The meeting. On Thursday 5 March, at 6.30 pm at the Borarium in Opicina, Via Nazionale, 49, the Bora Museum will host the conference “What remains of infinity? - Exercises in amplitude with air and sky”.
Francesco Pedrini will present the audiovisual work created during his artist residency in San Severino Lucano, in the Pollino National Park, with the involvement of the town's inhabitants. It is a very simple video, consisting exclusively of landscape and the sounds/silence of nature. It is interpreted by a curious orchestra busy preparing for a mysterious event that will only be revealed at the end.
The artist. Francesco Pedrini was born in Bergamo in 1973. He graduated from the G. Carrara Academy of Fine Arts in Bergamo. He obtained a master's degree from the IUAV in Venice in visual arts production and design. His artistic research is accompanied by a long and continuous institutional and teaching career. Until 2024, he was director of the Academy of Fine Arts in Bergamo, where he has taught drawing since 2008 and painting since 2020. He has exhibited in museums, foundations and galleries in Italy and abroad, participating in biennials, institutional exhibitions and international projects. In 2025, he created the permanent work “Magnitudo” for GAMeC as part of the “Pensare come una Montagna” project in Roncobello and exhibited “Oracle” at the Fondazione Galleria Milano. In 2024, he presented “Discurso alrededor del viento” at the Italian Cultural Institute in Mexico City and was invited to exhibitions in Athens and Poznań. His work has been included in landmark exhibitions on contemporary drawing and artistic research.
The event is the result of a collaboration between the Museo della Bora and ArtePollino, one of Italy's most innovative and original art and nature experiences.
“Università del Vento” (University of the Wind) is a new cultural programme on the local and national scene. Wind can be meteorology, creative, artistic or literary inspiration, but also a metaphor, serious or playful. Hence the idea of organising meetings with a programme as free as the wind, but consistent with the desire to show beautiful things and tell interesting stories. Just like that of Francesco Pedrini!
