Fault Lines: Allora&Calzadilla at the Fondazione Nicola Trussardi

From 22 October to 24 November 2013 the Fondazione Nicola Trussardi is hosting Fault Lines, the first major exhibition in Italy of the duo Allora&Calzadilla.

The exhibition will be held in the baroque halls of the historic Palazzo Cusani in Brera. The works on display, in which the two artists experiment with different elements and languages, include a selection of recent works (such as the trilogy of films presented at the Festival d'Automne in Paris) and some productions made especially for the event. The title Fault Lines refers to the lines that hide deep fragility and represent an opportunity to investigate the concept of borders and physical and symbolic lines which separate different worlds in modern day emotional geography.

For Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla, who have already held important exhibitions at the MoMA in New York and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, art is an instrument with which to study the key concepts of the present day: national identity, democracy, power, freedom and social change.
