On 27 February at 18:00, curators Giuseppe Morra and Massimo Maiorino will open the exhibition “Gesamtkunstwerk. Das Laboratorium der Sinne” at the Museo Nitsch in Naples!

For the first time, the exhibition reassembles a fundamental nucleus of the museum’s collection within its full conceptual and perceptual unity. It does so through a newly conceived installation structured as a Laboratory of the Senses: an immersive and process-based environment in which the artwork is not presented as a completed object but as an active device, capable of engaging visitors in a total aesthetic experience. In keeping with the idea of Gesamtkunstwerk, the museum becomes a living organism in which painting, action-objects, sound, space, time and corporeality converge to generate an intensified perception of reality, reaffirming Hermann Nitsch’s vision of the artwork as a radical extension of life.

The exhibition will be on display in Naples until July 31, 2026.
