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

We are delighted to inaugurate gres art 671 in its final form with Marina Abramović, a world-renowned artist who has always placed the audience at the heart of her work. Our cultural hub was conceived with the ambition of engaging visitors through interactive spaces and artworks, fostering an active role in the artistic experience. Following a preview during the Bergamo Brescia Italian Capital of Culture 2023, hosting "between breath and fire" marks the convergence of an extraordinary artist's vision and a cultural hub's mission. We are proud of this perfect synergy and confident that it will evoke profound emotions.
