'La vita materiale. Otto stanze, otto storie'

Eight Italian artists united in their use and regeneration of what are often humble materials traditionally associated with crafts. The project by Marina Dacci promotes the work of female artists whose art is skilfully linked to personal experience and to the union of life and art in all its fecundity and complexity. In a relationship built of contact and separation, distances and convergences, these artists focus on the self in the world; they chronicle the regeneration and apperception of materials and objects bringing to life stories and visions that are able to introduce the fantastic into our daily lives. Visitors are invited to discover eight environments, eight habitats, named by their respective creators. 'La vita materiale. Otto stanze, otto storie' is part of  the cultural activities organised by the Foundation and its Consultative Committee in cooperation with the Municipality of Reggio Emilia and the Manodori Foundation. The event forms part of a broad organic project to interconnect the city’s various exhibition venues, including Palazzo da Mosto, Palazzo Magnani and the Chiostri di San Pietro.
