SUMMARY:Ai Weiwei: Aftershock
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition showcasing Ai Weiwei’s five-decade career\, from works created in New York in the 80s to new sculptures created in Ukraine in 2025.\nThe exhibition is arranged as a dialogue between the artist and Palazzo Ardinghelli. The show features a series of powerful works created after the 2008 earthquake in Sichuan and dedicated to the memory of its losses. One of these works is Straight\, a seminal piece for Ai Weiwei that is being shown in L’Aquila for the first time in three different spaces. This sculpture\, like the other works in the exhibition\, underscores the lasting impact of natural catastrophes and human-generated conflicts\, highlighting themes such as corruption and tragedy. It celebrates human resilience and the power of the drive to create. \nOn display are almost seventy works\, some of them displayed for the first time in a museum\, spanning Weiwei’s entire artistic career: installations\, videos\, photographs\, sculptures conceived as paintings and iconic subjects by artists like Munch\, Van Gogh and Ed Ruscha re-interpreted using toy bricks. \nHe experiments\, connects\, collects\, recycles and invents in a way that is never just a pure exercise in form. Through variety and the subversion of traditional values\, he encourages us to look at the world from different points of view. Weiwei’s work is rooted in his personal experience\, yet its significance is universal. \n \nheader: stills from the music video Dumbass\, 2013\, 5min 13 sec\, cinematography by Christopher Doyle\, Courtesy of Ai Weiwei Studio

SUMMARY:The School of Narrative Dance
DESCRIPTION:A collective ritual that transforms the city into a widespread stage\, capable of restoring an active role to the collectivity in the construction of meaning\, identity and community.\nThe performance began as a travelling storytelling school\, based on emancipation\, inclusion and self-education. Its development was accompanied by extensive research in the local area\, placing the social fabric at the centre of the project. \nWith this work\, Marinella Senatore reflects on the concept of the work of art as a participatory form of expression\, capable of influencing the character of the local area and the social dynamics that shape it. \nIn collaboration with the Municipality of L’Aquila for L’Aquila Italian Capital of Culture 2026.

SUMMARY:Convergenze e continuità
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition that goes beyond the borders of Palazzo Ardinghelli to tell a story of architecture\, cities and transformations.\nHoused in the newly restored spaces of Palazzo ONMI\, a former nursery school on Viale Duca degli Abruzzi and a testament to public building in the 30s\, the exhibition begins in that decade and develops a continuous narrative of the urban landscape of Abruzzo. \nThe itinerary takes visitors through the transformations of cities\, following the key stages in the growth and redefinition of urban space. Architecture\, emblematic episodes and dialogues with artistic production reflect the evolution of modern language in Abruzzo up to the 1960s\, offering an overview of the forms and ideas that have shaped the region. \nIn collaboration with the Municipality of L’Aquila – Restart Programme L’Aquila Italian Capital of Culture 2026.

SUMMARY:Fabio Mauri
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition marked by an influential curatorial signature paying tribute to Fabio Mauri\, a central figure in Italian art and thought in the twentieth century\, on the centenary of his birth.\nThe exhibition traces the twenty years between 1979 and 1999\, when Mauri taught Aesthetics of Experimentation at the Academy of Fine Arts in L’Aquila. The works conceived and staged during those years are the heart of the exhibition and highlight the link between his artistic research\, the city and its inhabitants. \nOn the centenary of his birth (1926–2009)\, the exhibition offers an opportunity to explore a fundamental chapter in the artist’s career. \nheader: Fabio Mauri\, 2000.
