Benetton Studi Ricerche Foundation and Imago Mundi Foundation present, from 5 February to 29 May 2022, "TREVISO CONTEMPORANEA", a project that develops from an exhibition platform of three exhibitions in three different locations in the heart of the city of Treviso and which will act with the common theme "MAPPING THE WORLD".

The result of a close collaboration between the two institutions, the three exhibitions will be set up in as many locations in the heart of the city - Ca 'Scarpa, the church of San Teonisto and the Gallerie delle Prigioni - and will act, each according to its own vision and code, at the 'teaches a common theme, that of the very current need to "map the world" in historical and contemporary perception, from the traditional forms of cartographic reading of the terrestrial space to the artistic transcription in the relationship between experience and representation, up to the work of artists and communities from the Australian Aboriginal art world.

We know there is a map and a map. There is a scientifically 'applied' and individually 'perceived' cartography; there are, in essence, cartographers-explorers and cartographers-artists. If we understand the link between reality and representation, as it exists within a work of art, it is clear that what is perceived as immediate is in reality the relationship between experience and means of representation. The fourteen artists of "Temporary Atlas" activate their senses towards themselves, developing the traditional meaning of a map along unconventional paths - those, in fact, of the subconscious, of the body, of thoughts, of the memories that interact in each of us - and presenting an alternative and complementary mapping idea to the projects presented at Ca 'Scarpa and San Teonisto.

The artists on display are Oliver Laric, Jeremy Deller, Paul Maheke, Matt Mullican, James Lewis, Kiki Smith, Walid Raad, Ibrahim Mahama, Otobong Nkanga, Rochelle Goldberg, Seymour Chwast, Enam Gbewonyo, Sanford Biggers and Sarah Entwistle.
