In conjunction with Artissima, MAO is opening the second edition of Contemporary Expressions / Declinazioni Contemporanee. This programme of artist residencies and site-specific commissions uses contemporary art as a means for interpreting, re-reading and showcasing the museum’s collection, descending on the present to discover new meanings and connections between different periods and cultures.
The works by Marzia Migliora, Kengo Kuma, Lee Mingwei and Francesco Simeti presented in 2023 will be joined this year by installations by Qiu Zhijie and Charwei Tsai, and Patrick Tuttofuoco’s Ultraworld, a light project made for MAO’s facade that will be part of Costellazione, a fringe section of Luci d’Artista.
Rabbit Inhabits the Moon aims to stimulate dynamic dialogue reflecting the development of the cultural and artistic landscape of the two countries, particularly reinterpreting the legacy of Nam June Paik and his influence on contemporary artists. New works by Korean artists Kyuchul Ahn, Jesse Chun, Shiu Jin, Young-chul Kim, Dae-sup Kwon, Chan-Ho Park, Sunmin Park and eobchae × Sungsil Ryu, along with videos and installations from the collection of Nam June Paik Art Center are paired with famous works by Paik – mostly on loan from Fondazione Bonotto – and fine traditional objects from prestigious institutions, including the Musée Guimet – Musée national des Arts asiatiques, Paris, the Museo d’Arte Orientale ‘E. Chiossone’, Genoa, and the Museo delle Civiltà, Rome.
