On Saturday, Feb. 15, 2025, 6 p.m., the Municipality of Borgolavezzaro (NO) and the Milan-based Antonietta Viganone ETS Foundation, at Palazzo Longoni, via Cavour 12 – Borgolavezzaro (NO), are inaugurating the solo exhibition by Antonietta Viganone entitled
OTHER WOMEN. THE SOLITUDE OF CONTEMPORARY WOMEN,
with the artistic and scientific curatorship of Marco Eugenio Di Giandomenico.
The exhibition, which runs through March 16, 2025, includes some of painting and sculpture works by Antonietta Viganone, mostly featuring female subjects related to her artistic production in the 1960s.
“Antonietta Viganone – comments art critic Marco Eugenio Di Giandomenico -presents in her works women intercepted in moments of intimacy, in which they are free from the conditioning of contemporary society. After nearly sixty years since the paintings were made, so-called female emancipation has created other solitudes for the women of our time, thrown into the vortex of a general social, familial and gender identity crisis amplified by Byung-Chul Han’s society of transparency.”
“The Municipality of Borgolavezzaro – says Mayor Renato Padoan – welcomes the exhibition of its illustrious fellow citizen, who was born in Borgolavezzaro”.
Lecturers at the opening of the exhibition include Renato Padoan (Mayor of the Municipality of Borgolavezzaro), Luisa Monfrinotti (President of the Borgolavezzaro Municipal Library), Francesco Fabbiani (President of the Antonietta Viganone ETS Foundation), and Domenica D’Elia (executor of Antonietta Viganone’s will).
The event, which is sponsored by the consortium company ATL Terre dell’Alto Piemonte, enjoys the media promotion of Betting On Italy (BOI) and Estro Digitale.
Also present at the inauguration are Raffaele Caccavo (supervisory body of the Fondazione Antonietta Viganone ETS) and Barbara Minisini (legal auditor of the Fondazione Antonietta Viganone ETS).
