ARKAD Project Launches in Palermo as Digital Platform
Running from December 4 to 23, 2020, ARKAD is hosted on MeNO's digital platforms in Palermo, curated by Dimora OZ and Analogique. Initially developed for Manifesta 13 Marseille, the project received recognition as the winner of the 7th edition of the Italian Council from MiBACT. Featuring contributions from Italian artists and curators during the lockdowns, ARKAD is part of ART – Art Rethinks Transformation, led by Roberto Albergoni and directed by Andrea Cusumano. The project delves into philosopher Timothy Morton's concept of hyper-objects and includes ARKAD A.R.T/PALERMO-ESADMM/MARSIGLIA and KIN LINE LEGACY. Additionally, ARKAD Video/Performance/KaOZ will take place at KaOZ in Palermo in December 2020, with plans to travel to Venice and Finland in 2021.
