As part of public programming with the exhibition Into the Thick of IT! at Mass Gallery
This exhibition is curated by Bella Varela
Join Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo Ovalles Morel for the projection of a trilogy of videos documenting a series of gestures activated in Texas.
The resulting archive is rooted in Ecosexuality, movement, and Earth-based engagements, as well as in an enfleshed quest for connection between body and place.
This event will be formatted as a circle, inviting those who enter the field to contribute to it with words, vocals, motions, and offerings.
Entry fee: bring an item that you can tear, crumple, crush and then recycle, plus an empty glass to drink from. Those wishing to attend must commit to 1.5 hours.

12. Andrea Fraser, FF Alumn, at Fondazione Antonio Dalle Nogare, Bolzano, Italy, opening April 13
Fondazione Antonio Dalle Nogare
«I just don’t like eggs!»
Andrea Fraser on collectors, collecting, collections.
Curated by Andrea Viliani with Vittoria Pavesi
Opening: 13.04.2024 at 11 AM
13.04.2024 – 22.02.2025
Fondazione Antonio Dalle Nogare
Ratensteiner Weg 12, Bolzano, Italia www.fondazioneantoniodallenogare.com
The first retrospective solo exhibition in an Italian institution by artist, writer and thinker Andrea Fraser (USA, 1965) – among the most radical interpreters of Institutional Critique – focuses on the figure of the collector and the activity of collecting, understood as an expression of taste, desire, categorization, exclusivity, exercise and form of power. In her works, Fraser analyzes the interconnections and stratifications between artistic research, institutional, financial and political dimensions, configuring the exhibition as opportunity to re-imagine functions and narratives, structures and relations of and within the art system.
With the support of Marian Goodman Gallery, New York-Paris-Los Angeles and Galerie Nagel Draxler, Berlin-Cologne-Munich.
Main sponsors Autonomous Province South Tyrol and Volksbank.
Thanks to Marx GmbH. Technical sponsors Barth and Baustudio.
