Mangano and van Rooy Explore Psychiatric Institutions at Nomas Foundation
Domenico Mangano and Marieke van Rooy present a collaborative project at Nomas Foundation in Rome, blending art and social research. Their work investigates the functioning and role of psychiatric institutions in the Netherlands, drawing on the anti-psychiatry movements of the 1970s. Through field research, workshops, and performances, they aim to recreate the imaginative world of patients and examine the complex issues arising from the patient-versus-'healthy' individual dichotomy. The exhibition includes drawings, sculptures, photographs, and an anthology publication titled 'Homestead of Dilution. Arte scientifica o paradosso insolubile?'
