archiving strategies - the next installation of the mai visti e altre storie project

10/26/2016

 
Mai Visti e Altre Storie continues!

On October 27th, the exhibition Archiving Strategies will open at the Arteco Temporary Space.  The exhibit is included in the wider context of Nesxt, an observatory in progress about the no-profit sphere intended as a fundamental and necessary area of the Art system - an independent research and experimentation zone in an incessant metamorphosis.

Archiving, recording, cataloging and preserving are common words in the context of contemporary artistic practice, conveying not only the necessity of transmission of memory, but also touching on varieties of reception.

In the rooms of an empty house hosting the Arteco Temporary Space, original artworks from artists belonging to the Mai Visti e Altre Storie archive show a plurality of archiving practices that start with the necessity of  preserving memories of daily-use objects through musealization, presented here in the photographic and cataloging objects of the Museum of Anthropology and Etnography of the University of Turin.  Liliana Macario who "knits the weave" of her own memories into a unique, long scarf, takes an intimate approach to memory.  Also on display is the extremely declared strategy pursued by Gaetano Carusotto through unfinished writing.  You'll also find patiently created artworks by Ernesto Levesque, in which text and watercolour have a dialogue.

Mai Visti e Altre Storie (Never Seen and Other Stories) is an archive preserving and enhancing Outsider Art in the Piedmont area.  It provides opportunities to reflect on the permeability of the boundaries between concepts as mainstream and outsider, commonness and abnormality, considering art and culture as shared heritage and instruments for active citizenship.  Click HERE for a full list of partners and to learn more.
