The Venue
Conceived in 2009 for piazza Verdi by ZimmerFrei, on the occasion of ON. Luci di pubblica piazza, a public art project curated by Martina Angelotti, the sculpture became part of the MAMbo collection which, in collaboration with the Municipality of Bologna, the Cineteca di Bologna and the Association of Friends of the GAM, reinstalled the work in the courtyard of the Cineteca, in the immediate surroundings of the museum. The work, inspired by the great chandeliers of the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, works like a lamp for the square and transforms it into a domestic interior, inviting the passers-by to rethink urban space as a common home, a place where individual stories are shared and become collective heritage.
