The exhibition “between breath and fire”, curated by Karol Winiarczyk, celebrates the fascination of Marina Abramović for the Opera, and particularly her passion for Maria Callas, that is manifested in Seven Deaths: an immersive cinematic experience that explores seven untimely demises Abramović undergoes on screen, set to Maria Callas’s solos. gres art 671 combines beauty and social impact, developing sustainable models that promote collective well-being. A place to go, to discover, to experiment, to stay, born with an ambitious urban regeneration project promoted by Gruppo Italmobiliare and Fondazione Pesenti Ets.

Seven Deaths is an immersive cinematic experience based on seven untimely demises that Abramović undergoes on screen, set to the soundtrack of seven solos by Maria Callas. It continues Abramović’s fascination with opera and Callas in particular, a passion that began in her teenage years in Belgrade. This immersive journey through the life of one of the most influential performance artists of our time, paired with the soundtrack of Maria Callas most famous arias, offers a profound and existential experience.

Karol Winiarczyk, curator

Siamo entusiasti di inaugurare gres art 671, nella sua forma definitiva, con Marina Abramović, artista di fama mondiale che ha sempre posto l'osservatore al centro delle proprie opere e della propria arte. Il nostro polo culturale è nato proprio con l’ambizione di coinvolgere quanto più possibile i visitatori, facendoli interagire con lo spazio e le opere, rendendoli parte attiva del percorso. Dopo la preview in occasione della Capitale Italiana della Cultura 2023, ospitare ora "between breath and fire" significa aspirare ad avere, in un’unica prospettiva, la visione di un’artista straordinaria con la missione di un luogo culturale, un connubio perfetto che ci onora e che certamente saprà suscitare grandi emozioni.
