Friday 21st Jul 2023 — 19:00 - 23:30

Friday 21 July, from 7 to 11:30pm, Fabrica opens to the public for Monument to Dust, a live exhibition that presents 19 projects created by the centre’s international team of young creatives at the end of their artistic residency. The program of the 2023 Spring-Summer semester, dedicated to the Archaism theme, is curated by the Spanish director and visual artist Carlos Casas, Program Director of Fabrica.

 

Special guest of the evening Barbara Casavecchia, critic and independent curator.

 

Tangled in the fabrics of the past, buried within the layers of the earth, the Archaic is often conceived as distant in time. However, we cannot evade the silent but omnipresent feeling that it echoes into the present.

Reimagining the transient and the perpetual, Monument to Dust questions the foundations of our knowledge, fostering introspection and intuition. Through performances, installations, videos, sculpture, photography and writing, the nineteen artists in the exhibition explore how the Archaic embraces our current and future past.

 

The Archaic is experienced anew. We occur now.
