Lauren Hinkson: Benvenuti alla mostra "Jenny Holzer: Linea di luce". Sono Lauren Hinkson, curatrice associata per le Collezioni qui al Guggenheim.

Da oltre quarant'anni l'artista concettuale americana Jenny Holzer presenta le sue idee taglienti, le sue motivazioni e le sue preoccupazioni in spazi pubblici e mostre internazionali. Lo fa attraverso il linguaggio. Che si tratti di targhe, manifesti o preservativi, l'incisiva attività testuale di Holzer si affida al potere esplosivo della parola scritta. Le opere toccano alcune delle questioni e dei temi più scottanti del nostro tempo, dalla giustizia climatica ai diritti delle donne, dalla guerra alla corruzione. Holzer è una voce vitale sia nell’arte, sia nell’attivismo.

A partire dagli anni Settanta con una serie di manifesti in giro per la città di New York fino ad arrivare alle recenti proiezioni luminose su paesaggi e architetture, la ricerca di Holzer ha sfidato l'ignoranza e la violenza con l'umorismo, la gentilezza e il coraggio. Per "Linea di luce" Holzer ha immaginato l'installazione di opere prodotte durante tutta la sua carriera come un progetto concettuale unico: un'installazione olistica che si rifà - rispecchiandole - alle preoccupazioni sulla società, sulla politica e sulla fatica di vivere che hanno caratterizzato la sua attività.

Procedendo all'interno del museo, vedrete e resterete colpiti dal monumentale display a LED che sale su tutte e sei le rampe della rotonda progettata da Frank Lloyd Wright fino all'apice dell'edificio. L'opera s'intitola "Installazione per il museo Solomon R. Guggenheim". È un'opera da collezione di proprietà del Guggenheim. Si tratta di una rivisitazione dell'insegna a LED di Holzer del 1989, esposta qui ben trentacinque anni fa. 

La nuova versione dell'insegna elettronica di Holzer trasforma l'edificio con un display di testi scorrevoli che l'artista ha scritto nel corso della sua carriera. Si tratta di un'opera ironica e allo stesso tempo profonda, con frasi iconiche tratte dai suoi primi lavori, come "You Are the Victim of the Rules You Live By" cioè "sei vittima delle tue stesse regole", "Private Property Created Crime" ovvero "la proprietà privata genera la criminalità" e "Abuse of Power Comes as No Surprise", cioè "l'abuso di potere non è una novità".

I testi e i temi dell'insegna a LED ritornano anche in altre opere esposte in "Linea di luce", avvalorando le corrispondenze nella ricerca concettuale di Holzer attraverso il tempo e il mezzo espressivo. Sono presenti anche opere recenti che riprendono testi di poeti, politici, attivisti e personaggi letterari, oltre a fonti come dossier governativi e file dell'FBI secretati. Nella mostra, questi elementi assumono nuove forme, ad esempio proiezioni luminose sull'edificio e dipinti in foglia d'oro.

Sono messaggi che fanno pensare e che, nella speranza dell'artista, dovrebbero affinare la consapevolezza delle persone sulle connotazioni politico-sociali che affliggono la nostra epoca. Sono messaggi pensati non tanto per essere letti, ma piuttosto per essere ascoltati.

With its unique history filled with both triumphs and dark chapters, public health researchers and professionals have an ethical responsibility to examine the past as they aspire to shape the future of public health by conducting effective and ethical health-related research and work today.

In this episode, Shivani interviews the esteemed ethicist and historian of Public Health, Dr. Laura Bothwell, who discusses how the history of public health has influenced the present. In this informative conversation, Dr. Bothwell sheds light on the weight of history, and discusses the structural obligation that health professionals have to address inequities and institutional biases and their contribution to many of the public health challenges we face today.

Here are some links with more reading related to Dr. Bothwell’s research:

The manifestos are in! And, perhaps unsurprisingly, the two main parties have caused the least stir. Reform UK’s ‘contract’ has been denounced by commentators and think tanks alike as ‘uncosted’, while the SDP’s manifesto was praised for standing out as an unusually comprehensive list of ideas in a sea of general obfuscation. Meanwhile, both Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer have been battling it out for who had the most-hard-done-by childhood, with rows about Sky News and toolmakers providing some comedic relief for the electorate in what has otherwise been a rather depressing three weeks of campaigning. From Tory implosions to Labour infighting, Emmanuel Macron’s shock election announcement to the rumblings of a Reform challenge, we cover it all in this latest podcast.

This new audio edition of Ian McEwan’s beloved modern classic is narrated by Olivier Award winner and Emmy nominee Harriet Walter, who starred as Emily Tallis in the Academy Award-winning film adaptation of Atonement. Her recent credits range from The Crown to Succession and Ted Lasso.

On the hottest day of the summer of 1935, thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis sees her sister Cecilia plunge naked into the fountain in the garden of their country house.

Watching her too is Robbie Turner who, like Cecilia, has recently come down from Cambridge. By the end of that day, the lives of all three will have been changed for ever.

Robbie and Cecilia will have crossed a boundary they had not even imagined at its start. Briony will have witnessed mysteries, and committed a crime for which she will spend the rest of her life trying to atone.
