The collaboration between Dolomiti Contemporanee and Trieste Next aim to create a dialogue between science and art, both examples of how the human being investigates reality and express himself.

Two artists worked at the Civic Aquarium of Trieste, important museum of the city that represents the cultural identity of Trieste, city by the sea: Dimitri Giannina e Daniela Di Maro.

Daniela Di Maro worked at the Aquarium for a week during an artist’s residence. The Aquarium became the subject of the critical exploration of the artist, which took shape as a video-installation, exhibited at the first floor of the Museum.

Dimitri Giannina, insted, staged the performance H2-ON, inspired by the well-known story of Marco the Penguin, which lived for many years at the Aquarium.

This section of Upokeimenon (in Trieste) will close on 3 november 2013.
