Wherever We Go: Art, identity, culture
in transit. Until the 28th of January 2007 an exhibition facing
breakup and cultural stratification
Opened on the 17th of October, Wherever
we go will remain open at Spazio Oberdan in Milan until 28 January
2007. Curated by Hou Hanru and Gabi Scardi and promoted by the Province
of Milan in collaboration with the Museum of Contemporary Photography,
the exhibition collects more than fifty works – video, sculptures,
installations, designs, photographies, for the majority unknown in
Italy, realised by twenty-three artists. Coming from different places,
from Albania to the South-East Asia, to the Middle East, all these
artists live in Countries, which are different from those where they
were born. They all experienced the encounter with heterogeneous values,
visions of the world and ways of life, thus becoming bearers of a
prismatic culture integrating multiple points of view. The exhibition
talks therefore about identity, this term meaning something that is
not only defined by a geographical provenance, but that is produced
above all from experiences and relations; something that is not fixed
once for all, but that is alive and mobile, resisting to simplifications
and classifications.
The exhibition offers didactic services: guided visits for all and
two workshops (curated by participant artists), intended for fifteen
young artists.
