From 11 October to 9 February 2025
The Palazzo Magnani Foundation presents on October 11th the project conceived by the British artist David Tremlett for the city, which includes the large permanent artistic intervention at the Ex Caffarri The Organ Pipes, and the exhibition Another Step, curated by Marina Dacci, in the exhibition spaces of the Chiostri di San Pietro.
It is an event that strengthens the identity of the Chiostri di San Pietro as a hub of international contemporary art, creating an ideal connection with the enhancement of the city's artistic and cultural heritage. For over twenty years, Reggio Emilia has invested in contemporary art, with important institutional choices, for the reconfiguration of problematic areas and/or undergoing transformation with the aim of creating a path of social and educational improvement. Between 2003 and 2006, the public art project "Invito a…" was carried out, conceived and proposed to the city by the artist Claudio Parmiggiani, involving four international art protagonists such as Luciano Fabro, Eliseo Mattiacci, Robert Morris, Sol Lewitt to think and produce works for some places in the city. In 2022, the collective artwork CuriosaMeravigliosa by Joan Fontcuberta was added to these.
In this perspective, David Tremlett (St. Austell, Cornwall, 1945) - an artist with a consolidated international curriculum and sixty years of research behind him - was invited to Reggio Emilia, on the proposal of Marina Dacci, to visit the Ex Caffarri - a building located in the northern area of the city and already at the center of some redevelopment interventions. His choice was to intervene on the entrance facade and on the 13 large silos to create the visible sign of a place dedicated to the training and aggregation of communities, especially young people, which will host entities like the Reggio Children Foundation, the Creative Recycling Center Remida, The Lego Foundation, the MaMiMò Theater Center, and a boxing gym.
