Testimone Oculare: International Artists Explore Power, Identity, and Materiality in Bergamo

The exhibition titled 'Testimone Oculare' (Eyewitness) is currently being held at Palazzo della Ragione in Bergamo, under the curation of Stefano Raimondi and organized by The Blank Contemporary Art. Running until January 12, 2025, it features works from the Agiverona collection owned by Giorgio and Anna Fasol. Artists showcased include Isabelle Cornaro, Ibrahim Mahama, Berlinde De Bruyckere, Georgina Starr, Jacopo Mazzonelli, Julian Charrière, and Nari Ward. Their creations utilize materials such as duck eggs and jute sacks to delve into themes of identity, power, and environmental concerns. Highlights of the exhibition include Cornaro's landscape, Mahama's installation on migration, and Starr's 'Eggs Curtain' made from 800 duck eggs. Raimondi's accompanying text emphasizes the importance of materiality in contemporary art.
