Castello di Rivoli

Piazza Mafalda di Savoia

Italy



The event – Manifest Intention. Drawing In All Its Forms– focuses on drawing in its various forms and many modes of expression: from everyday and self-controlled practice to elements of analysis and creative outlets, from a means of communication to the need to express.

The important Castello di Rivoli event is structured according to different concepts and itineraries: drawing as project practice; drawing as action practice – from performance to video; chiaroscuro, or rather, representation; outlines as paradox, or of infinity; diaries, the story of being an artist; drawing as a political practice; memory through quotation; the procedure paradox; world writing.
Among these, just to name a few, there are key players of art history, like Pablo Picasso, Joan Mirò, Paul Klee, George Grosz, Giacomo Balla, Giorgio Morandi, Osvaldo Licini, and Renato Guttuso alongside contemporary exponents of great prestige such as William Kentridge, Matt Mullican, Francis Alÿs, Hanne Darboven, Matthew Barney (on display with his Drawing Restraint), and Robin Rhode who, for this event, will embark upon a new drawing performance. For Manifest Intention we also present a dialogue between written works and “drawn” ones, diaries or notebooks from Nan Goldin to Mario Merz, traces of Giovanni Anselmo and Giulio Paolini, quotations as memories by Elisabetta Benassi, graffiti by Keith Haring and Mircea Cantor; experimental works beyond drawing from Luciano Fabro to Lara Favaretto, protests by Shirin Neshat through Farsi writing, life stories narrated across wall constellations from Nedko Solakov to Peter Friedl, or projects for works (executed or not) by Chen Zhen as well as the famous explosions of Cai Guo-Qiang.
