\"DueTorri\"<\/a>The ART CITY<\/em> in Bologna is traditionally during the weekend of the Arte Fiera<\/em>. This year, the multi-event took place from Friday the 29th to Sunday 31st January 2016. These days, dedicated to art and culture in the city are promoted by the Comune di Bologna<\/em> (Municipality of Bologna) and the BolognaFiere<\/em> (Fair of Bologna), in coordination with the City of Bologna Department of Culture and commercial cultural operators.<\/p>\n

The highlight of the ART CITY<\/em> is the Saturday\u2019s White Night<\/em> (30th January 2016), a cultural marathon: museums, historical palaces, art galleries, cultural institutions and independent exhibition spaces in and around the historical city centre are opened to everyone until midnight, mostly free of charge. After the closing of the venues there are many parties in town to celebrate the night until dawn.<\/p>\n

There were 70 appointments in 46 places announced by ART CITY<\/em>, but there were several more such as the shows in town by the SetUp Art Fair<\/em> and private initiatives. So it is impossible to visit them all. Nevertheless, we\u2019ve done our best to see a maximum of events to give you our personal impressions of the Bologna White Night 2016<\/em>. A lot of the exhibitions are still open, so take the opportunity to visit some if you are near. We started our circuit in the Manifattura Delle Arti<\/em> (Manufactory of Arts), a quarter in the north east of the historical city centre with a strong cultural promotion. Besides the MAMbo<\/em> (Bologna Museum of Modern Art), the Cineteca<\/em> (inter alia film restoration centre, specialised library, archive, cinema) and other institutions, there are several contemporary art galleries.<\/p>\n

Based in this quarter, is the Gallleriapi\u00f9<\/em>, who inaugurated on the occasion of the White Nigh<\/em>t its exhibition \u201cSeveral Laws. The Elastic Test\u201d<\/em> by the Romanian collective Apparatus 22<\/em>. It questions the human body as a battlefield of interferences by social norms and values, scientific concepts and enterprise dreams to accelerate consumption. Inter alia, there are seven frames, coated with coloured animal-skin; statements concerning the subject are tattooed on the skins. Depending on the colour some of the pieces might recall gravestones; others, especially the ones in pastel shades, seem to be as soft as velvet by their aesthetic and invite to be touched.<\/p>\n
