Claudio
Beorchia – Aurale - Brusii per AudioGuide
For three months, the artist had the chance to
create something for the permanent collection of the Accademia: Aurale - Brusii per AudioGuide is about the relationship between visitors and the Museum, investigating the connection that is inevitably created
between the audience and the artistic heritage in each of the rooms of Gallerie dell’Accademia and its
masterpieces. For the occasion, the
artist, incognito, dressed as a room guard, together with the curator Michele Tavola, and with a room guard and a
staff member of the museum gave original performative guided tours following a
path that narrates his special experience at the Museum and offering the public
some excerpts from the script he assembled during the residency.
