LUGANO, TWO SHOWS NOT TO MISS

C ORPO Automation Robotics. BETWEEN ART, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
LOOK. LOOK AT THE FACE AND THE ART 1969-2009
opening Saturday, October 24 Look and technology. The face and the look in art 1969-2009 enroll in a joint cultural project of the two major art museums of the Polo Culturale di Lugano: Museo d'Arte della Città di Lugano and the Museo Cantonale d'Arte , offering a sort of cross-reading of artistic research on the body and face such fundamental elements of human identity.


Body robotic automation. Art, Science and Technology
Art Museum, among the initiatives promoted by the Cultural Centre of the City of Lugano, is organizing, in collaboration with the Fondazione Antonio Mazzotta, Milan and with the participation of the National Museum of Science and Technology "Leonardo da Vinci" in Milan the Museo Cantonale d'Arte, the exhibition "Body robotic automation. Art, Science and Technology", which deals with an interdisciplinary approach to the relationship between the human body and the representation that it was given by the arts, science and technology, especially with regard to the dynamics of imitation of the body (with robots) and its replacement (with robots).
The exhibition held at the Art Museum and Villa Ciani, is curated by Bruno Cora (Director of the Museum of Arts and Coordinator of the Cultural Centre of Lugano) and Peter Bellasi (Curator of the Antonio Mazzotta Foundation and Professor of Sociology at the ' University of Bologna), with the collaboration of Gilles Caprari (Researchers in robotics and ETHZ GCtronic Diretor of Robotics, Mendrisio), Christoph Hänggi (Director of the Museum für Musikautomaten, Seewen), Mario G. Losano (Professor of Philosophy of Law and Legal Informatics, University of Piemonte Orientale), Carlo Piccardi (musicologist), Pio Pellizzari (Director of the Swiss National Sound Archives, Lugano), Renato Reichlin (Director of the spectacle of the city of Lugano), Vivi Vassillopoulou (Director of Antiquities and Cultural Heritage of Greece, greek Ministry of Culture, Athens).

The exhibition is divided into two sections: the first, held at Villa Ciani, traces the history of automata, by offering an overview Ancient Greece to present day, including some of the most advanced technology products such as robots, androids, etc.. The second, presented to the Art Museum gives space for reflection on the artistic creation of modern and contemporary art focuses on the relationship between body and body-machine technology.
Archaeological finds, drawings, printed books, documents, theater, cinema and music, various types of robots-including the famous designer of Jacquet-Droz-made in the eighteenth century, toys, paintings, sculptures, videos , installations, industrial robots and ludicisono presented following an exhibition in the primarily chronological, without excluding hybrids Thematic, such as allow the development dialogue in the works on display from various collections all over the world.
The National Museum of Science and Technology "Leonardo da Vinci" in Milan holds a six historical models of cars built in the 50 basis of the interpretation of drawings by Leonardo da Vinci and dedicated to the development of automatic or translation of animal forms and human resources, such as wing structures and the diver.
"Body robotic automation. Art, Science and Technology is the most important cultural attractions of the city of Lugano in the autumn of 2009. The project in fact provides for numerous side events including a film festival organized by the Luganocinema93 film club, a number of initiatives organized by Music Today and a host of theatrical performances in the theater season in Lugano. The catalog
bilingual (Italian / English) published by Mazzotta, contains color reproductions of all works in the exhibition and the critical contributions of the editors and experts of different disciplines, from history to art, music, theater, cinema, and engineering.


Look at me. The face and the look in art 1969-2009
With around 80 works of 40 artists, it aims to investigate the international art of the last four decades studying the persistence of the representation of the face, its changes and transformations. The works come from museums, foundations, galleries and collectors across Europe, as well as by the artists themselves.
The exhibition is curated by Marco Franciolli, and Bettina Della Casa Director, Curator, Museo Cantonale d'Arte. Video section by Elena Volpato, GAM Turin.
The exhibition of the Museo Cantonale d'Arte was born from a series of questions: it is still reasonable to think the representation of the face as an index of identity? How significant correspondence between sign and thing, image and subject?
A reflection on the subject today is confronted necessarily in the arts, with the deconstruction of the face that broke up, is veiled, it deforms, delete, resisting any form of unique identity between the model / shape, subject / image. The crisis of the subject, now permanently undermined its unity and centrality, brings into play the very possibility of having a face or not. Nevertheless, research in the face of contemporary artists and its transformations remains a prime issue, which is reflected in changes in the strategy (self-) representation, in other ways to be reflected in one or more times.
In order to limit the scope of investigation in itself limitless, the "face" is understood not as a "portrait", but rather as "inter-face between himself and others (in addition to himself) . Instead of focusing on the singularity of the face as a place of individuality and representativeness of the subject, it is considered in its general character as a place of possibility / impossibility of establishing relations between subjects, the background of a historical-cultural context increasingly marked by instances of de-individualizing.
Each face involves bringing into play of the eye, seen as vital if the device is designed posters, is orientated towards the outside world (the other / the observer). The eye and its trajectory are then used as the criterion for analysis of the face, as factors in (re) velarne the mystery and its variations. But who are the architects of the look? The artist, the subject of the work and the observer. In the dialectical relationship between these three actors look is activated by giving life (face?) face. From this distinction means joint exposure.
