Exhibition extended until end of February 2021
Fondazione Imago Mundi is pleased to introduce When the Globe is Home, the new exhibition with which Gallerie delle Prigioni will recommence its activities.
Curated by Claudio Scorretti and Irina Ungureanu, the exhibition brings together works – many of which are being shown for the first time – by 13 international artists selected from the Imago Mundi Art Theorema collections, to explore the ongoing contemporary mediation between global and local, near and far, the collective and the individual: between “Home” and “the World”. When the Globe is Home, which will run until 29th November, continues the exploration of and dialogue among contemporary visual cultures by the Imago Mundi art project promoted by Luciano Benetton. Conceived and partially staged before the outbreak of the global pandemic (the inauguration date was originally planned for 31st March), the recent shared lockdown experience affords a new evocative power to the central idea of this exhibition that specularly connects the world and home. In the design of the exhibition, each of the individual “cells” that make up Gallerie delle Prigioni – the former Habsburg prison restored by the architect Tobia Scarpa – has been conceived as a “home”, an intimate and familiar space in which the artists can express, distil or expand their vision. The climate emergency, sustainability, social transformations of cities, migrations and new aesthetic sensitivities, new encounters, experiences, and the acceleration of contemporary globality are some of the themes addressed by the 13 artists. A concept that emerges with particular energy and creative passion is the figuration of a “new home”: of loss, discovery, reconstruction.
Art Theorema is a continuation of the research and promotion of the artistic talents in Imago Mundi; it integrates the over 150 collections dedicated to the nations and native communities of five continents. This first collection, Art Theorema#1, presents 231 works by 203 artists from 104 countries.
From Europe to the Caribbean, from African countries to Australia, from Canada to Central Asia, Art Theorema traces the kaleidoscopic and colourful portrait of the local artistic expressions that, all together and faithful to the pluralistic principles of the art of Imago Mundi, contribute to the formation of a global scenario of contemporary art.

Granulation Pt 8
The topic of the fourth edition of FMAV due to be in Tangier Morocco from
16 to 19 Oct
Europe’s other Borders with North Africa
FMAV will dedicate all its main time to activities of exhibitions and workshops and panels to the issues of migration and refugees
Over the last two decades, human catastrophes at sea have indisputably transformed the maritime borders of Europe into a macabre deathscape. Untold tens of thousands of refugees, migrants, and their children have been consigned to horrific, unnatural, premature deaths by shipwreck and drowning, often following protracted ordeals of hunger, thirst, exposure, and abandonment on the high seas. The most comprehensive database documenting migrant and refugee deaths during attempts to traverse the maritime borders of Europe estimates the total number at more than 30,000 for the period since the year 2000.
Although such statistics are imperfect and the records surely involve a significant undercount, that is an average of 4-5 people who died every day during this period. With 4,329 migrant and refugee deaths recorded in the Mediterranean, 2016 became the deadliest year on record: on average, approximately 12 people died every day that year. Although 2017 saw a modest decline in the number of recorded deaths, this figure remained alarmingly high: on average, roughly 9 people died every day. Thus, it is no exaggeration to declare that EU-ropean border enforcement policies and practices have actively converted the Mediterranean into a gruesome mass grave.
Artists from the North of Morocco namely Tangier,Tetouan and Assilah and Europe Spain,Italy and England will work on this theme and celebrate it through meeting and panels for fans of visual arts and performance.

