For the first exhibition of Danish artists Nina Beier and Marie Lund in Italy, Nomas Foundation presents a programme taking place in three different venues.
Drawing on the history inherent in pre-existing materials or contexts, Beier and Lund’s work ranges from immaterial interventions and performances to concrete objects. Over the past year their work has increasingly tended to unfold in the realm between conception, perception, and interpretation.
At Nomas Foundation the films Les Sabots (2007) and the unreleased The Testimony (2009) recount through the voices of two generations the failure of political ideals and utopia.
For The Making of Difference (2008-2009) a group of former activists meets for the first time after ten years from the end of an important experience of political engagement at a table of the famous Caffè Greco, on the 12 December, at 4.30 pm.
Finally, MACRO Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Roma hosts on three occasions - 12 December, 23 January and 6 February at 12pm - Nina Beier’s The Complete Works (2009), in which a dancer in an advanced stage of her career repeats by memory the choreographies and the movements that she interpreted during her life.
The dispersed and forgotten fragments of a personal as well as of a collective story are retraced and patiently reconfigured by the artists, in the attempt to recollect memories and critically rethink our relation with the real and with the present times.

Nina Beier’s and Marie Lund’s catalogue for the library Nomas Notes, published by NERO and edited by Cecilia Canziani and Ilaria Gianni, will be presented in conjunction with the exhibition.
