Undersea

The first phase (September 2018) sets itself as a catalyst of young creative energies with the ephemeral exhibition Undersea | A Panorama of Endless Change which, by disseminating knowledge on large cetaceans and on the sustainability of seas, will open the museum to a broader public.

Drawing inspiration from the words of Rachel Carson (1907-64), an American scientist and writer of some of the most imaginative texts on the marvelous mysteries of marine ecosystems, this phase sees the collaboration of the Tethys Institute which has been researching for thirty years, safeguarding and raising awareness on the issue of ecosustainability of the seas with research expeditions in the Pelagos Sanctuary, the reserve of large cetaceans in the northern Mediterranean Sea.

Thanks to the collaboration with the Tethys Institute, three expeditions will welcome three artists for a residency experience in dialogue with marine biologists during which they will produce artistic research projects in the fields of Sound Art, Performance Art and Visual Arts.

The research projects developed by the artists, also thanks to the archival materials of the Tethys Institute, will be presented at the museum on 13 December 2018, on a celebratory day open to the public during which all the results of the three phases will be disseminated.
