Re-Materialization of Language – 1978-2022

La première tentative de reconstruction / recontextualisation de l'exposition phare Materializzazione del linguaggio, organisée par Mirella Bentivoglio en 1978 et consacrée aux explorations verbo-visuelles de 80 femmes artistes internationales, ayant marqué une réintégration tardive des pratiques artistiques féminines et féministes au sein d'une édition de la Biennale de Venise qui n'était pas encore pleinement consciente de leur importance.

Re-Materialization of Language. 1978–2022 represents the first attempt at a philological reconstruction of the seminal exhibition Materializzazione del linguaggio, while simultaneously re-activating and re-contextualizing its historical themes in the present.
Long overlooked, the 1978 exhibition, curated by Mirella Bentivoglio and dedicated to the verbo-visual explorations of eighty international women artists across diverse materials and practices, both individual and collective, marked a belated reintegration of women's and feminist art practices within an edition of the Biennale di Venezia that was not yet fully aware of their significance.
Now recognized, after a long period of oblivion, as a turning point in the institutional emergence of women's creativity and feminist art, Materializzazione del linguaggio was re-presented as a new exhibition in 2022, on the centenary of Bentivoglio's birth, at Fondazione Antonio Dalle Nogare in Bolzano, and is now re-materialized in this publication.
Featuring visual and textual contributions from curators and editors Cristiana Perrella, Andrea Viliani, and Vittoria Pavesi; artists Tomaso Binga, Monica Bonvicini, BRACHA, and Nora Turato, who were invited to re-activate the exhibition; exhibition designer Matilde Cassani; book designer Irma Boom; and graphic designers from Studio Mut, this publication, like the exhibition, navigates between bi- and tri-dimensionality, blurring the distinction between artwork and document, between museum and archive.
Designed by Irma Boom Office, the publication also includes a photographic foldout showcasing the works presented in the 2022 exhibition at Fondazione Antonio Dalle Nogare in Bolzano.
