exhibition · 2026-04-27

Valerio Rocco Orlando's neon artwork, 'Chi diventare?' ('Who to become?'), is currently displayed in the courtyard of the GAMeC museum in Bergamo, Italy. This installation is a component of the 'Vite Operose' (Industrious Lives) participatory project, which is curated by Caroline Corbetta and commissioned by Guido Berlucchi. Initiated at Castello Berlucchi, the project will wrap up on September 26 at the Museo di Santa Giulia in Brescia. The temporary installation is part of the city's Capital of Culture year. Orlando's endeavor included workshops with Politecnico delle Arti students, focusing on work and interculturality, and will transform selected phrases from these discussions into light sculptures that celebrate public heritage, fostering cultural regeneration in Franciacorta.
