The exhibition hosted by the Castle Museums of Udine is promoted and organised by the Società Alpina Friulana (Friulian Alpine Society) on the occasion of the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of its foundation. The exhibition recounts the ‘mont furlane’ (Friulian mountain), proposing a reflection on a place that over time has given rise to an original civilisation rich in unique cultural, social, economic and environmental aspects.

History, exploration, mountaineering and ethnography, climatic changes and future perspectives will animate the exhibition, which unfolds on two floors of the Castle, winding through the spaces of the Archaeological Mezzanine (East wing, first floor) proposing glances and possible readings of the mountains of today and yesterday and then moving on to rooms 7-8 of the Friulian Museum of Photography to illustrate to visitors the historical and iconographic heritage of the Friulian Alps, partly deposited at the Civic Museums of Udine, partly the result of loans from institutions and private individuals and never exhibited in its entirety until now.

The exhibition has been realised in collaboration with the University of Udine through ‘Cantiere Friuli’, the Geoparco Alpi Carniche, the Circolo Speleologico ed Idrologico Friulano, the Museo Etnografico di Malborghetto and the Museo Carnico Michele Gortani di Tolmezzo.

The exhibition is supported by Fondazione Friuli, the Club Alpino Italiano (CAI), with the contribution of the Consorzio Tutela del Formaggio Montasio and the patronage of the Municipality of Udine, the Friuli Venezia Giulia Regional Council, the Unesco Dolomites Foundation, the Giovanni Angelini Foundation - Centre for Mountain Studies, CAI Friuli Venezia Giulia and the International Association Rete Montagna.

Casa Cavazzini - Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art

via Cavour 14, Udine

14 December 2024 – 16 March 2025

Tuesdays - Sundays 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Exhibition curated by Lorenzo Lazzari

Casa Cavazzini, the museum of modern and contemporary art in Udine, is hosting the eighth edition of the exhibition Mind The Gap, which is titled Come costruisci le immagini dell'altro? (How to construct images of the other?)

Mind the Gap is a project dedicated to contemporary visual arts, with a focus on moving images. Inspired by the figure of Franco Basaglia, it pursues an idea of culture as a means of activating and involving people, places and communities in relation to contemporary issues through an interdisciplinary approach.

The works on display are placed in relation to each other to highlight some of the ways in which Western culture has constructed the image of otherness in recent history and beyond to legitimise colonial domination, including through art history, mental health, technological advancement, cinema and new media.

The title of the exhibition is based on a conceptual operation by Alfredo Jaar. In 2013, the Chilean artist gave new meaning to the quote by US photographer Ansel Adam “You do not take a photograph. You make it” by printing it in large-format multiples for the public to take away. This action completed Jaar's work by emphasising the difference between taking and making. Indeed, each image is not a simple slice of the world, but a particular conception of it, and everything we often take for granted is instead constructed.

Based on this consideration, five film and video works by Invernomuto (Italy), Gelare Khoshgozaran (Iran), Little Warsaw (Hungary), Stefan Kruse (Denmark) and Eleonora Roaro (Italy) will be exhibited at Casa Cavazzini together with a screening by Caterina Erica Shanta (Italy) at Cinema Visionario. The aim is to raise questions about the way in which we construct the images with which we overwrite desires, instances, cultures and bodies.

The eighth edition of Mind The Gap is characterised by significant growth and the institutionalisation of the project, which is widespread throughout the region and the urban peripheries, and is complemented by a dense programme of participatory art workshops for schools, training courses and popular and interdisciplinary encounters involving not only the artists in the exhibition, but also a series of speakers from universities and cultural institutions, in order to combine the artistic perspective with historical, sociological, scientific and philosophical knowledge.

Mind The Gap is a project by Altreforme in collaboration with the Musei Civici di Udine, realised with the support of Regione Autonoma Friuli Venezia Giulia, Fondazione Friuli, Fondazione Pietro Pittini, Boato International, Legacoop.

DARS - Donna Arte Ricerca Sperimentazione continues in its tireless efforts to consolidate the famous expression, coined in the first edition 2012, of "Udine: Capital of the Artist’s Book", with the seventh edition of the biennial international review Come un racconto (As a Story) set up in the Galleries of Palazzo Morpurgo and in Sala Valle. The event – born from an idea of Marina Giovannelli and Gina Morandini to remember her friend and DARS president Isabella Deganis – is focused on the expressive form of the Artist’s Book and is the only one in Italy to address exclusively young people (aged between 14 and 35) offering an important space for exchange and cultural comparison.

The project has been realized thanks to the fundamental support of Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia, Comune di Udine, Camera di Commercio Pordenone-Udine and thanks to the usual collaboration of the Civici Musei di Udine and the municipal library "Vincenzo Joppi".

The exhibition displays 133 works by 203 artists from 17 national and international schools, including: the Academies of Fine Arts in Bari, Bologna, Florence, Foggia, Lecce, Palermo, Ravenna and Rome; the historic Faculty of Fine Arts of the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain) in Erasmus+ project with the Academy of Fine Arts of Venice; the Artistic Lyceums "T. Catullo" of Belluno, "G. Sello" of Udine, "F. Figari" of Sassari; the scientific Lyceum "XXV Aprile" of Portogruaro, and the School of Applied Arts in Rijeka (Croatia); the Erasmus+ Bee Green project, of which DARS is a partner, with Ljudska Univerza in Ormož (coordinator - Slovenia) and Stredna Odborna Skola in Banska Bystrica (partner - Slovakia).There are also 4 individual participations chosen by DARS and that see the return of Paolo Brasa, absolute winner at the first review of 2012, of the two Friulani, former students of the Liceo "G. Sello" of Udine and currently enrolled in the Academy of Bologna, Elia Sponton and Aurora Maiurano, respectively Special Mention Ex Æequo and Marked by the Jury in the last exhibition 2022, and the artist Andrea Guerra of Montelabbate in partnership with the Workshop of Art and Textiles of Spoleto (PG). Also on display are the works of some teachers to set off the link and the creative dialogue Allieve/i&Maestre.

Thanks to the partnership with Coop. Soc. ITACA, was also involved the group of guests of the Community accommodation "Casa e piazza" in Virco (UD) who follow for years a painting workshop, curated by artist Paola Bellaminuti, and will present their works in Udine. With the aim of shedding light on some of the most influential Friulian creative talents, DARS will organise an exhibition the Artist’s Book of Kalā Teatro (Fagagna). As the final stage of a project on the extraordinary artist Camille Claudel – conceived and developed by Luana Pignato and Manuel Marrese – and, for the first time, this exhibition will display an exclusive gadget designed by the young artist Paola Pasquaretta, owner of Fyonda Design.
