2022 ~ DAI Week 5 ~ March 24 - April 2
Invited by Sara Benaglia (DAI, 2020) we will be in Bergamo, Italy, for DAI Week 5. Here, BACO (BaseArteContemporaneaOdierna) will generously open their workspaces for us.
BACO is located in the Domus Magna, a 16th century building that was the main headquarters of the Misericordia Maggiore of Bergamo and for many years housed the city's music conservatory.
BACO is a non-profit cultural association founded with the aim of creating links between the tradition of memory theatre and contemporary art. Through exhibitions, publications (of books, essays and interviews) and conferences, it supports Italian and international artists.
BACO is a research space, whose activities mainly focus on breaking the barrier between the ancient and the contemporary. End of August 2022 we will return to Bergamo for COOP SUMMIT 2022.
