il

The Museo Madre presents the third chapter of Gli anni, an exhibition project exploring key moments and protagonists in the recent history of art in Naples through artworks, archives, and shared memories. Among the exhibition's highlights is a special focus on Nanni Balestrini: Tristanoil (2012) takes centre stage in a room curated by Lorenzo Coletta, where it enters into dialogue with sound experiments by artists from different generations.

Bringing together significant works by Italian and international artists, the exhibition weaves together visual art, experimental practices, and reflections on the present. Gli anni presents the museum as a place where the memory of the past continues to generate new interpretations and critical dialogue. The exhibition unfolds throughout the Madre's galleries with new installations, commissions, and research projects, accompanied by a public programme of talks, conversations, and guided visits.
