MEDIMEX runs a double marathon.
The 2022 edition of MEDIMEX takes place in two cities: Taranto and Bari, five years after the 2017 edition. In Taranto the programme is spread across 5 venues: Teatro Fusco, Rotonda del Lungomare, Castello Aragonese, MArTA (National Archaeological Museum of Taranto) and Spazioporto. All from 16 to 19 June.
At MArTA, the exhibition “Hipgnosis Studio: Pink Floyd and Beyond” is hosted in the spaces of the permanent collection. The work of the Hipgnosis design studio, such as the iconic Pink Floyd covers, enters into dialogue with the finds of Magna Graecia. Also on show are works by Aubrey Powell and Storm Thorgerson for Led Zeppelin, Peter Gabriel, Genesis and the Rolling Stones.
MArTA and the Teatro Fusco host 3 Incontri d’Autore (Meet the Author) with Aubrey Powell, Ditonellapiaga and Warren Ellis, and 3 special events: “Calibro 35, ascoltando il Maestro”; “Abbi un occhio di riguardo”, a tribute to Ivan Graziani 25 years after his death, with Filippo Graziani and Federico Poggipollini; and “I Pink Floyd, dalle porte dell’alba al muro”, told by Carlo Massarini (with a video mapping of the same name on the façade of the Castello Aragonese).
Spazioporto hosts a book presentation and a live set by Cristiano Cosa, Marina De Sario, Roberta Russo, Donatella Spinelli and Giannicola Speranza. These artists, all under 30, perform live after taking part in the training programme FAME, Innovative model for Young Artists Cross Border Laboratory.
On the Rotonda del Lungomare, the concert by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds brings MEDIMEX fully back to live music.
