The Dark Side is a project that solicits the public on the 'dark
side' that is in each of us, which manifests itself in ancestral
fears such as the fear of the dark ( to which this first volume is
dedicated), the fear of loneliness, the fear of time. These fears
require a pause, a reflection: they destabilise, but at the same
time ignite new possibilities, new thoughts, new perspectives. This
volume Who's Afraid of the Dark? investigates the theme of physical
and metaphorical darkness, and consequently the relationship with
its opposite, light. It includes works ranging from installations,
multi-sensory experiences, mixed media and large scale-works from
13 of the most important international artists such as Gregor
Schneider, Robert Longo, Hermann Nitsch, Tony Oursler, Christian
Boltanski, James Lee Byars up to the new protagonists of the
contemporary art scene such as Monster Chetwind, Sheela Gowda,
Shiota Chiharu and, among Italian artists, Gino De Dominicis,
Gianni Dessi, Flavio Favelli, Monica Bonvicini. The artistic
perspective is countered with the interventions by theologian
Gianfranco Ravasi, physicist-theorist Mario Rasetti, psychiatrist
Eugenio Borgna and philosopher Federico Vercellone, who offer a
polyphonic look of great intellectual interest on this theme. The
Dark Side project inaugurates Musja, a new museum in the city of
Rome, which is proposed as a reference for the most innovative
trends in the contemporary art scene. Text in English and Italian.
