MUSEOTEO+ participates in the 21st edition of Giornata del Contemporaneo (Contemporary Art Day) promoted by Amaci with the exhibition 35 [x 35] which retraces its own history and celebrates thirty-five authors who have crossed it and have helped to set it up. On September 24, 2025, Museo Teo will be thirty-five years old: as an active operational presence in the field of contemporary art since 1990 it has brought together the collective work of artists and cultural operators and has entertained a strong relationship with the territory, with the non-professional public, with forms of art off the traditional circuits, in order to enhance the diffusion of a social culture of images. Museo Teo – a museum without a seat and without works – acts in collective mode cooperating with public bodies, with other cultural institutions, with associations and schools, to stimulate a network of creative interconnections for the development of sociability in antithesis to all forms of artistic and cultural crystallisation. Thus, an overview of its own history is perfectly aligned with the central idea of this project, thanks to a wide multiple process of training guidance including education, research, exchange of experiences and of know-how.
While
abiding by its founding assumptions traditionally based on
the concept of nomadism, it may happen that at least once a year Museo Teo
opens its space to the public, as is the case now. In spite of the
understanding that at the end of exhibitions and initiatives all items will be
returned to their authors, a permanent collection has gathered
over the years; from it and from the ramshackle archive are derived the
materials of this exhibition: historical pieces, ephemera and memorabilia,
rediscovered or unpublished documents and artefacts, new acquisitions, and also
a tribute to the too many friends who are no more.
Finally,
a little homage to Lamonte Young (October 14, 1935) on his first ninety years,
and some casual meetings with selected works from the permanent collection,
together with those by Giovanni Bai, Véronique
Champollion, Carolina Gozzini, Mario Tedeschi and Teo Telloli, which will help
to reconstruct thirty-five years of our “annals.”