Parts 7 – Granulations
51zero/festival 2019
of contemporary art and moving image
25th October – 17th November
co-curated by David Goldenberg
One of this year’s themes is the idea of rebirth, renewal and starting again. Resident artist David Goldenberg will introduce Granulation, a collective public installation, encouraging contributions to a collaborative artwork and a discussion on art in response to the festival program. Goldenberg aims to use exhibited artworks and festival activities to construct formal ideas of how art takes place today, exploring how these ideas could be unfixed and reconstituted to develop new languages of art, in particular, a new language of art for Medway.
Granulation – Open to All
As part of 51zero festival, UK-based artist David Goldenberg is coordinating a new collective public installation entitled Granulation, situated in Rochester High Street.
“How can we use art works and other activities as molecules to build an overview of how art takes place today, then take those molecules and rebuild the body of art differently? ”
”If it is possible to start again, how do we start a new language for art and what form should it or can it take? To develop a new language of art for Medway, people should have an active role in shaping this language, where we are all starting from the same position”.
The project belongs to the people of Rochester whose input and contribution are key for the installation to be realised. People are invited to contribute ideas, material and objects, take part in discussions and make work during the first week of the festival, collaborating with the artist in creating the installation.
Venue/Dates
Guildhall Museum, 17 Rochester High Street, October 27th – 3rd November.
– Participating in the Installation
Contributing ideas, material and objects should respond to the concept of rebirth and renewal, “starting a new language of art for Medway”. These can take any form e.g. a text, text/image, essay, images, found objects from the public realm, personal items, that tells a story about art in the area. Unless agreed all objects should be small scale and portable.
Please send text/image material via email or Wetransfer along with:
Title of text –
Your name –
Email –
Contact No –
Link to website / online profile / link to other work –
If you wish to contribute hard copies or objects please arrange to bring it along to the installation during October 27th – 3rd November, between 10am-5pm.
Please note that your contributions may become part or be developed into new work or a discussion, so please bring copies only. If you wish your objects to be returned, do please state it clearly and arrange collection.
– Participating in the talk and discussion (Sat 2nd November – NB venue may change)
The aim is to develop a discussion from material that is sent to the festival. The collective material will be used to provide an informed insight into how art works today, framing a context to pose a further question: how does art function in Medway and what language is specific to discussing this art?
Key questions as introduction to talks and discussions include: What resources, material and information do we need to stage an event that facilitates this process? Why do we want to do this? How will we do this? What are the expectations? What form should a new work (art installation) take in building a new language of art?
– Collaboration
You may also be interested in collaborating, taking part in:
– collaborating with building the new installation during the festival
– meeting the artist for an informal exchange leading into to the final talk and discussion
– proposing talks and activities related to the theme
Expression of interest are invited between June – September.
Please email projects@51zero.org with the subject line

Neoliberalism has destroyed what exists leaving a blank, a clearing, a new space.
In a sense we can say we have entered a moment where it is possible to re-imagine art again for the 1st time in 200 years
How do we meet this challenge?
We can pose the question another way “If you were offered the opportunity to shape art and thinking would you take up the challenge?”
Is it possible to coordinate a situation where cultures and peoples meet to exchange ideas to contest existing thinking and positions to reshape centres of cultural power?
This opening is where art and thinking starts again
This is stage one in developing a project, whose extent and breadth will develop and become apparent over time.
What are the issues that require to be looked at, who is interested in engaging and exchanging ideas and what form should this exchange take?
A series of introductions to This Historical Moment through developing a non-visual practice
What is a non-visual practice?
How do we discuss, analyse and break with neoliberalism from within neoliberalism?

How do we assemble a work that is capable of operating today within the existing complexity, what issues and aspects does it need to assimilate?
What is the context against which we exist and produce culture and which art and culture contributes in shaping?
A work assembled from 10 x clusters of screen shots of images extracted from Multiple internet sites. Selected images from the Mining the internet series 2014-18, building a picture of total power. Key figures who contributed to the conceptualisation and shaping of the Post Historical environment we exist in and against which art functions and promotes.
Figures who shaped the British Empire and who went onto assist in the rebranding of the British Empire into the British Commonwealth, the formation of a Global Government, writing of British History. The formation of the EU, Nonlinear Warfare, images of the end of history and political historical events.
The texture of post Global Market collapse 2008, the financialization of art, arts link to the art market, and arts role in Globalisation, and the capacity of art to address this complexity.
