Trento Festival dell'Economia Bridges Art and Global Economy
The 14th Festival dell'Economia took place in Trento, Italy, examining the interplay between contemporary art and economics, with an emphasis on globalization, nationalism, and representation. Featured were pieces from the MART museum's collection by artists such as Andreas Gursky, Fischli & Weiss, Shirin Neshat, and Wolfgang Tillmans, alongside contemporary creators like Adrian Paci, Alessandro Calabrese, and others. Their photography, video, and installations capture the essence of modern life. Notably, Adrian Paci's 2013 video "The Column" shows a factory-ship processing a marble block, while Filippo Berta's 2014 work "Sulla retta via" reflects on migration. Giovanni Morbin's "Tergicristallo" employs machinery to create an empty space, inviting contemplation amidst the curated chaos.
