The final event in the screening series features a project in collaboration with two important institutions dedicated to emerging contemporary art: Careof and Viafarini of Milan. The September program is curated by Martina Angelotti (artistic director of Careof) and Simone Frangi (artistic director of Viafarini). Sleep and hypnosis are at the center of the program proposed by the curators. Through the work of four artists from different generations and backgrounds, these states of unconsciousness—and in particular post-hypnosis—are explored for their discursive and political potential, their physiological and social dynamics, and from a poetic perspective. Alongside the two most recent works by Danilo Correale and Basma Alsharif are two historical pieces by Robert Breer and Paolo Gioli.

Posthypnotic is part of the broader Intermezzo program curated by Frida Carazzato for Media Façade 2015 at Museion, which each year invites international artists to engage with the museum’s façade.
