Copresented by Dia Art Foundation and Magazzino Italian Art.

This conversation between Teresa Kittler, 2020–21 scholar-in-residence at Magazzino Italian Art in Cold Spring, New York, and Dia’s associate curator Matilde Guidelli-Guidi, will focus on the performative azioni (actions) of Mario and Marisa Merz. Supported by archival material and original research, the discussion will shed light on a lesser-known aspect of the artists’ practice and situate their actions within a broader history of performance.
