黑料不打烊

From March 11, 2022 to January 8, 2023, the rooms of the GAMeC will host the third project in the cycle La Collezione Impermanente (The Impermanent Collection): the research, exhibitive and curatorial platform that has valorized the multifaceted nature of the museum鈥檚 collection of works since 2018, reflecting on its dynamic and sometimes contradictory character, and endeavoring to use it as tool for triggering memories and engaging the public through the use of innovative exhibition formats.

While the first chapter recounted the constitution and evolution of the Collection, presenting a selection of the main nuclei, and the second placed the museum鈥檚 works in dialogue with a group of prestigious works confiscated in Lombardy and managed by the National Agency for the Administration of Confiscated Assets, La Collezione Impermanente #3.0鈥攃urated by Sara Fumagalli, Valentina Gervasoni, and A. Fabrizia Previtali鈥攎arks the celebrations dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the GAMeC (which opened in 1991) by providing the public with a rich selection of works from the museum鈥檚 heritage, created by artists from various generations, from the 1990s up to the present day.

The exhibition constitutes a fluid display which, on the one hand, aims to explore themes that have characterized art history over the last thirty years, starting with works from the Collection organized in a series of thematic displays, with the intention of creating new connections and revealing unexpected contrasts and resonances; while on the other hand, it intends to emphasize impermanence, understood as an opening to new possibilities and future perspectives.

The exhibition also works on temporariness, underlining the non-definitive character of its narratives thanks to cyclical rearrangements of the display throughout the exhibition period, alongside new presentations and interventions by young artists called upon to dialogue with the works to be found in the museum.

In an attempt to rethink the Collection鈥檚 organizational policies and in consideration of the project for the new GAMeC that will see the conversion of Bergamo鈥檚 Palazzetto dello Sport into new exhibition spaces, La Collezione Impermanente #3.0 starts out from a number of questions that place the role of the visitor and his or her relationship with the museum at the center of the reflection: what kind of dialogue does the museum intend to establish with the public around the collections, understood as a common good and heritage? What experience should be offered and for what purposes? What role should be given to visitors in the presentation and construction of the museum collection?
