TALKS

Enrico Magnani, mostra, chiostri di san domenico, reggio emilia, oro della terra
Enrico Magnani’s artistic research comes to life through a continuous dialogue with leading cultural and scientific institutions worldwide. From conferences at CERN in Geneva to presentations at the Genoa Science Festival, from talks at the Italian Cultural Institute in Chicago to contributions at the Gran Sasso National Laboratories, each occasion becomes a crossroads between art, science, and spirituality. This archive documents conferences that have crossed disciplinary boundaries: from mysterious alchemical processes to reflections on the equally enigmatic dark matter; from the role of error and intuition in the creative process to the quest for a harmonious evolution of humanity within the cosmos. Art, science, and spirituality converge in diverse contexts—from scientific symposia to art biennials—demonstrating how intuition and error can become fundamental tools to foster creativity, generate transformation, and introduce new visions into our existence. A journey that connects academies, research centers, and international festivals in a network of unexpected intersections, where knowledge becomes a shared experience.
