L’archivio nomade Il Disobedience Archive al Castello di Rivoli (2013)

Abstract

Translate Article

This article re-reads the Disobedience Archive through the notion of threshold at curatorial, institutional, and spatio-temporal levels. It posits the archive-as-device, activated differently by each display, and asks whether Rivoli’s parliamentary layout can turn the museum into a deliberative arena without neutralising dissent. By comparing it with, The Zoetrope (Venice Biennale, 2024), the paper examines how the shift to a spiral reshapes perception while preserving the archive’s nomadic, critical vocation and its genealogical, constellation-based logics.
