Boltanski in Bologna

The city of Bologna, Italy, pays a tribute to Christian Boltanski through a series of initiatives: exhibitions, installations and site-specific works on view through November.  

The city of Bologna dedicates a special project to French artist Christian Boltanski, protagonist of a rich programme of cultural events called “Anime. Di luogo in luogo”, promoted by the Municipality of Bologna together with Emilia Romagna Teatro Fondazione, in conjunction with the Emilia-Romagna region and the Association of the relatives of the victims of the Ustica disaster.

  The project, curated by Danilo Eccher includes several events and involves many urban venues, all featuring the multi-faceted work of Boltanski. The programme includes a large anthological exhibition of the same name at the MAMbo – Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna, the installation Réserve at the former powder keg bunker inside the Lunetta Gamberini Garden; the performative installation Ultima at the Arena del Sole theatre, and the special project Take Me (I’m Yours) inside the area of the former Giuriolo parking lot. Furthermore, to highlight the decisive role of the suburbs in this event, from mid-June the diffuse iniziative of public art Billboards connects the center and the suburban areas, in order to polycentrism and integration between different souls of the city.
