Cubo Garutti: Azione / Aktion.
Cubo Garutti
Exhibition project with laboratory
Creating a connection between generations and ways of perceiving places and situations: this is what happened with “Azione /Aktion”, the exhibition project with laboratory, which involved the inhabitants of the Don Bosco neighborhood and the students of class 3.A of the high school pedagogist G. Pascoli of Bolzano.
In a first phase, stories and anecdotes of how it was and how people lived in the neighborhood were collected: from the barber who arrived by bicycle and cut hair in the courtyard, to the girls who, after the May foil, came from Oltrisarco to visit friends and they put on nylon stockings secretly from their parents. And many more stories. These testimonies, once recorded, were listened to by the students of the class of the G. Pascoli pedagogical high school in Bolzano, who were able to imagine and relive the situations described.
Some episodes were chosen and “reenacted” by the students in the same places where the stories had taken place. In essence it was a widespread practice in the history of performance, that is, a reenactment, now re-enacting something that happened in the past, even if recent. The result was conveyed through Ivo Corrà’s photographs, displayed in the exhibition together with the stories written by the narrators.The project is linked to the Cubo’s 2015 exhibition programme, dedicated to the theme of performance.
