Art Exhibitions Around Sanremo During the Festival
During the Sanremo Music Festival, visitors can explore art exhibitions in Genoa and Nice. In Genoa, Palazzo Ducale hosts a major Andy Warhol show with 170 works curated by Luca Beatrice, divided into six sections including drawing, icons, and cinema. A digital Warhol exhibition at Villa Croce focuses on his 1985 Amiga experiments, unknown until 2011. Also at Palazzo Ducale, Pinksummer gallery presents Guy Ben-Ner's solo show 'Escape Artists' until March 3, featuring a film about asylum seekers in Israel's Holot detention center. The Museo Luzzati celebrates 30 years of Dylan Dog comics through original boards and covers by artists like Giampiero Casertano and Angelo Stano until April 18. In Nice, MAMAC hosts retrospectives of Gustav Metzger (until May 14) and Vivien Roubaud (until May 28). Metzger's show focuses on environmental issues, potentially his last with direct involvement. Roubaud's immersive installation is at Galerie des Pochettes, reactivated last year with Yona Friedman's Prototipo. The Musée de la Photographie presents Helmut Newton's 'Icones' from February 11 to May 28. Villa Arson opens two group shows on February 9: 'La Doublure' inspired by Raymond Roussel's novel, and 'Go Canny! Politique du sabotage' about sabotage.
