Casa Morra - Archivio d'Arte Contemporanea, Italy |
Casa Morra is a new space created in Naples by Giuseppe Morra at Palazzo Ayerbo D'Aragona Cassano, a complex covering an area of 4,200 m2 that will gradually be refurbished to accommodate the vast Morra collection of over 2,000 works presented along routes dedicated to specific themes and artists. A journey through the history of contemporary art and fundamental movements such as Gutai, Happening, Fluxus, Viennese Actionism, Living Theatre, Visual Poetry, and the most advanced Italian and foreign research. In this way, this Neapolitan patron of the arts’ great adventure continues through time. Casa Morra is clearly not a static space for the exhibition of works but an archive of contemporary art, a dynamic place that stimulates reflection and research on society and its evolution. A “house of ideas” where the past merges into the present and the future, launching a challenge against time with a programme planned for up to 2116. |

Museo Hermann Nitsch, Italy |
The Hermann Nitsch Museum/Archive Laboratory for the Contemporary Arts is located in a former factory built to produce electricity in 1892. Conceived as a space for the documentation and analysis of the philosophical, poetic, and visual themes developed by the great Austrian artist Hermann Nitsch (Vienna 1938), it is a place where the art works (wrecks) from the Aktionen of the Orgien Mysterien Theater take solid form once more in an exploratory journey open to experimentation and the ideal of Gesamtkunstwerk (total art work), where the multiple domains of visual experience synaesthetically converge. The Hermann Nitsch Museum, located in the heart of the lively Pontecorvo district, is the brainchild of Giuseppe Morra, who has been a friend of the Maestro and a patron of his work since the 1970s. By emphasizing these deep anthropological interconnections, the Hermann Nitsch Museum aims to become a diversified space for projects and reflection on the very essence of Art. |

Pianofabriek, Belgium |
The current building was erected in 1898 on behalf of the German Gunther family, a family of piano builders who settled in Brussels in 1845. The pianos Gunther had a big name throughout Europe but also beyond. This by applying a number of technical innovations. They were among the first to produce high-quality pianos with a metal frame, and later through the cross-fitting "cordes croisées" of the strings they obtained a specific sound that made them win various prizes. After the second world war, the name Gunther and the factory were bought by the Vanderelst family, a family of piano tuners.Fortstraat was the factory, the stock site and the point of sale of mainly used pianos. The company was among the largest piano builders and repairers in Europe. In the peak years, more than 100 people worked and more than 100 pianos were sold per month. During the eight years that pianos were made, more than 200 pianos were built each year. The case was abandoned in 1997. |

De Hoorn, Belgium |
De Hoorn is a former brewery in Leuven where in 1926 the beer Stella Artois was invented.The 1923 building was designed with great care for architectural detail, both in the interior and the exterior. Also the structural design was exceptional. A 5 meter high (floor high) Vierendeel structure (invented by the local Professor Vierendeel at the University of Leuven) was used to create a 20m wide free span in the main brewing hall underneath. Moreover, that same structure had to carry the load of all the materials in the silos above the main brewing hall. It was one of the first uses of this engineering principle within a building (Vierendeel Beam structures are mostly used in bridges). The building was heavily damaged during the bombardments of the Second World War and the original ‘Garret’ roof structure and the glazing were replaced by a more industrial architecture. It served as a brewery until the early ’80. |

San Sebastiano Monte dei Morti Living Lab, Italy |
The church of San Sebastiano del Monte dei Morti, is located in Salerno, in Largo Plebiscito, in the historic center, within the ancient walls that opened there in the Porta Rotese. This church was originally dedicated to the Saints Martyrs Sebastiano, Cosma and Damiano, and the oldest information regarding it dates back to 994, when the presence of the church was mentioned and identified along the Rafastia stream, now known as Cernicchiara. A very suggestive hypothesis is that of Monsignor Arturo Carucci, according to which the church would have the features of an early Christian baptistery, highlighting some impressive analogies with the sanctuary of the Gianicolo in Rome and with the Baptistery of Sala Consilina dated to the fifth century. These fascinating considerations highlight some details of the church that would highlight its function as a place where the neophytes were baptized; among these, a room below the church, about 2 meters deep which was later used as a burial.
