Curating art, narrating reality.
A place where creativity and research meet.
Here are our projects:
On the occasion of Festivalfilosofia 2024, on Saturday, September 14th at 6:00 PM, a meeting will be held in the courtyard of Palazzo Solmi, in Modena, titled I don’t care (about football). Heart and brain, a game to become something different from what you are.
Mario Colucci, Giulia Iacolutti, and Tiziano Possamai will discuss the topic of mental health, which is still burdened by prejudices. Quoting Franco Basaglia, whose 100th birth anniversary is celebrated this year, “to truly address illness, we should be able to encounter it outside institutions, meaning not only outside psychiatric institutions but outside any other institution whose function is to label, codify, and fix individuals into frozen roles.”
This conversation, part of the theoretical research program of Generazione Critica, accompanies the site-specific installation of the same name by Giulia Iacolutti, in collaboration with Nicola Di Croce, at Arena – Spazio Culturale, Viale Tassoni 8, Modena.
Mario Colucci is a psychiatrist working at the Department of Mental Health in Trieste. He is a lecturer at the School of Specialization in Neuropsychology at the University of Trieste and at the Institute for the Clinical of Social Legals in Venice. A Lacanian psychoanalyst, he is also an editor of the journal aut-aut.
Giulia Iacolutti is a visual artist with a degree in Art Economics. She graduated in Photography from the Teatro alla Scala Academy and in Visual Storytelling from the Mayer Foundation. Her work explores human relationships through participatory art projects and includes photography, performance, and moving images. She has exhibited in group and solo shows, including Kunst Meran, PAC, and La Triennale. In 2023, she published *I don’t care (about football)*, which was a finalist for the Author Book Award Arles.
Tiziano Possamai teaches Cultural Anthropology at the Venice Academy of Fine Arts and Art Psychology at the Brera Academy in Milan. He has focused particularly on the relationship between systemic thinking and psychoanalysis, as well as on new forms of contemporary philosophical and psychological reflection. His publications include Inconscio e ripetizione. La fabbrica della soggettività (Milan, 2017) and La pazienza della libertà (Milan, 2023).
