n conjunction with the exhibition Piero Manzoni: Total Space, Magazzino Italian Art will host a symposium dedicated to examining the art of Piero Manzoni. Bringing together scholars, curators, critics, and artists, the program will explore the philosophical foundations of Manzoni’s work, his conceptual strategies, and the network of dialogues and exchanges that shaped his practice and reception.

During the symposium and for the entire days of April 11 and 12, Manzoni’s Base magica (Magical Base) currently on view at Magazzino will be activated through a participatory photographic project, inviting visitors to become artworks themselves, if only for a few moments.
