Istanbul Modern is hosting a museum talk night from Italy. Eva Fabbris’ “Madre: Stories in Napoli” presentation focuses on the research behind the museum’s exhibitions and programs. Focusing on the cultural role of Naples as a Mediterranean metropolis in the region, these studies provide a multifaceted framework for the museum’s art historical scholarship, highlighting women artists in the last century. The talk also discusses how Madre, with its collection featuring artists such as Francesco Clemente, Mimmo Paladino, Anish Kapoor, Richard Serra, Jannis Kounellis, Rebecca Horn, and Sol LeWitt, engages with the city of Naples, its changing urban landscape, and its inhabitants through public programs.
With a PhD in Humanities, Eva Fabbris has worked in curatorial departments at Fondazione Prada, Galleria Civica di Trento, and Museion in Bolzano. As an independent curator, she has also curated exhibitions at institutions, including Madre. Fabbris holds a teaching position at NABA – Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan, and gives lectures and conversations at various institutions. Furthermore, she also writes for contemporary art publications and serves as an editor for artist monographs including Diego Macron, Alessandro Pezzoli, Yervart Gianikyan and Angela Ricci, and Paul Siestema.
