Mattatoio di Roma Reopens with Dispositivi Sensibili Program

Three months after Angel Moya Garcia was appointed head of cultural programming at Padiglione 9b of Mattatoio di Roma, the space reopens in July with Dispositivi Sensibili, a series aimed at subverting traditional exhibition formats through performance. The program, part of Azienda Speciale Palaexpo's 2020-2022 plan, launches with a solo show by Andrea Galvani (b. 1973, Verona) featuring photography, sculpture, drawing, performance, video, and audio installations. Galvani's work documents collective actions and physical phenomena, emphasizing instability and ephemerality. Dispositivi Sensibili complements ongoing initiatives at La Pelanda, including the Master in Performing Arts and Community Spaces with Roma Tre University's Architecture Department, paused due to COVID-19. Online projects TRÀCCIA (curated by Ilaria Mancia and Lorenza Accardo) and Mattatoio Multiforme continue the dialogue. Participants in TRÀCCIA include curators Silvia Fanti and Barbara Nardacchione, artists Lisa Holzer and Roberto Fassone, dance maker Cristina Kristal Rizzo, poet Edoardo Olmi, writer Matteo Nucci, actress Valentina Carnelutti, company Muta Imago, gallerist Mario Pieroni, choreographer Silvia Rampelli, director Roberto Bazzocchi, curators Elena Forin and Chiara Casarin, musician Simone Pappalardo, video artist Simone Insana, composer Marco Momi, writer Chiara Valerio, and curator Luigi Gallo.
