24 hours before the demolition of the Ex Guarmet building, which will give rise to a new architectural complex, People in a Building Without the Building is a project conceived as a multiverse collective action, realized through performances, interventions, sound pieces, and DJ sets.

For many years, the Ex Guarmet was an important production site for the construction of molds for costume jewelry. Just months after its closure, the spaces still retain the soul and spirit of a bustling swarm of hands, machines, and tools that once powered this vast work area. This shimmering, precious suggestion of industriousness and ingenuity forms the basis on which People in a Building Without the Building is conceived and structured.

People in a Building Without the Building takes its title from a work by Aldo Giannotti, who uses drawing as a tool to imagine possible interventions and actions involving spaces and people. This iconic suggestion that the drawing and title help us visualize leads us to think of architecture itself as a mobile space, open to interpretation, and a malleable instrument on which to set and build different thoughts and actions.

Just hours before its demolition, the Ex Guarmet building thus becomes the place of action where the representation of space is constantly reconfigured. The interventions by the involved artists together create a choral action, alternating specific languages and practices that, in many cases, the artists have rethought in relation to this place.

From 8 PM on Friday, the 8th, to 8 PM on Saturday, the 9th, the building transforms into a multi-level stage, alternating daily and nightly performances and interventions.
