From October, GAMeC’s Spazio ParolaImmagine will host a series of conferences dedicated to the founding themes of the exhibition “Black Hole” and will bring to the table leading figures from scientific and artistic scenarios.

A new cycle of Public Program is also planned, with its platform of meetings open to the public and the result of a joint venture between Bergamo’s GAMeC and the Accademia di Belle Arti G. Carrara. After trying out the “artist talk” format for the Black Hole. Art and  Materiality from Informal to Invisible  exhibition, the project will become interdisciplinary to reflect an across-the-board approach to the theme of matter and the relationship between science and the visual arts.
