The event is also the occasion to see the group show On Love, on view within the spaces of Villa Maraini.

SPEAKING NEARBY is a concertation of theoretical postures and artistic gestures staged across the various spaces of Villa Maraini throughout the extended time of a long afternoon into the night. The title, borrowed from a conversation with the filmmaker, composer, and theorist Trinh T. Minh-ha, implies an indirect mode of speaking to allow other voices to be heard, to operate artistically in order to make space, and to engage in an intra-action with bodies, sounds, and other matters. Intended as an operational framework to explore an expanded notion of proximity, the researchers and artists in a 10-month residency at Istituto Svizzero present punctual emergences of their researches, revealing how ideas and things navigate through different protocols of encounters, the attunements with certain environments, the orientations connected with their own positioning, and the transformations that resonate within situated processes, enabling something to happen.
