Project: 

The exhibition addressed the issue of ‘work’, one of the most urgent of contemporary life, which especially affects our country in a dramatic way. The featured artists, each in their own way, have given their own representation, strategy, vision regarding ethics, dramas, perspectives, the functions of ‘action’ and modifying, with their own action, themselves, the world and their relationships. The exhibition was also built with the numerous collateral activities hosted at the opening and related to philosophy, literature, music, theatre and cinema, aiming at offering a wider and multifaceted vi- sion on the topic at issue
