The most substantial core of works consists in the relicts of the 135.aktion directed by Nitsch in 2012 in Cuba for the 11th biennial dedicated to the children of ISA University and the relicts of the 158.aktion of 2020\, the last action of the master\, which took place in the central hall of the Nitsch Museum in Naples. The tour is complemented by the screening of Daniela Ambrosoli’s 2008 biographical film which retraces key moments in the life of the artist Hermann Nitsch with interviews and archive material\, and the video of the 158.aktion 2020 sinfonia napoli action. To expand your knowledge of the artistic philosophical thought of the O.M. Theater by Hermann Nitsch it is possible to consult the texts exhibited and present in the collection of the Library for Contemporary Arts.

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.

SUMMARY:Independent Film Show 2026
DESCRIPTION:INDEPENDENT FILM SHOW 2026\nBEN RUSSELL\nAGAINST VISION – AGAINST TIME – RUINS LIVE AV PERFORMANCE\nfriday 26 june at 09:00pm \nESTHER URLUS\nLOVE FOR ANALOG – LOVE FOR COLOR – UNTIL THE DARKNESS GOES EXPANDED FILM PERFORMANCE\nsaturday 27 june at 09:00pm \nBelvedere Museo Archivio Laboratorio per le Arti Contemporanee Hermann Nitsch \nLet’s try to open our perception to what is happening \nAmong its many definitions\, … experimental film is an art form because it involves the research and investigation of intangible energies that trigger powerful perceptual explorations\, constituting a fundamental motivation for the existence and promotion of filmic works. \nThe manipulation of time and space is a distinctive characteristic of the film form\, which artists modify using both traditional artisanal techniques and digital technologies. In practice\, this means inventing and manipulating the transparent film stock and photosensitive emulsions\, seeking new tools to change and alter images\, tampering with the mechanics of cameras and projectors – for the pleasure of evaluating the success or failure of a direct action and with the hope of conveying emotions\, allowing oneself to be captivated by what one sees\, and agreeing to engage the senses by shaking off the rules and habits employed during standardized cinematic screenings. To innovate\, artists use both analog and digital media; and just as happened in the past in the artisanal ateliers – today in artist-run film labs\, in an environment that bears no resemblance to the film industry – they master manual skills\, exchange experiences and abilities\, and plan and share their progress as well as audio and video software. \n… As in a trance or a deep meditation\, it is possible to trigger an intense transformation; for a brief moment\, the self can let go of the restraints of its habitual inhibitions\, dissolve the logical-consequential constructions\, and provide an alternative interpretation of what is observed; reshape the visual experience to open a path toward further representations\, in the same way that in lucid dreaming and hypnagogic hallucinations – during the transition from wakefulness to sleep – the hazy projections passing through the mind at that moment appear uncensored. These processes are characterized by a high degree of creativity and\, in the most responsive individuals\, can stimulate a synaesthetic effect of images and sounds and foster the imagination of progress and innovative solutions. \nINDEPENDENT FILM SHOW 2026 is one of the most transformative experiences for sensing these energies\, and this edition showcases the creative genius of Ben Russell and Esther Urlus. \nBen Russell – artist\, filmmaker\, curator – challenges conventions of documentary representation from within to produce intense\, hypnotic\, and\, at times\, hallucinating experiences. His curatorial work follows his filmmaking\, which unfolds between experimental cinema and a form of speculative ethnography; he calls it ‘psychedelic ethnography’. Watching a film by Russell means going on a nonnarrative\, ritualized journey\, one that short-circuits the visceral subjective charge of psychedelia with ethnographic protocols of visualization and objectification. The particular power of his filmic work lies in underscoring the affinities and differences to be found between these two different states. An experience that he forges\, on the one hand\, through examining the cinematic apparatus itself and its potential for immersion and mimetic identification\, and\, on the other\, by the very subjects and subject matter of his films\, which often traverse the liminal and engage in altered states of consciousness and in secular practices of ritual and trance. \nEsther Urlus is the founder of WORM Filmwerkplaats\, Rotterdam\, an artist-run workspace dedicated to motion picture film as an artistic\, expressive medium. More and more it’s the artist-run film lab that represents the leading standard in contemporary analogue filmmaking. These labs have acquired professional\, but commercially discarded equipment from all over the world. Now that artists have access to these tools\, combined with the open culture-based knowledge sharing\, they can move forward and innovate independently from the industry. \nPROGRAMS \nfriday 26 june \nAGAINST VISION Film Program curated by BEN RUSSELL \nGUNVOR NELSON MY NAME IS OONA 1969\, Sweden\, 16mm\, b/w\, optical sound\, 10 min.