Christian Boltanski

Christian Boltanski is the artist selected for the special cultural project promoted by the city of Bologna in 2017. The French artist, one of the most important living ones at international level, will be the main focus of a rich programme of cultural events called Anime. Di luogo in luogo. The core of the whole project, the anthological exhibition displayed at the MAMbo museum will be the largest ever organized in Italy with more than 20 installations.
The exhibition will retrace Boltanski's poetics, from the mid Eighties until the most recent years and will unfold according to some specific topics that have always crossed his work: disappearance, the dialectic relation between life and death, the frailty of memory and recollections, the fight against the inevitability of oblivion, the inherent tragic sense of history.
