The show

Between fantasy and reality, there is a colorful space that is play: a dimension of communication that, perhaps more than others, unites generations, beyond the passage of time. The exhibition "Playing a rule of art", curated by Paolo Giulierini and Ermanno Tedeschi, is scheduled at the National Archaeological Museum of Naples from 10 December 2021 to 2 June 2022: the path, set up in the rooms of the Frescoes, creates a subtle link and unavoidable between ancient culture and postmodern life. About fifty artifacts, selected thanks to careful excavation work in the MANN deposits, interact with contemporary toys and artistic creations. Moral of the story (and here it is appropriate to say it): the child of our identity has perhaps changed little.

The exhibition is divided into six sections: childhood; childhood; the simple game; the games that make you grow; toys; the games that make you grow up. For each exhibition segment, the common thread is the comparison between forms and ways of entertainment, in a combination of the exhibits and their current "counterparts". The scientific project, which is today presented at the Museum, was born in 2019 with the exhibition Bimbumbam, the game is life, the game is memory, the game is art, set up at the Steri Complex in collaboration with the University of Palermo; further exhibition pieces, in 2021, were presented at the Museum of Ceramics in Mondovì and at the Negev Museum in Be'er Sheva in Israel, always highlighting how playful and artistic activities can take on a formative importance that goes beyond leisure.
