Exquisite Anatomies
June 9 - July 24, 2022 September 2 - November 27, 2022
The core of the exhibition is the Cadavres exquis, hybrid beings, half animal, half human or assemblies of several animals that frightened - but actually fascinated considerably - the collective imagination by leaving the human model.
The artist gives voice to his subconscious and his imagination by shaping hybrid and fantastic creatures with often bright and contrasting colours, sometimes suspended in the void, others integrated in alienating settings.
The Cadavres exquis are not just art games but representations of freedom and the subconscious, an iconographic stream of consciousness of our vision of the world in dialogue with the Spallanzani Collection.
Participatory monographic exhibition curated by Alessandro Gazzotti.

Membranes

San Pietro Cloisters, via Emilia San Pietro 44/c
⏰ Opening times: Friday-Sunday 3.00 - 8.00 p.m.
Free entrance
Monographic exhibition curated by Marina Dacci.
The Membrane project is divided into several rooms of the San Pietro Cloisters. Painting, drawing, photography, video and sound are an invitation to break the rigid boundaries between man and nature, considering both an essential part of a universal energy in which to be inscribed. Tension and abandonment are salient features of the movement of bodies in the performances as well as the instinctive pictorial gesture of Yuval Avital that characterizes his artistic production: both open and dissolve in a close relationship with the land of archaic and symbolic flavour and strong thaumaturgical impact.
Monstrary
November 18-20, 2022 Part I - Teatro Regio, Parma December 2-4, 2022 Part II - Teatro Due, Parma
December 10-11, 2022 Part III - Reggio Emilia Teatro Valli, piazza Martiri del 7 luglio, and Teatro Ariosto, corso Cairoli 1
A large composite event that will take place, in Parma and Reggio Emilia, in several moments (between November and December) to close the year of the "Bestiary of the Earth". The study of the symbolism of medieval bestiaries has led the artist to create a collection of twenty bestial-scenes. The artist's transposition will take the form of live performances, installations and videos invading the theatrical spaces involved, not only the conventional ones but also those normally not accessible to the public.
