Odissea nell’Arte – Afternoon-Millennium Edition is the special and concluding edition of a three-year course that, from 2019 to 2021, starting from prehistory, brought us to contemporaneity. In this fourth year, the focus goes to the current art scene, to grasp its changing appearance, orient oneself in its coordinates, identify crucial themes, and equip oneself with the ability to grasp new trends, and frame known artists and emerging figures with awareness.
Lecturers for the course are Giovanna Brambilla, Head of Education Department at GAMeC; Manuela Bandini, GAMeC Museum Educator, Architect and professor at the “F. Lussana” Scientific High School; and Silvia Gervasoni, Educator at the Accademia Carrara and professor at the “Paolo Sarpi” Classical High School.
Many are this year’s “Special Guests” called to address complex junctures and issues with wide-ranging interventions: Domenico Quaranta, curator and art critic; Claudia D’Alonzo, curator, art critic and professor at the Accademia di Belle Arti G. Carrara in Bergamo and at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, Milano; Claudio Musso and Fabiola Naldi, curators, art critics and professors at the Accademia di Belle Arti G. Carrara di Bergamo; and Anna Chiara Cimoli, art historian, ABCittà affiliate and researcher in Contemporary Art History at the University of Bergamo.
A visit to the exhibition The Impermanent Collection #3.0 will be organized for the students and students, on a date to be determined.

FOR WHO
Aimed at a wide audience of art-loving adults, interested young people who do not cover this subject in school, teachers eager for a course that can fill a knowledge gap, and retirees with a penchant for this subject, our “Odyssey” is designed like a map, to provide the essential cultural coordinates in the light of which to decipher and deepen one’s passions, to enable one to read the places one passes through, the exhibitions one visits, the works one likes.

The meetings will be held online, on GAMeC’s Zoom platform.
It will also be possible to follow the lectures asynchronously. In that case, the completion of an evaluation questionnaire will allow certification of the hours of attendance of the individual lectures.
