exhibition · 2026-05-05

The exhibition titled 'Moving Tales – Racconti in movimento' showcases the works of 30 global video artists from the La Gaia Collection, curated by Eva Brioschi. This event is hosted at the Basilica of San Francesco in Cuneo, Italy, and will run until August 28, 2016. The collection, gathered by Bruna and Matteo Viglietta since the 1970s, features one piece from each artist, arranged throughout the central nave and side chapels. Notable artists include Marina Abramović, Bas Jan Ader, and William Kentridge, among others. Brioschi highlights the exhibition as a series of image-driven experiences rather than a conventional narrative. Attendees are encouraged to immerse themselves in the visuals and trust their instincts, with audio provided through headphones and sound cones.
