For the spaces of Platea Palazzo Galeano, Extragarbo is engaging in an unprecedented manner with an exhibition format that is detached from the impermanent temporality of live arts from which it originates.
"Concerto" is the result of a process-oriented work and active involvement of the citizens of Lodi, carried out in May 2024. Through an investigation that intertwines the theories of sonic agency by American theorist Brandon Labelle with those of sociological imagination by Avery Gordon, the Venetian collective interviewed about a hundred people belonging to the various communities that make up the heterogeneous social system of Lodi, asking them two simple questions:
"If you could choose one piece of music to be broadcast in public space, so that everyone can hear it, what music would it be? In which place would you like to broadcast it?"
The responses yielded an affective archive, a sound-emotional cartography of the city, composed of musical tracks connected to significant places for the individuals and groups that inhabit it in different ways.
Come in un concerto – termine-ombrello del gergo sinfonico che indica un dialogo tra diversi strumenti o tra un solista e un coro -, Extragarbo installa all’interno dello spazio espositivo un juke-box che, come un solista in relazione allo spazio urbano antistante, diffonderà accidentalmente e in maniera inaspettata i brani raccolti durante il mese di apertura della mostra. L’eclettico repertorio raccolto attiva la strada-coro attraverso un dispositivo relazionale che intende interrogare criticamente la vetrina come spazio di visibilità privilegiata nel tentativo di rendere permeabili i confini tra esterno ed interno, pubblico e privato, restituendo la ricchezza e la complessità con cui la città viene percepita e attraversata.
'Concerto' is part of the third event of FARE COLLETTIVO, the new exhibition programme of Platea Palazzo Galeano. With FARE COLLETTIVO, Platea questions the reasons that drive artists to form collectives, the needs for creating spaces of cooperation and sharing, and the alternative scenarios that can arise from a collective artistic practice in a society that tends towards individualism and competitiveness. Through four exhibitions, a publication, and a series of events, Platea is configured as a place of investigation, involving the public and schools.
Among the artistic projects supported and realized so far are. Fin che ci trema il cuore (2022), Wash your art, wash your city (2021), Acabadabra (2021), Call Monica (2021), rovìnati (2021); tra i progetti curatoriali, S.A.F.E. (Palazzo Grassi – Punta della Dogana, 2021), Training for the Future (con Sale Docks, Florian Malzacher e Jonas Staal), Disabitare (vari luoghi, 2020), Isole Querelas (Santarcangelo Festival 2020) e Il Divertimento per li Regazzi (vari luoghi, 2019).
