In 1991, the year the Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea opened, the administration of the City of Bergamo chose to express the city’s great involvement and interest in modern and contemporary art by inaugurating the GAMeC with the presentation of the show ‘Collezione privata, Bergamo. Arte italiana del XX secolo’, dedicated to the most important collections in the city, with works dating up to the end of the Seventies.
Twenty years later, the purpose of the exhibition ‘THE PRIVATE MUSEUM. The passion for contemporary art in the collections in Bergamo’ is to present to what extent and in what cultural direction the city has developed since 1991, through a selection of works of contemporary art bought by collectors of Bergamo throughout the course of their experience.

For his first solo show at Galleria Alessandro De March, Berlin-based artist Gerold Miller presents a group of pieces, all from the ’90s, that perfectly illustrate the poetics of his very early career.
The German artist’s work formulates a concept of figurativism that goes beyond conventional definitions. He does not present the viewer with “a painting” or “a sculpture”, but rather, with its fundaments: a space that is taking shape sculpturally, a space made up of surfaces for the projection of images. His works thus experiment with an expanded concept in which the actual discovery of the image is entrusted to the viewer.
The exhibition catalogue is published by Mousse Publishing.

Ten Fundamental Questions of Curating is the project by Jens Hoffmann that the Fiorucci Art Trust, together with Mousse, has decided to support, and through which it makes its first approach to the public*. A project and a reflection aimed at outlining the multifaceted physiognomy of one of the figures – the curator – that has contributed most to make the present art scene fluid and dynamic.
Ten contributions, written and visual, to answer fundamental questions of curatorial praxis. Not the definition of a profile, but ten ways of being a curator.

Jessica Morgan opens the first of ten dossiers of the project. Reflection that investigates the multifaceted physiognomy of the curator. The illustrations were selected by Urs Fischer.

*In the international edition of Mousse and for subscribers
