MORANDI MUSEUM + FIENILI DEL CAMPIARO, Strada Provinciale 24 115, Grizzana Morandi (BO)

One of the 5 Special Projects of Art City 2024, 'Saturnine Orbit' is a sound and live installation by Mark Vernon, curated by Xing. Mark Vernon revisits the living and working spaces of an isolated and meditative Morandi, reflecting the fragments of everyday life through phantasmal soundscapes.

KAPPA NOUN, 29 January - 6 April, Via Imelde Lambertini 5, San Lazzaro Di Savena

American artist David Adamo (b. 1979) will be presenting new cycles of works produced in a site-specific manner for this solo exhibition. During a residency period in Bologna, he created new wood sculptures using local woods for the first time. These are included in the exhibition 'David Adamo - A bedtime story', which takes up the concept of the traditional Italian museum, with softly coloured walls and contemporary reproductions of medieval bronze armour.

IMOLA MUSEI (MUSEO SAN DOMENICO,ROCCA SFORZESCA, PALAZZO TOZZONI), until 18 February

The exhibition "Bertozzi&Casoni. Tranche de vie" curated by Diego Galizzi, is divided into three sections: "Tranche de vie" at Palazzo Tozzoni, "In nuce. 1980-1997' at the Museo San Domenico and 'La morte dell'eros' at the Rocca Sforzesca. Bertozzi&Casoni have revolutionised the role of contemporary ceramics without ever neglecting their proudly 'artisanal' approach, while overcoming so many preconceptions and limitations of artistic ceramics.

PIEVE DI CENTO MUNICIPAL ART GALLERY “GRAZIANO CAMPANINI", until 26 May

Pierpaolo Campanini's exhibition project "Miraggio", curated by Valeria Tassinari, extends over two rooms of the museum: a sequence of five large works in the former creates a succession of thresholds, arranged in space through portals painted on canvases that create a disorienting effect. The latter features a selection of paper works that testify to the artist's research process, starting with the construction of the subject itself. The artist's exploration begins with the creation of sculptures, assembled with pins, nails, needle and thread, common and familiar materials. These three-dimensional forms acquire a different consistency in the space of the canvas, through the mediation of painting, which accurately reproduces the original object on a different scale.
