Luigi Fassi Takes Helm at MAN Nuoro, Unveils Mediterranean-Focused Program
Luigi Fassi has been selected as the director of the Museo d'Arte della Provincia di Nuoro (MAN) in Sardinia following a public competition. To familiarize himself with the local cultural landscape, he covered 10,000 kilometers across Sardinia in his first months, introducing multilingual texts for exhibitions and a system for visitor feedback. His first program, launching on November 9, features Dor Guez's 'Sabir' and Christian Palestinian Archive, François-Xavier Gbré's 'Sogno d'oltremare,' along with the group exhibition 'O Youth and Beauty!' showcasing works by Louis Fratino, Anna Bjerger, and Waldemar Zimbelmann. Fassi's vision is to establish MAN as a civic hub catering to various audiences while utilizing Sardinia's archives for artist residencies and research initiatives.
