GAME
FOTO / INDUSTRIA 2023
With GAME, the 2023 biennale of Foto/Industria is dedicated to the theme of the ‘game’.
Photography that documents industry and work, the basis of each edition of Foto/Industria, this year explores the production of objects and devices that fall within a vast and solid sector that has been able to reinvent itself over time to meet changes in taste and habits, and is always extremely receptive to technological innovation. From children’s games to amusement parks, from role-playing games to video games, the games sector has grown to unprecedented proportions, incorporating themes that are extraordinarily relevant and topical.
The twelve Foto/Industria exhibitions – eleven solo exhibits and one group show offering the perspectives and research of international artists – are also opportunities to examine more closely some specific aspects of the relationship between games and industry, investigating the implications and repercussions in the fields of psychology, architecture, economics, history, ecology, politics, and even the deepest drives of the human soul.
The ‘game’ is the central theme of an itinerary that guides visitors on an exploration of the many facets of an activity that every man and woman, at any age and in any place, has taken part in. The exhibition takes visitors through the labyrinth of an authentic wonderland that is more than something to merely look at, but inevitably involves all of us.
FONDAZIONE
MAST
An international non-profit organization associated with the Coesia industrial group and conceived as a bridge between the company and the community, the Fondazione MAST was set up in 2013 with the aim of sharing its cultural mission with the city. A multifunctional laboratory in which to experiment with new models of company welfare, MAST is a place for sharing and collaborating that hosts various activities open to the city. The PhotoGallery, with a programme of temporary exhibitions dedicated to industrial and work photography is the only exhibition space in the world devoted to images focused on work. A double anniversary is celebrated in 2023: 100 years of the G.D Company and 10 years of Fondazione MAST. “Making work a culture and culture a work”: these are the words that bind the two organisations together. They represent the innovative and inclusive space created to promote thought on the topic of work as well as the consolidated corporate culture of the company. Albeit their different functions and identities, G.D and Fondazione MAST are deeply connected by an underlying idea: work and culture as founding elements of our society and everyone’s life, mutually fostering one another in a continued and productive exchange.
