Found in Translation
A theme-based tour dedicated to the 60th International Art Exhibition, Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere, which focuses in particular on the question of the translation of thoughts, identities and values between different communities. The projects of the Exhibition are considered and discussed as case studies of the problem of translation. What happens to our thoughts and beliefs when we translate them into another language in order to share them with a new community? Does their meaning get lost? Or is it not rather put back into play, with the opportunity to enrich and relaunch it? Is not every form of communication a process of translation, a gamble played out between risks and surprises?

I am another
A theme-based tour dedicated to the 60th International Art Exhibition, Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere, which focuses on projects that address the relationship between identity and otherness in each individual. Art appears as a privileged ground, over the centuries, to discuss the uncanny presence of a guest in each subjectivity, of an ‘other’ that manifests itself not only in other individuals, other communities or cultures, but in each self. The journey asks: who am I? What forces and drives, sometimes conflicting, lodge in my breast? How much can I consider myself the author and how much the result of their play and clash? 

Unquiet Genealogies
A theme-based tour dedicated to the 60th International Art Exhibition, Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere, critically re-reading hegemonic narratives, in the arts and beyond, in order to revisit them in the light of unpredictable stimuli from subjectivities sometimes considered marginal by dominant historiography. The activity traces the tortuous and at times contradictory genesis of notions such as avant-garde, modernism, international style, and presents works capable of questioning categories and received views, and of contributing to rewriting the genealogy of contemporary art. Where and how does the contemporary come into being? What are its cultural and social matrices? What are its founding and inalienable values? Can different modernisms or different genealogies of the modern movement co-exist?

Stories between the installations and pavilions
