Benetton Studi Ricerche Foundation and Imago Mundi Foundation present, from 5 February to 29 May 2022 , " TREVISO CONTEMPORANEA ", a project that develops from an exhibition platform of three exhibitions in three different locations in the heart of the city of Treviso and which will act with the common theme " MAPPING THE WORLD ".

The result of a close collaboration between the two institutions, the three exhibitions will be set up in as many locations in the heart of the city - Ca 'Scarpa , the church of San Teonisto and the Gallerie delle Prigioni - and will act, each according to its own vision and code, at the 'teaches a common theme, that of the very current need to " map the world " in historical and contemporary perception, from the traditional forms of cartographic reading of the terrestrial space to the artistic transcription in the relationship between experience and representation, up to the work of artists and communities from the Australian Aboriginal art world.

The Australian Aboriginal art collection, part of the Luciano Benetton Collection, has initiated a research process aimed at investigating the artistic, cultural and social life of the artists and communities that make up the Aboriginal art landscape. The exhibition " Terra Incognita " offers the visitor a large installation consisting of over eighty painted canvases, which creates a vibrant landscape of colors, to be observed from above and from a certain distance, as befits sacred spaces, and to the places to which one approaches with respect. A landscape made up of different experiences and expressions, which does not exclude anyone, but neither does it deny the possibility of self-exclusion.

The collection, like what is focused by a telescope, makes visible to the Italian public a portion of the beauty and relevance of the cultural landscape experienced by Aboriginal communities across Australia . And inviting them to explore their social and political territories as well, it makes it clear that there is still a lot to know.
