The exhibition at CLB Collaboratorium Berlin opening on 6 November features the launch of the book “The Body of Energy (of the mind)” by Stefano Cagol, produced by Revolver Publishing.

Supported by VISIT Programme of the RWE Stiftung für Energie und Gesellschaft gGmbH, the exhibition “The Body of Energy (of the mind)” at CLB Collaboratorium Berlin and the MOMENTUM Residency is the culmination of a year-long project the artist has developed as a European expedition from Norway to Gibraltar on search for signs of energy, both physical and cultural energy, triggering a reflection on what is not visible, on resources, on relations. The show spans from the experience of the travelling project, through video, photo and installation, to new artworks created in Berlin.

Stefano Cagol states “Symbols, metaphors, current topics, immediateness, stimulating, communicating, openness, multiple points of view. These are the key words to my relationship with the public. It couldn’t be any other way. The artwork is an opportunity to better understand our own time and future. It’s a sort of mission. In my account art is never closed in itself.”

During the travelling project the artist enacted his symbolic survey of energy using an infrared camera and involving the public, the architecture and the environment. Involved institutions that hosted the project from October 2014 to March 2015 are, among others, Bergen Kunsthall Landmark, Bergen (NO); Museo MA*GA, Gallarate (IT); Museum Folkwang, Essen (DE); Listen to the Sirenes, Gibraltar (UK); Madre, Naples (IT); MAXXI, Rome (IT); Museion, Bozen (IT); Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen (CH); ZKM, Karlsruhe (DE); Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa, Venice (IT).
