It Takes Two – Video Works from the Dalle Nogare Collection: Frank Hesse – 05.12.2025

On Friday, December 5, the Antonio Dalle Nogare Foundation presents the second edition of It Takes Two, a series of video works from the private collection of Antonio Dalle Nogare, curated by Eva Brioschi.

Opening: December 5 at 7:00 PM

The title is an ironic reminder that the realization of an artwork requires not only the work of the artist but also that of the viewer. It is the viewer who completes the creative journey initiated by the artist through their own perception. In the darkness of a video room, the relationship between artist and viewer becomes even closer: like in a confessional of the mind, one surrenders to the images, loses the sense of space and time, and embraces the possibility of a multisensory transmission and an unexpected epiphany.

At each opening evening, the Foundation’s Artistic Director, Eva Brioschi, offers a moment of in-depth analysis and participatory reading of the exhibited work, in dialogue with the artist and with professionals from the art world.

The second event of It Takes Two is dedicated to Frank Hesse, an artist, designer, and yoga teacher based in Zurich, who presents a video filmed in 2006: Florence: From St. Croce to the Institute of Art History.

Following the screening, Frank Hesse will engage in a dialogue with Eva Brioschi and Nasim Weiler, project manager at Stadtkuratorin Hamburg, whose research focuses on conceptual art and performative practices, to explore the themes and processes at the foundation of this video work.

Sven Sachsalber

Capturing an Artistic Practice: A Research Project by Museion

Press Preview and Opening:
Friday, 5 December, 11:00 AM

Museion – Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Bolzano

Museion presents an exhibition on Sven Sachsalber (1987–2020), the result of a multi-year research project carried out in collaboration with BAU – Institute for Contemporary Art and Ecology and the artist’s family, funded by the German Cultural Office of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano – South Tyrol.

The exhibition explores Sachsalber’s career and works, known for videos, books, paintings, and poetic, subtly ironic performances. Archive materials, documents, interviews, and digitized works are organized into six thematic sections: art, body, time, books, home, friendship, offering new perspectives on his artistic thinking and practice.

One original work will be on display: Max and Moritz (2019), a series of drawings created in collaboration with Raymond Pettibon.
An interactive timeline and digital catalog allow visitors to explore over 350 digitized works and materials online.

Within the exhibition, Othmar Prenner, artist and mentor to Sachsalber, created a limited graphic edition, available at the Museion bookshop.

The exhibition and its accompanying publication offer moments of reflection and exploration, keeping Sven Sachsalber’s legacy alive while fostering new perspectives and international connections.

Silent cinema like you’ve never seen or heard before!
A one-of-a-kind festival, a true gem.

Thanks to collaboration with Moonflix and Back To Life, we continue the journey started in 1999, rediscovering forgotten masterpieces of early cinema. Films restored with the help of artificial intelligence are enriched with new soundtracks by international composers, bringing modernity and new life to early cinema.

The photography of Chiara Bettazzi exists in a realm of proximity to the languages of sculpture and installation, sharing with them a vocabulary of everyday objects that shape her subjects. Initially conceived as a tool for observing and controlling the installation process, it later gained its own autonomy, engaging primarily with the register of still life. Her works are object-based compositions, first constructed on a horizontal plane – as vanitas or surrealist-inspired assemblages – and later overflowing beyond the table, finding other supports in found materials from the studio – ladders, screens, temporary structures – that trace precarious trajectories around which the cluster of objects takes on new sculptural forms. The photographic act captures ephemeral encounters between objects in a state of transience, destined to return to the anonymity of everyday life. It is a performative dimension of photography, especially when the artist reveals the gestures of arranging the objects, their accidental falls and displacements – standing on the threshold between composition and decomposition, scene and backstage, where the image continually reactivates the process, restoring to the object the possibility of a new, ever-changing form. Retroscena brings together a series of recent photographs featuring the recurring element of the ladder – an emblem of the scene’s construction – alongside a new installation that gives the exhibition its title. This site-specific work was created using backstage materials from Foto Forum’s storage, remnants of previous exhibitions. The installation unfolds longitudinally, cutting the space in half with an architectural surface made of openings and layers, becoming material traces of a sedimented time. Within this context, the artist invites the audience to move through the space and become part of the scene – observers and actors in a mirroring, dual environment, where front and back tend to coincide. In the folds of fabric and the fragments of objects, memory resurfaces as a visual archive, open to ongoing processes of excavation and refiguration. Chiara Bettazzi was born in Prato in 1977, where she lives and works. Her research explores a dual on the other, a poetics of the everyday object, oscillating between accumulation and discard. In 2015 she created an observatory on the recovery of industrial archaeology in the territory that takes the name Tuscan Art Industry, in collaboration with architectural historians, environmental biologists, artists, curators, and other professionals. Her photographs and installations reflect on transformation, developing in close relation to the industrial and urban landscape. Often site-specific, her works establish a strong dialogue with space and natural light. Her works are held in public and private collections including: La Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea (Rome), Casa Masaccio Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea, Collezione Farnesina, Museo di Santa Maria della Scala, Castello di Ama, and Villa Rospigliosi. Selected exhibitions include: BIENALSUR, Museo di Roma a Palazzo Braschi (2025); Panneggi, Lottozero, Prato (2025); Colorescenze, Centro Pecci, Prato (2024); Recap, Z2o Project, Rome (2024); The Tilt of Time, IED, Florence (2023); Reverse, Tenuta Dello Scompiglio, Lucca (2023); Standby. Installation View, Museo Galileo & Murate Art District, Florence (2023); Soggiorno, Villa Rospigliosi, Prato (2023); Rampa di Lancio, Peccioli (2021); Surplace, Galleria Nazionale, Rome (2022); A tutti gli effetti, Villa Romana, Florence (2020); Cabinet, Castello di Ama, Siena (2019); Il Mondoinfine: vivere tra le rovine, Galleria Nazionale, Rome (2018).