\nALEXANDRE LAROSE BROUILLARD #14 2013\, Canada\, 35mm > video\, color\, silent\, 10 min.\nXANDER MARRO with MAT BRINKMAN 01/06 2006\, USA\, 16mm > video\, color\, sound\, 12 min. 33 sec.\nPHILL NIBLOCK THE MAGIC SUN 1966-1969\, USA\, 16mm > video\, b/w\, sound\, 16 min. 43 sec. \nAGAINST VISION is a program of influences spread across a series of radiant visions.  From the avant-garde diary film to the silent structural journal\, from an explosion of the everyday into a concert recording that becomes an overwhelming perceptual field\, this is a proposition for a kind of seeing that is less document than it is feeling\, form\, sound and being. \nAGAINST TIME Films by BEN RUSSELL \nTRYPPS #7 (BADLANDS) 2010\, USA\, S16mm > video\, color\, sound\, 10 min.\nRIVER RITES 2011\, USA\, S16mm > video\, color\, sound\, 11 min.\nBLACK AND WHITE TRYPPS NUMBER THREE 2007\, USA\, 35mm > video\, color\, sound\, 11 min. 30 sec.\nAGAINST TIME 2022\, USA\, S16mm > video\, color\, sound\, 23 min.\nANOTHER EARTH 2025\, USA\, S16mm > video\, color\, sound\, 11 min. 10 sec. \nAGAINST TIME Five films drawn from a span of eighteen years\, each of which assumes time to be both the medium of cinema and a site of resistance to the otherwise constant\, linear and unrelenting movement forward. Featuring LSD trips\, river gods\, trance states\, cross-fade portals\, strobing sunsets and a heavy dose of the always-already present. \nRUINS\nLIVE AV PERFORMANCE modular synthesizer and video synthesizer\, +/- 40 min. \nRUINS A live improvisation that uses video and modular synthesis to produce a dynamic interface between image-as-sound and sound-as-image. \nsaturday 27 june \nLOVE FOR ANALOG 16mm Film Compilation curated by ESTHER URLUS \nMALCOLM LE GRICE BERLIN HORSE 1970\, UK\, 16mm > video\, color\, sound\, 9 min.\nJEFF SCHER YOURS 1997\, USA\, 16mm >video\, color\, sound\, 3 min. 13 sec.\nNICOLAS REY TERMINUS FOR YOU 1996\, France\, 16mm\, b/w\, optical sound\, 10 min.\nFRANCIEN VAN EVERDINGEN MONOLOGUE EXTERIEUR 2004\, Netherlands\, 16mm\, color\, silent\, 3 min.\nHANNE VAN ASTEN SCIOPTICON 2004\, Netherlands\, 16mm\, color\, sound\, 6 min.\nJOOST VAN VEEN INTERLUDE 2005\, Netherlands\, 16mm\, b/w\, sound\, 2 min. 30 sec. \nDriven by this artistic freedom\, self-skilled film artists like myself take up the challenge to get rid of the medium’s nostalgic doom and create new opportunities for the continued use and further development of the machinery and technology of analogue film. It opens up possibilities to dive deeply into what is already possible and combine this with contemporary insights and skills to a whole new domain of expertise. \nLOVE FOR COLOR 16mm Films by ESTHER URLUS \nIDYLL 2008\, Netherlands\, 16mm hand processed and printed color print stock\, 6 min.\nDEEP RED 2012\, Netherlands\, 16mm anamorphic blow up to 35mm\, hand processed\, 7 min. 15 sec.\nRODE MOLEN 2013\, Netherlands\, 16mm hand processed printed color print stock\, sound Matt Kemp\, 5 min. 15 sec.\nKONRAD & KURFURST 2013/14\, Netherlands\, 16mm tinted and toned handmade b/w emulsion\, sound\, 7 min.\nELLI 2015/16\, Netherlands\, 16mm phasing zebra loops printed to color\, sound by Matt Kemp\, 8 min.\nDELETION 2017\, Netherlands\, 16mm handmade emulsion loops printed to color\, sound by Ji Youn Kang\, 12 min.\nSTUDIE VOOR EEN VELDSLAG 2018/19\, Netherlands\, 16mm\, color\, optical sound\, 6 min. 30 sec. \nIn my film work I create a link between specific historical events and stories and the (re) use of analog film techniques and inventions from the early days of photography and cinematography. I force a sometimes alienating parallel between the events or the story and the cinematic technique\, to enhance the impact of the image. In addition\, I create my own film material\, literally\, by mixing silver nitrate and bromide salt with gelatin and water to form a light-sensitive emulsion. I’m not looking for a naturalist\, commercial like film material\, outcome. I intend to create unique components that\, by its singularity\, generates a special and cinematic experience. \nUNTIL THE DARKNESS GOES\nEXPANDED FILM PERFORMANCE 6x16mm projectors\, color\, sound\, 30 min. \nA ‘tonal’ 16mm film performance\, a sonorous poem of twilight\, indistinctness and suggestiveness\, I’m trying to make visible the darkness of a depressed mind. The suffering of an adolescent\, my daughter. Colors and mood inspired by the famous and unique photograph ‘The Pond – Moonlight’ by Steichen (1904) and the Nocturne paintings by Whistler (1870). \nThe work consists of several short 16mm film loops\, grouped into different sequences. Each group consists of loops with similar\, but not the same\, film scenes in slightly different lengths. When played simultaneously\, both overlapping side by side\, a phase shift occurs. \nwww.em-arts.org/
