projets | Viabizzuno progettiamo la luce

Viabizzuno lights up the exhibition dedicated to marina abramović ‘between breath and fire’ curated by karol winiarczyk at gres art 671, the art and culture centre founded in bergamo by italmobiliare group with fondazione pesenti. in a path that investigates the artist's key themes – breath, body, relationship with the other and death - between performance, sensorial experience and materic research, 30 recent and iconic works narrate the greatness, loneliness, myth and transience of the human being from the perspective of one of the most influential artists of our time. at the centre of this multifaceted project is the film-installation ‘seven deaths’, which marina abramović dedicates to maria callas: a series of parallels and cross-references between the lives of the two artists culminates in the opera-film that evokes seven tragic and premature deaths of heroines played by the soprano. the exhibition also involves for the first time the garden of gres art 671 with the soundscape ‘tree’, in which the diffusion among the trees of a birdsong blurs the boundaries between natural and artificial, reality and fiction, mortality and transcendence. in this exhibition tracing the entire artistic career of marina abramović, light plays a fundamental role not only in understanding the works, but above all in creating an immersive atmosphere aimed at establishing a contact with the observer. in the large exhibition space of gres art 671 Viabizzuno ariacablata system has been installed, which with its 500 metres of A1, A10 and A11 tracks can provide great lighting flexibility: the n55 spotlights, thanks to their ease of installation and positioning, provide accent lighting for each artwork, leaving the rest of the space in suggestive semi-darkness. the linear light, switched on only when needed, gives aesthetic uniformity to the exhibition layout.
