morra was always there for me, in every aspect. he is my friend, my pupil, teacher, publisher, gallerist, patron. we actually never wanted anything from one another directly, and we sought each other. we both had a presence and power of attraction that enabled us to get more done than we had hoped for. the museo nitsch is proof, testimony and a fact of our friendship. our relationship.

The exhibition 50 YEARS OF FRIENDSHIP 1974-2024 curated by Giuseppe Morra for the two years period 2024-2026 offers a wide selection of works including relicts, pictorial actions, architecture, photographs and videos of the actions with the intent on recounting the intense work of the artist Hermann Nitsch during the fifty years of friendship and collaboration with Morra. 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.
