Thursday 14th, Friday 15th, Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th November, Bergamo hosts the ninth edition of the Contemporary Art Festival ArtDate, organized for the first time in autumn and with more than 30 events that will take place in Bergamo. The exhibition The Senseless Body, curated by Stefano Raimondi, will be inaugurated on this occasion at Palazzo della Ragione.

Thanks to a dialogue between the artworks of some of the most important contemporary artists and the frescos in the room, The Senseless Body offers a deep reflection about the body, how its perception has changed and how its classical idea and its presence have been called into question. This research is embodied in the artworks of Vanessa Beecroft, Mariella Bettineschi, Joseph Beuys, Maurizio Cattelan, Elmgreen & Dragset, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Regina José Galindo, Oscar Giaconia, Gilbert & George, Mimmo Jodice, Anish Kapoor, William Kentridge, Barbara Kruger, Eva Marisaldi, Paul McCarthy, Jonathan Monk, Takashi Murakami, Hermann Nitsch, Thomas Schütte, Andres Serrano, Cindy Sherman, Bill Viola and Sislej Xhafa.

The exhibition is organized by The Blank Contemporary Art and it is the result of a cultural agreement with the Municipality of Bergamo aimed at promoting Bergamo as a cultural and artistic place. The exhibition is also made possibile thanks to the support of Regione Lombardia, Fondazione 
UBI Banca Popolare di Bergamo, Fondazione della Comunità Bergamasca, Isocell S.p.A., Dielle Ceramiche S.p.A.
