Thursday 05 february
from 16:00 to 16:50 Padiglione Esprit Nouveau
Wardrobe
Performance by Chalisée Naamani
Wardrobe (2025), a new project conceived specifically for the Padiglione de l’Esprit Nouveau, combines a site-specific architectural presentation with a performance by the artist in person. Inspired by the dual nature of the Padiglione – manifesto of modernist ideals and prototype of the machine à habiter (a house is a machine for living) – Naamani transforms the building into a sort of large wardrobe in which she stages daily life through the act of ironing. By means of a simple and repeated gesture, Naamani transforms this domestic action into a critical device, revealing the ways in which the body becomes part of, adapts to, and renegotiates the spatial and functional systems of daily life.
Admission is free and no booking is required. You do not need to purchase a ticket for Arte Fiera to attend the performance. Please note that the daily ticket (1 entry) does not allow you to leave and re-enter the fair. We therefore recommend that you visit the Padiglione before entering Arte Fiera or when you leave. Each performance lasts approximately 75 to 90 minutes.
An Arte Fiera – Bologna Fiere project in collaboration with Furla Foundation. Curated by Bruna Roccasalva.
