Gabriele Boccacini
SLITTAMENTO PROGRESSIVO DEL LINGUAGGIO

Description

The volume documents the contemporary art exhibition “Slittamento progressivo del linguaggio” (Progressive shifting of language) by Gabriele Boccacini, which is an integral part of the Stalker Teatro project “Metropolitan Art”, a bridge between the performing arts and contemporary art, an exciting journey between works of art and live entertainment, where citizens are the protagonists of a collective adventure. It is an innovative project of education, training, research and artistic production with laboratory and performance activities, visits to museums and the setting up of performance/exhibition spaces. Contemporary art, on a national and international level, is one of the cultural aspects that most characterizes our territory: from the important artistic movements of the 60s, to the first experiences of social theatre, with theatrical animation in the 70s, passing for the experimentation of different disciplines in the following decades. In this artistic and social context, the “Metropolitan Art” project was born in the Turin hinterland; a unique initiative of its kind, divided into different activities: guided visits to contemporary, modern and ancient art museums; workshops to raise awareness of the performing arts; production of multidisciplinary events together with local citizens; training experiences on different artistic disciplines; production of exhibitions and installations/performances; advocacy and networking activities with prestigious cultural centers and events in Italy and abroad.
