Melancholy and vanity, the ironic game of identity and the politics of autobiography, the existencial reflection and the body as a sculpture, effigy or fragment and its symbolic representation: it opens on sunday April 8 at Punta della Dogana "Dancing with myself" a collective exhibition that inspects the primordial importance of the self representation in the artistic production from the 70ies until now and the role of the artist as protagonist or object itself of the work. Photography, video, painting, sculpture, installations, which narrate culture and origin, generations and experiences of artists with different art inclinations.
