamenti) and culminates with a large work by Wangechi Mutu representing a fluid Mother Earth towering over the universe in which alien and terrestrial creatures blend\, without distinctions between male and female\, human beings\, animals and plants; a jubilee of the term ‘intertwined’: living beings that belong to a world that does not envisage divisions between races\, genders\, and species. \nArtists:\n\nVanessa Barragão \, Massimo Bartolini\, Susanna Bauer \, Alessandro Biggio\, Eelco Brand \, Julia Carrillo \, Giovanni Chiamenti \, Elisabetta Di Maggio \, Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg \, Thomas Grünfeld \, Sarah Illenberger \, Georges Koutsouris \, Mariko Kusumoto \, Chiara Lecca \, Christiane Löhr \, Théo Massoulier \, Wangechi Mutu\, Daniela Novello \, Francesco Panozzo\, Marta Roberti \, Giuliana Rosso\, Kiki Smith \, Ketty Tagliatti\, Thomas Thwaites \, Luca Trevisani \, Anna Citelli and Raoul Bretzel .

Dialogue Between Two Masterpieces DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the Accademia Nazionale di San Luca\, Rome and Musei Civici di Reggio Emilia \nFollowing the success of the exhibition dedicated to the ideal dialogue between Giotto and Lucio Fontana\, centered on gold and its symbolism\, the MAN Museum presents a new\, original project for Christmas 2024. This exhibition will explore the dialogue between two masterpieces by El Greco\, born Domínikos Theotokópoulos (1541–1614)\, the renowned master of Spain’s Golden Age. El Greco is famous for his elongated forms\, luminescent tones\, and the intense rhythm of lines and gestures on canvas. \nDubbed the “Delacroix of the Renaissance” and the “Nabi of beautiful icons\,” and admired by Cézanne and Picasso—who proclaimed his debt with the phrase\, “Yo soy El Greco!”—El Greco stands as one of the greatest figures of late Renaissance European painting. \nBorn in Crete in the first half of the sixteenth century\, then part of the Republic of Venice\, he moved to Venice in 1567. \nIn search of a new way of painting\, a dynamic dimension that departed from the two-dimensional\, abstract\, and static universe of Eastern tradition\, he worked in the workshop of the elderly Titian. From him\, he learned the expressive use of color: vibrant\, intense\, thick\, luminous\, and spiritual. In Venice\, he was struck by the sense of movement and the dramatic use of light by Tintoretto. From Jacopo Bassano\, he absorbed the formal elements of pictorial narration\, the use of perspective\, and architectural backgrounds. \nAfter a brief and tumultuous stay in Rome as a guest of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese\, he moved to Toledo\, dreaming of winning the favor of King Felipe II and being appointed the official painter of the cathedral. Although he did not achieve this honor\, he found prestigious commissions in the Spanish city that allowed him to develop his vibrant pictorial language\, characterized by sudden bursts of light and bold twists of fluid bodies\, which impart a keen expression of their feelings and the movements of the soul. \nThe MAN\, thanks to a collaborative agreement with the Accademia Nazionale di San Luca in Rome\, presents the recent discovery of a masterpiece by El Greco\, The Adoration of the Magi. This work remained unknown for centuries and has only recently been attributed to the Cretan genius\, thanks to a careful restoration and a scientific study campaign that has unveiled its troubled history. A documentary film produced by the MAN and directed by Stefano Conca Bonizzoni\, featuring contributions from Claudio Strinati\, Fabrizio Biferali\, and Fabio Porzio\, introduces visitors to the exhibition\, which also includes a second masterpiece\, The Blessing Christ from the Civic Museums of Reggio Emilia\, returning from an important retrospective of the master at the Royal Palace of Milan.

Accumuli DESCRIPTION:curated by Chiara Gatti with an essay by Bruno Corà – from November 22 to March 9\, 2025. \nArchitectures of nature. Domes of seeds and cathedrals of blades of grass. A large installation by the German-born artist\, Tuscan by adoption\, dots the first floor of the museum with diaphanous\, almost impalpable sculptures; an ode to the ethereality of nature and\, all the same\, to its complexity.\n \nThe talented and masterful hands of Christiane Löhr create sculptures made of dandelions\, stems\, pods\, or horsehair and hoist tapered arboreal structures up into the space\, edifying minimalist landscapes. \nSmall temples consisting of a plethora of abstract forms are enriched for this occasion with a special tribute to Sardinia: tiny piles of grains or seeds conjure towers and Nuragic constructions. In Löhr’s exploration\, natural inspiration is not a mere explanation of the vegetation and its species\, though. Her reflection raises matter to a dimension of radical abstraction and absolute form\, where paramount importance is attributed to balance and proportion between the elements\, sense of the space and value of the void. The exhibition also features a selection of pastel\, graphite\, and ink drawings on paper; the fruit of a similar sculptural process\, in which the fibres of paper are rubbed and scratched as if it were plastic. \n  \nPortrait Christiane Löhr / Foto Salvatore Mazza \nChristiane Löhr\, (Wiesbaden\, Germany\, 1965) lives and works in Prato and Cologne. She graduated from the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf with Jannis Kounellis in 1994; under his supervision\, she completed her Master of Arts in 1996. Her works were exhibited in several venues and art centres: Chaumont-sur-Loire\, Haus am Waldsee\, Museo e Real Bosco in Capodimonte\, Museo San Fedele in Milan\, Wuppertal\, Kunsthaus Baselland\, Muttenz\, MART in Rovereto\, Villa Panza in Varese\, Centro Pecci in Prato. In 2001\, she exhibited at the 49th Venice Art Biennale curated by Harald Szeemann and\, in 2016\, she was awarded the Premio Pino Pascali.

