Mind the gap<\/em> is a visual contemporary art project organised since 2017 by Altreforme, in collaboration with different cultural institutions and institutional agents of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mind the gap<\/em> is inspired by and dedicated to Franco Basaglia, the Italian psychiatrist who authored the eponymous law (known as Basaglia law or Law 180) and promoted the closing of psychiatric hospitals. Moreover, the project also aims at reinforcing participatory cultural processes over the years and through multiple actions. As Franco Basaglia once affirmed, art and culture can become devices to engage both the places and the interactions these places host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fourth Edition, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The core of the fourth edition of Mind the gap<\/em> is the topic of the limen<\/em>, a border that is not a limit but a threshold. The concept was dear to Basaglia, whose medical and intellectual thought moved across the uncertain borders of psychiatry: a very complex form of knowledge, constantly opening up to theoretical and practical questions, as well as psychiatric, philosophical, social and cultural ones. By embracing the theory of the border, the invited artists question the threshold established at the verge of the question What is an \u2018individual\u2019? What is a \u2018body\u2019?, between nature and culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second Edition, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mind the gap <\/em><\/em>is a project of Christian Fogarolli conceived for Parco Basaglia, the place where in 1961 the homonymous Italian psychiatrist started his own therapeutic (and social) revolution. The title of the exhibition \u2013 a clear pun between the terms \u201cmind\u201d (brain, memory, sanity) and \u201cgap\u201d (discrepancy, breach, difference) \u2013 focuses on diversity as a value worth considering and aims at shedding light on contemporary art as something able to rethink the traditional destination of the places involved and equally able to debunk preconceptions and prejudices that too often still afflict the world of mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
