Felipe Gimenez alla Galleria Doppia V

Felipe Gimenez Parola di madre / parola di padre
La Galleria Doppia V questo autunno decide di stupirvi proponendo una performance dell’artista Felipe Gimenez che è stata già proposta in Spagne e Argentina: in breve l'artista coinvolge varie persone nell'elaborazione di un'opera d’arte collettiva di grande formato della quale il pubblico diviene coautore, offrendo una serie di frasi a tema che verranno inserite sulla tela. È un atto collettivo che vuole dare un senso diverso al gesto artistico, che si trasforma così in un contenitore di gesti liberatori e poetici, una costruzione di gruppo che, esorcizzando le frustrazioni, riempirà di ironica ilarità gli autori nei propri confronti.

A partire da lunedì 28 settembre, in diversi punti della città, l’artista comincerà la raccolta delle frasi sul tema Parola di madre / Parola di padre per poi trasferire tutto sulle tele.

La sera di venerdì 2 ottobre, in presenza del pubblico, si inaugurerà l’esposizione dei risultati e nel contempo si continuerà durante tutta la serata nella composizione delle opere.

Sperando che questa iniziativa possa suscitare il vostro interesse, cordialmente salutiamo.

High Tech! High Touch! Conference

“Digital native” is the term that describes the current generation raised in a digital environment controlled by Internet, MP3 players, cell phones, smartphones, social networking websites, etc. Most of us think they are young, fast-thinkers, multitasks, clever and more open to diversity[1]. Nevertheless, there are also people claiming that Internet is making us stupid[2]. The debate is open.

Instead of waiting for an answer, most museums have made the choice to jump on the tech wagon and today, in the cultural sector, technology is playing an increasing role in the way of providing information, organising tours, connecting with visitors, crating communities, facilitating access to museum collections, and so on.

Children’s museums are also facing this paradigm shift. For some, it challenges the traditional role of their insitutions based on physical contact and the senses, for others it opens new perspectives of collaboration and dialogue with their audiences. Will technology supplant children's museums traditional practice based on corporal and sensory experience? Can a museum for children remain effective in promoting learning if it turns away from new technologies? How are children museums coping with these changes? During four days, from 3 to 6 November 2009, children’s museums professional from Europe will gather together in Paris for the Hand On! Europe conference and discuss these issues.

The programme will comprise presentations in plenary sessions, debates and personal accounts with a panel of experts and workshops. One day will be dedicated to emerging technologies and their role in children's museums. The second day will focus on active participation and the sharing of experiences amongst those attending. Visits will also be organised to museums in Paris to enable participants to exchange views on their professions and practices.
