Tomorrow at 7:45 PM, the glass façade of the
Museion will become the backdrop for a musical event and performance featuring Nico Vascellari and Z’ev, an American poet and musician who has been a pioneering figure in industrial music. Vascellari’s spontaneity, physical energy and voice will encounter the American performer’s dark, metallic percussions. Following this, there will be a concert by French jazz musician Médéric Collignon.
The evening will also offer the perfect setting for the presentation of a new monograph on Nico Vascellari, published by Mousse for the artist’s exhibition in Bolzano: 150 pages long, with hundreds of photos that capture the spirit of his cathartic performances—from Cuckoo to Gnawing My Own Teeth Behind A Closed Door—the intense hardcore concerts of his band, Lago Morto, and his sculptures and collages, as well as the places and objects that have inspired him, it winds up with a photographic catalogue that is a selection of covers from his extraordinary collection of record albums. The catalogue includes texts by Letizia Ragaglia and Andrea Lissoni in Italian, German, and English.
