Liam Gillick's Film Retrospective at Museo Madre

Museo Madre in Naples presents its first retrospective of Liam Gillick's film work, spanning 2008 to 2019. Curated by Andrea Viliani and Alberto Salvadori, the exhibition titled "In piedi in cima a un edificio: Film 2008-2019" features an installation that emphasizes the observer's role and the performative nature of sound and image. The films, mostly shot in and from Gillick's New York studio, include works like "Margin Time 1, 2, 3" and "Everything Good Goes." The exhibition explores themes of science fiction, the questioning of public-political dimensions, the deactivation of critical thought through demolition metaphors, and the centrality of communication in modern life, highlighting the drift of language stripped of its content.
