SUMMARY:Gesamtkunstwerk. The Laboratory of the Senses At the Hermann Nitsch Museum
DESCRIPTION:Gesamtkunstwerk. The Laboratory of the Senses\nAt the Hermann Nitsch Museum \nNEW EXHIBITION DISPLAY\nCurated by Giuseppe Morra and Massimo Maiorino \n27 February – 31 July 2026\nOPENING 27 February – 6.00 pm \nMuseo Archivio Laboratorio per le Arti Contemporanee Hermann Nitsch\nVico Lungo Pontecorvo 29/d\, 80135 Napoli \nThe Fondazione Donnaregina per le arti contemporanee\, in collaboration with the Fondazione Morra and as part of the Fondazione Donnaregina’s Cultural Actions – Progetto XXI programme\, presents Gesamtkunstwerk. The Laboratory of the Senses at the Hermann Nitsch Museum\, curated by Giuseppe Morra and Massimo Maiorino\, on view from 27 February to 31 July 2026 at the Hermann Nitsch Museum.\nFor the first time\, the exhibition reassembles a fundamental nucleus of the museum’s collection within its full conceptual and perceptual unity. It does so through a newly conceived installation structured as a Laboratory of the Senses: an immersive and process-based environment in which the artwork is not presented as a completed object but as an active device\, capable of engaging visitors in a total aesthetic experience. In keeping with the idea of Gesamtkunstwerk\, the museum becomes a living organism in which painting\, action-objects\, sound\, space\, time and corporeality converge to generate an intensified perception of reality\, reaffirming Hermann Nitsch’s vision of the artwork as a radical extension of life. \nThe exhibition centres on three large-scale paintings created for the 152.aktion\, napoli 2017\, one of the artist’s most radical performative actions. These works are presented in dialogue with photographic and video documentation of the action\, alongside a selection of instruments from Nitsch’s painterly and performative practice. Also included is a significant portion of the chemical and pharmaceutical laboratory donated by the Scotto di Vettimo family\, comprising bottles\, flasks\, alembics and containers that evoke the alchemical and experimental dimension of Nitsch’s work. \nThe display integrates artworks\, documents and heterogeneous materials within an integrated sensory environment activated by the sound of the artist’s musical scores\, the chromatic intensity of the paintings\, the olfactory presence of essences and flowers\, and the potential for tactile and gustatory experience. In this way\, the museum is transformed into a relational and participatory space that challenges the paradigms of classical museology and proposes a new anthropology of aesthetic experience. \nThe exhibition is accompanied by an extensive public programme of talks\, all delivered in Italian\, featuring scholars and academics from diverse disciplinary backgrounds. These encounters are conceived as moments of critical reflection and discussion and include: An Idea of the Synesthetic Museum with Stefania Zuliani; Hermann Nitsch: The 152.aktion as a Total Work of Art with Lorenzo Mango; The Musical Scores of Hermann Nitsch with Massimiliano Locanto; The Museum as Performative Space with Maria Giovanna Mancini; The Painterly Experience of Hermann Nitsch with Maria De Vivo; Display Cases\, Pedestals\, Cabinets: Museum Punctuation in the Laboratory of the Senses with Elisabetta Modena; and The Nitsch Museum Laboratory as a Model of Sensory Curatorship with Gianpaolo Cacciottolo\, culminating in a concluding synthesis meeting. \nThe entire project\, including the installation\, the exhibited works and the critical contributions developed through the talks\, will form the basis of a dedicated publication\, reaffirming the museum as a site of experimentation\, embodied knowledge and profound participation. \nGesamtkunstwerk. The Laboratory of the Senses at the Hermann Nitsch Museum forms part of the Cultural Actions – Progetto XXI programme\, a platform through which the Fondazione Donnaregina per le arti contemporanee has promoted\, since 2012\, research and the enhancement of contemporary artistic practices\, from emerging experiences to the most radical and seminal investigations. The programme contributes to the construction of alternative narratives of the contemporary and to the development of a regional arts system grounded in collaboration between public institutions and private partners.\nThe project is developed in collaboration with the Fondazione Morra and is funded within the framework of the project “Relaunch and Support of the Fondazione Donnaregina – Progetto XXI Section” – POR FESR Campania 2014–2020.

She works mostly in black and white analogue on a large format camera\, exploring themes of faith\, ritual and identity.\nAlys grew up in Brighton and studied English Literature and Communications at the University of Leeds. After graduating\, she moved to New York for a year and was given her first commission for Time Out\, before returning to London to study photography at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. She later completed an MA in Anthropology of Travel\, Tourism and Pilgrimage (Distinction) at SOAS\, University of London\, which tied in with her long-term\, personal project about pilgrimage.\nHer book Ex-Voto was published by GOST Books in 2019 and Lost Summer was self-published in 2020. Alys recently finished work on a feature-length documentary film Mother Vera co-directed with Cécile Embleton. Her latest project Gli Isolani (The Islanders) was published by GOST Books in 2022. She combines commissioned work for editorial\, design and advertising clients with personal work\, which she publishes and exhibits.\nAlys’s work is collected privately and is in the following collections: National Portrait Gallery (London)\, The Rencontres d’Arles Collection\, The Bodleian Library\, AmberSide Collection. \nMother Vera (2024)\, 91 minutes\, black and white\, co-directed with Cécile Embleton.\nIn the striking silence of an Orthodox monastery in Belarus\, a nun walks quickly toward the place of prayer. Hidden in the folds of her black habit\, she kneels and lets out a deep breath\, opening the story of an unexpected path—where coming to terms with a dark past turns into a search for her own identity.\nCécile Embleton and Alys Tomlinson follow her with a quiet\, attentive gaze\, observing her daily life and slowly revealing the more intimate and hidden parts of her story.\nShot in refined black and white\, with a precise and balanced form\, Mother Vera traces a unique and unexpected female portrait\, touching on universal themes of redemption and the search for freedom.
