XNL Piacenza is proposing a multidisciplinary project for spring 2026. The building will host an exhibition entitled “Oltre le nuvole/Beyond the clouds”, involving the visual arts, music and theatre.
From 2 April to 5 July 2026, a journey through site-specific installations, paintings, film images and sculptures explores the theme of clouds in their visual and symbolic dimensions. Works by 18 artists, including Piero Manzoni, Mario Schifano and Alfred Stiegliz, engage in dialogue with each other.
The works weave relationships between themselves and with the sounds diffused through a multi-channel audio system. In this case, the work is choral, created in collaboration with the Nicolini Conservatory of Piacenza. Among the compositions is an experimental audio installation by composer S. Ali Hosseini.
An in-depth exploration of the exhibition's theme is offered by the XNL FareTeatro review entitled “Delle nuvole o dell'identità” (Of Clouds or Identity) . The events, which are free of charge upon reservation, are:
