The life of things

from h 19:00 to h 24:00
Saturday 24 from h 22 to h 1
After the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale and the Planetario Hoepli, Video Sound Art, a contemporary art festival since 2011, presents its twelfth edition with a programme of installations, videos, performance interventions and a screening programme at the Teatro Carcano.
The exhibition path unfolds through the spaces of the of the historic theatre which, from the basement to the gallery, showcases the voices of the contemporary, ranging from video to publishing installations.
The theme investigates the life of things. How do objects speak? How do they function outside their context?
Starting with the reflections of the artists in the exhibition and in collaboration with the Dutch publishing project MacGuffin, the festival focuses on the unexplored possibilities that each object embodies in relation to history, identity and social relations, attempting to unveil political and social conditioning – the invisible qualities of matter.
