Lakhrissi is an artist, poet and writer who lives and works in Paris: in his works he investigates and challenges the structures of language by reflecting around the notion of identity. "This Doesn’t Belong to Me" explores the concept of self-defense, understood as a practice of resistance that different subordinate social groups have developed for survival, applied to the figure of the salamander. On display the amphibian becomes a symbol of a political, but also sexual counterpower, which in the exercise of autotomy - the self-amputation of non-vital parts of the body practiced by some animals as a diversion against their predators - implements a defensive tactic able to connect urban guerrilla strategies to practices pertaining to the sphere of the erotic. From Saturday 3rd October to Sunday 15th November Re Rebaudengo Palace, Via Secondo Paoletti, 2 - Guarene [email protected] - Tel 011 19831600 WAVES BETWEEN US The fourteenth edition of the Young Curators Residency Program has taken as its starting point the dual interpretation of the word “siren”, intended both as a mythological figure of the sea and as an emergency or alarm sound. Inside Waves Between Us, the figure of the mermaid slips between these meanings, intertwining with the works of the artists on display (Almare, Bea Bonafini, Benni Bosetto, Binta Diaw, Isola Della Femmine, Marco Giordano, Raffaela Naldi Rossano, Nuvola Ravera, Real Madrid, Elisa Strinna) to explore sound as a mode of transmission, salt water as a web of connectivity, and the underworld territories of caves as ecosystems of new possible compositions. The exhibition curated by Alison Karasyk, Camille Regli, Katie Simpson, crosses through Palazzo Re Rebaudengo, channeling past and future narratives different from the dominant ones into its rooms, to rethink contemporary reality and explore new ways of being together.
