Fondazione Live #HABITAT 8.3.22-22.3.22

FONDAZIONE LIVE HABITAT

A project by Fondazione Antonio Dalle Nogare,

in collaboration with franzLAB

This year’s season of our public program Fondazione Live, starts with HABITAT, a multi-part project focusing on ways of inhabiting museum spaces, organized in collaboration with franzLAB.

By mixing online conversations, typically “domestic” activities in situ at the foundation, and in-depth articles published on franzmagazine.com, we will examine the idea of the museum as a domestic realm, investigating topics and reflections of individual perspectives and their meaning for our contemporary society. As part of HABITAT, the Foundation will activate both its digital channels and museum spaces, collaborating with a variety of players in the field to do so.

Three dialogues online – to be followed live for free through Facebook or Youtube – introduced by the art and design historian and curator Emanuele Quinz, will address the subject of the museum as a natural habitat for human beings, inviting guests to reflect on the possible life of museum spaces and their meaning for contemporary society. These conversations can also be watched at the Foundation, followed by individual activities, typically carried out in the privacy of the home. In this way the spaces of the Foundation are transformed into a home open to everyone.

Program:

March 8 – 7pm: Emanuele Quinz in conversation with Emanuele Coccia, philosopher, professor at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales in Paris. Author of the books “La vita delle piante”, “Filosofia della casa”. Following this, there will be a yoga class with Stefanie Dariz who, in line with the topic addressed, will guide participants to feel at home and at ease in their bodies.

March 22 – 7pm: Emanuele Quinz in conversation with Formafantasma (Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin), a design studio that investigates the ecological, historical, political and social forces shaping the discipline of design today. Starting at 18.00 guests will be served a snack with typical products to be tasted at the Foundation. The online talk will follow. The capacity of seats for both activities, the streaming of the conversation and the “merenda” are limited. Please book your spot in advance by writing to visit@fondazioneantoniodallenogare.com or calling 0471 971626.

To follow the conversation between Formafantasma and Quinz comfortably from home there will be a live broadcast on Facebook or also on Youtube.

The three dialogues between Quinz and his guests will be accessible to the public within a HABITAT set up ad hoc, which will take shape in one of the rooms of the Foundation. In this space, the themes dealt with in the three conferences will be explored through books, objects, works and images and, above all, they will be “inhabited” by the visitors.

In parallel to the series of online conversations and the activation of the physical space in the Foundation, on the pages of franzmagazine.com the topic of HABITAT will be further explored through a series of contents and interventions by other guests and experts.
