Inauguration of new cycle of works and talk with artist-in-residence Hugo Kanyingu Kabeya
The new cycle of works created by the artist during his residency will be presented to the public during a talk at the former mercury foundry Topilnica Hg, now an important museum centre for the study and knowledge of the uniqueness of this liquid metal.
With an open and sensitive approach to listening, which characterises his practice, Hugo Kabeya will involve the public in a dialogue on his personal process of artistic reinterpretation of the mining legacy of the site, also the result of the material experiments he carried out during his stay in Idria, with the valuable support of the ID20 association and the Center for Mercury Heritage.
An opportunity to meet and reflect on the capacity of contemporary art to bring to the surface, by reinterpreting them, the historical and geographical stratifications of a place.
The activity is free and open to all, booking required: prenotazioni@iodeposito.org
The project is funded by the European Union under the Small Projects Fund GO! 2025 of the Interreg VI-A Italy-Slovenia Programme 2021-2027, managed by the EGTC GO.