Scenafenomenica DESCRIPTION:  \ncurated by Elisabetta Masala with an essay by Juliette Desorgues \nMagic and mythology\, classical traditions and archaic culture merge in the exploration advanced by the Swiss artist\, who experiments with materials imbued with strong expressive value\, giving life to a choral narrative relying on epic nuances. \nDivinities of the earth and the night\, arcane symbols\, the beneficial properties of the plants and an ancient wisdom engulf Una Szeemann’s works with mystery and primordial memories\, as the wild sentiment of the woods takes shape through highly suggestive abstract forms. \nThe project designed for the MAN is tied to the land of Sardinia\, its harsh surroundings\, the folktale of Janas\, and the archaeological remnants in its landscape\, where nature seems to fossilise\, and blend with the rocks and peaks of Supramonte. \n   \nUna Szeemann – Courtesy dell’artista \nUna Szeemann (Locarno\, Switzerland\, 1975) lives and works in Zürich and Tegna. She studied drama in Milan. Her works were showcased at several international exhibitions\, including Kunsthaus Zürich\, Kunsthalle Winterthur\, Museo Cantonale d’Arte in Lugano\, Kunstmuseum Luzern\, Kunstverein Hamburg\, Belvedere 21 in Vienna\, Venice Art Biennale\, Busan Biennale\, Lyon Biennale\, and Manifesta 11 in Zürich. She lectures at several institutions and universities\, including the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste (ZHdK) and the Haute École d’Art et de Design in Geneva (HEAD).

Filira DESCRIPTION:curated by Chiara Gatti with an essay by Caterina Riva \nThe Cagliari-born artist presents an unprecedented project\, Filira (Phillyrea)\, showcasing a new series of works in an exhibit designed as an all-embracing environment where canvases and sculptures are connected to each other in a systematic and all the same unitary overall vision. Known for his exploration of ash generated by the combustion of plants from his garden in Calasetta\, which he turns into a plastic medium to create sculptures characterised by a fragile appearance\, Biggio has recently experimented with a form of painting using the juice of phillyrea berries that he squeezes to produce a dark ochre colour with purple nuances. Just as his series of ash sculptures is the result of an authentic reflection on the cycle of life and the elements\, the medium of painting transcribes imprints of nature\, in its metamorphosis and consumption. \nLingering in the background is the reference to a Greek myth: the nymph Philyra (Filira)\, daughter of Oceanus and Tethys\, was loved by Chronos from whom she tried to escape by transforming herself into a mare. But Chronos\, transforming himself into a stallion\, reached her and raped her. Philyra gave birth to a son\, a hybrid creature\, the centaur Chiron. Shocked at the sight of her son\, she asked Zeus to be transformed into a shrub that would take her name\, phillyrea. With the extract of the berries of this plant\, Biggio uses the canvas to trace the vestiges of an ephemeral vegetation. \n. \n\nA Biggio_portrait_ph Barbara Pau \nAlessandro Biggio \n\n(Cagliari\, 1975)\, lives and works in Cagliari and Calasetta. He graduated in economics and now dedicates himself to aesthetic research. In his artistic practice\, the process of exploration and experimentation on matter plays a fundamental role. His sculptures\, installations\, and monotypes are always the result of layered gestures and phases\, whose final result represents a possible moment of balance\, between control and loss of control over the process\, between decay and form. His participation in solo and group exhibitions in public and private spaces includes: Gherdëina Contemporary Art Biennale\, Museo MAN of Nuoro\, Fondazione di Sardegna\, Museo Marino Marini in Florence\, Gallerie d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea of Cagliari\, Galerie Stadtpark Krems\, GAMeC in Bergamo\, CLER in Milan\, Fondazione Bartoli-Felter in Cagliari. In 2020\, he was awarded the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant. \n  URL:https://www.museoman.it/en/event/alessandro-biggio-filira/ CATEGORIES:MAN ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.museoman.it/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Allestimento_Filira_Foto-Alessandro-Moni-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
