The American election campaigns are in their specificity largely theatrical, full of strong emotions, and heavily based on premeditated strategy. Starting from John Fitzgeral Kennedy, the first president to have reached the rest of the world through television, For President retraces the history of the different election campaigns,...
Scopri di piùCurated by Gail Cochrane e Flaminio Gualdoni. 30 works by 16 authors document the results of artistic research in England in the last decades, and constitute a part of Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo's collection.

Today, artists are going back to textile and its multiple historical, political, social and symbolic meanings—a rich semantic texture, which unfolds through the exhibition. As a product of human labour, a perfect blend between technique and...
