Museo Hermann Nitsch, Italy |
| Description |
The Hermann Nitsch Museum/Archive Laboratory for the Contemporary Arts is located in a former factory built to produce electricity in 1892. Conceived as a space for the documentation and analysis of the philosophical, poetic, and visual themes developed by the great Austrian artist Hermann Nitsch (Vienna 1938), it is a place where the art works (wrecks) from the Aktionen of the Orgien Mysterien Theater take solid form once more in an exploratory journey open to experimentation and the ideal of Gesamtkunstwerk (total art work), where the multiple domains of visual experience synaesthetically converge. The Hermann Nitsch Museum, located in the heart of the lively Pontecorvo district, is the brainchild of Giuseppe Morra, who has been a friend of the Maestro and a patron of his work since the 1970s. By emphasizing these deep anthropological interconnections, the Hermann Nitsch Museum aims to become a diversified space for projects and reflection on the very essence of Art. |
| Description of the economic, social and environmental impacts of the project |
The driving role of the Fondazione Morra stems not only from its founding principles but also from the social and cultural growth of both informal and institutional interlocutors. A slow but effective process of shared planning drives and galvanizes the network of “creative and plural identities” living in the administrative area known as the Second Avvocata - Montecalvario - Port Municipality. A proposal to reappropriate places, valorizing the “stories” of the territory and its social, cultural, and economic progress brings to light the issue of the potential of cultural enterprise. The Foundation is therefore committed to providing a structure-giving force to the cultural infrastructures of the neighbourhood at large, developing the activities of the Nitsch Museum, which is also an 'Artists’ house museum’ because Herman Nitsch is living and active – a shining star illuminating other cultural planets of art for art. |
