Xing presents the fourth edition of Live Arts Week that will be held in Bologna from 21 to 26 April, based at Ex Ospedale dei Bastardini, together with a week-long special project at MAMbo – Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna.

This event dedicated to live arts, unique in Italy, hosts a blend of new productions that revolve around the presence, performance and perceptual experience of sounds and visions

Live Arts Week is a six-day event of “existential athletics.” It does not put art before the artists, but exposes to forms of sensitivity and ideas, welcomes hybrid and polyglot works, hosts creative singularity, weaving a sort of counter-design of use. 

The program offers a calendar of live works (performances, environments, concerts, expanded cinema and live media with unique dates, productions and previews) presented by important personalities in the international and contemporary research scene.

For the fourth edition, Xing assembled both groups of unmatched artists and solitary researchers. A village/palazzo and a modern art museum will host this unusual set of habitats, opening up two worlds that will alternate between day and night: the great 20th-century composition by John Cage, HPSCHD, accompanied by the visuals of post-digital collections in the monolithic space of MAMbo, besides the collective statements, the incarnated theories and sound phenomena that will come to life in the evocative rooms of the ancient Hospital for Foundlings.

Gianni Peng, a name that accompanies the festival in its organic growth, indicates the time of these transitions. It is a phenomenon, not a person: a new identity, unlikely but real, to be treated as an abstract concept.
