It is among the most enchanting places in Rome ever and once again hosts one of the most evocative exhibitions of the season. The Cloister of Bramante opens the doors to dreams and brings them together with contemporary art until May 5th: magic, utopia, essence, enchantment and desires take shape in the exhibition Dream. Art meets dreams in an engaging exhibition itinerary that will help the public escape from reality and get in touch with the unconscious and the dreamlike.
Dream is intended in the exhibition project as exploration, knowledge and emotion, but also as an expression of the deepest part of the human being, is the key to accessing the "vast and deep territories of the soul", as explained by the curator of the exhibition Danilo Eccher.
In the fascinating Renaissance architecture of Donato Bramante, the dream becomes an element of reflection and revelation through the poetic languages of the greatest exponents of contemporary art, protagonists of the exhibition Dream. Art meets dreams.
Dreams guide the viewers through a series of stages and passages, stops and restarts: from the confrontation with nature to the identification in the forms, from the evocation of personal and collective memories to the crossing of time, from the sublimation of the shadows to total immersion in the light.
“DREAM. Art meets dreams" completes the trilogy, conceived and curated by Danilo Eccher for the Chiostro del Bramante, which began with "LOVE. Art meets love” (2016) and continued with “ENJOY. Art meets fun"(2017).
Love, fun and dreams have been chosen to express different moods, such as the complexity of sensations related to feelings, the exaltation of the most joyful emotions and the deepest perceptions belonging to the dream.
