A walk through the exhibition with Camille Morineau

The Public Program of Pirelli HangarBicocca devoted to the exhibition “Jean Tinguely” presents on Thursday 24 October at 7 PM, an itinerant lecture in the exhibition spaces with Camille Morineau, co-curator of the exhibition and co-founder of AWARE: Archives of Women Artist, Research and Exhibitions.

Camille Morineau will guide the audience through the exhibition, exploring the works on display. Drawing on the most recent research on Jean Tinguely, the curator will examine the curatorial choices of this retrospective: the focus on sound and movement, the artist as musician and conductor, the concept of the exhibition as a stage, and finally, the interaction between the works and the public.

The conversation was in English. Simultaneous translation in Italian was provided.
