The\u00a0Galleria Nazionale d\u2019Arte Moderna e Contemporanea\u00a0presents the exhibition\u00a0Body To Body<\/em><\/strong>, curated by\u00a0Paola Ugolini<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The exhibition analyses the exact moment when the artist\u2019s work is characterized by\u00a0the appropriation of new languages<\/strong>\u00a0that range from dance to the event, from the happening to theatre, from painting to music, from theory to sculpture, and from cinema to video. Within these complex cultural events, the exhibition aims to cut out only the space in which the artist, having left behind the traditional art forms, uses his\/her\u00a0body as a means of expression<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is a crucial moment that covers the two decades of the 1960s and \u201870s, years of consciousness-raising and self-determination, characterized by experimental research that varyingly expressed the feminist themes of such artists as Marina Abramovi\u0107, Tomaso Binga, Sanja Ivekovi\u0107, Ketty la Rocca, Gina Pane, Suzanne Santoro, and Francesca Woodman, and of dance pioneers like Trisha Brown, Simone Forti, and Yvonne Rainer.<\/p>\n

In recent years,\u00a0the language of the body has been exploited by Italian artists of our newest generation<\/strong>, such as the couple formed by Eleonora Chiari and Sara Goldschmied, Chiara Fumai, Silvia Giambrone, Valentina Miorandi, and Alice Schivardi \u2013 and by the Paris-based artistic group Claire Fontaine. All of these artists have\u00a0re-actualized the legacy of those who came before them<\/strong>, creating a series of works that combine the rationale of aesthetics with that of politics. Their work brings to life the characteristics that the American critic Lucy Lippard acknowledged as being feminism\u2019s contribution to the 1970s art scene: art that is\u201caesthetically and socially effective at the same time\u201d\u00a0<\/em>and characterized\u00a0\u201cby an element of dissemination and by a need to be connected beyond the process and the product\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

Still today, photography, the gesture, and performance art are ideal instruments, used in the early 1960s by women artists, to continue to undo language and traditional means of expression and to emphasize their inadequacy. Indeed, verbal language has often proven to be inadequate for defining complex states of mind. For this reason, its visual destructuring, by way of the collage and the video, continues to be of crucial importance for expressing sentiments and points of view to be analyzed using other means of expression.<\/p>\n
