At Palazzo Albergati in Bologna, the exhibition dedicated to Giovanni Boldini continues, with over 90 works, on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of his death in Paris in 1931.

Feminine charm, sumptuous, rustling clothes and salons frame the world of Giovanni Boldini, a genius of painting who was able to make an extraordinary era immortal.

The exhibition is developed on a narrative register both chronological and thematic and presents a rich selection of works in which female beauty is painted in all its beautiful facets and the innermost soul of the noble protagonists of the time is gently revealed.

The MAST Collection - a visual alphabet of industry, work and technology - continues until 22 May 2022.

The MAST Foundation presents a wide selection of over 500 images including photographs, albums and videos from its collection, occupying all the exhibition areas, in the spaces of MAST.

The exhibition is packed with iconic images by world-famous photographers, lesser-known or unknown photographers, and MAST Photograhy Grant finalists.

The collection has been structured in 53 chapters dedicated to the same number of concepts illustrated by the works represented.

The exhibition form is that of an alphabet, which runs along the walls of the three exhibition spaces and allows a conceptual system to be highlighted.

The alphabet represents a tool intended to indicate the points of interest and the most intense areas through which the meaning of each image is illuminated.

In terms of time, only the 19th century has been dedicated a section linked to the initial stages of industrialisation and the history of the art of photography.

The importance of the theme of work, the masterpieces showing it and their qualities offer a unique opportunity for observation and reflection.

The exhibition proposes a series of meetings to explore the relationship between the artist and the city, on the occasion of the exhibition "Antonio e bologna. Alle origini della Pinacoteca" at the Pinacoteca Nazionale in Bologna.

In the spaces of Sala Farnese and the exhibition halls on the second floor of Palazzo d'Accursio in Bologna, the exhibition Les Filons Géologiques opened on 3 December 2021, collectively curated by Black History Month Bologna and Black History Month Florence, with the contribution of the Municipality of Bologna.

Les Filons Géologiques presents the work of thirteen artists who address their research to intergenerational and transnational realities, with works capable of shifting perceptions of geography and historiography as definitions and factors of contemporary practice.

Les Filons Géologiques brings together multiple generations of artists grappling with an intrinsic search for fluid pathways that break through established historical perceptions and nationalistic narratives.

The project, which takes its name from a line of Allure, a poem by the Martinican author Aimé Césaire, is realised in collaboration with The Recovery Plan, Istituzione Bologna Musei | MAMbo - Museo d'Arte Moderna di Bologna | Collezioni Comunali d'Arte, Centro Studi Amilcar Cabral, Villa Romana, Numeroventi, October Gallery, Murate Art District and Africa e Mediterraneo.

Artificial Botany The synthetic metamorphoses of fuse* and Francesca Pasquali is the title of the project curated by Federica Patti for das.05, the fifth edition of das-dialoghi artistici sperimentali until 22 May.

Cubo Unipol launches a double exhibition under the banner of a widespread, immersive and varied experience involving various spaces of the Business Museum on the idea of mutability, transience, evolution, images of nature through technological transformation processes.

Artificial Botany is a journey through images to explore the expressive potential of ancient botanical illustrations through the use of artificial intelligence algorithms.

CUBO Unipol enters into a relationship with the University Library of Bologna (BUB) by exhibiting an original copy of the painted herbarium alongside digital creations of nature subject to the changing effects of culture.

Sembianze is a reflection on the theme of bullying that leads to a live performance from 7 February to 13 March in the spaces of the MAMbo education department.

During the performance the young people involved in the project, who are physically present, will be available to submit themselves to the gaze of the public who, individually, will sit at a table in front of them. Listening to the story through the gaze is intended to trigger an attempt to recognise who (among the three) could be the protagonist of the story and will be forced to come to terms with personal appearances, assumptions and prejudices.

The project Sembianze was conceived and realised by Arthea Lab and Associazione Dedalus with the contribution of Fondazione del Monte and with the collaboration and patronage of the Ufficio Giovani del Comune di Bologna and the support of Tper and Città Metropolitana. In collaboration with the MAMbo Education Department.

5 March 1942, Pier Paolo Pasolini, poet, screenwriter, actor, director and playwright, was born in an almost blossoming Bologna. 100 years after his birth, the city pays tribute to him with an exhibition dedicated to his intellectual training and literary beginnings, which took place in Bologna between the end of the 1930s and the early 1940s.

Pasolini can be considered one of the greatest and most significant contemporary Italian authors, as he wrote and directed authentic life works, with themes that caused a stir and inflamed society in the late 1960s. Raising public awareness, informing, keeping abreast of changing customs, recounting the lives of young boys, were the basis of his human and literary work.

The exhibition opens to the public particularly rare documents, such as the magazine 'Il Setaccio', published in Bologna between November 1942 and May 1943, of which Pasolini was one of the founders and among the main editors, publishing moral reflections, literary essays, art criticism, poems in Italian and Friulian. Moreover, the Archiginnasio Library owns all the issues, which can be browsed online.

At the centre of the exhibition is Pasolini's first published piece of writing, his true literary debut. It is an article on contemporary poetry, which appeared in April 1942 in Gioventù italiana del Littorio, a bulletin of the Bologna Federal Command which, until its rediscovery in 2015, was not mentioned in any study or bibliography.

The documents that will be presented are mostly from the collection of the Archiginnasio, but also from the University Library of Bologna, the Pier Paolo Pasolini Archive Study Centre of the Cineteca di Bologna, the Historical Archive of the University of Bologna, the Cantonal Library of Lugano and the Liceo Ginnasio Luigi Galvani.

The exhibition will be open from 15 February to 19 March 2022.
