On Sunday, June 5, 2022 Yona Friedman, the first Honorary President of the No Man’s Land Foundation, would have turned 99, entering his centenary. To celebrate his birthday the Foundation has organized a day dedicated to him, with a rich programme of events hosted in its venue in the woods of Contrada Rotacesta, in Loreto Aprutino, streamed live on radioartemobile.it at 3:30pm local time.
In the Jam Session in words and sounds for Yona Friedman there will be, in presence or via “pills” from around the world, brief interventions by artists, musicians, curators, philosophers and scientists to send a greeting to Yona into the universe with contributions by Marianne Friedman Polonsky, Alvin Curran, Evelyne Jouanno, H.U. Obrist, Hou Hanru, Cecilia Casorati and many others.
The same day at No Man’s Land Foundation the pre-existing model of the Rifugio di tutti (2019) by Yona Friedman with Jean-Baptiste Decavèle will be expanded in La Cité des Refugiés.
Coming down from Belgium for the occasion will be the car of the artist Honoré d’O, transformed into a vehicle for art and driven by the artist himself from Gent to Loreto Aprutino. Having comfortably exceeded 500,000 km, the artist decided to turn it into an instrument of sharing at the disposal of the community, thus becoming No Man’s Car.
The day will also be the occasion to present in public the piece My Private Moon by Leonid Tishkov, produced by Zerynthia years ago and now installed permanently at the No Man’s Land Foundation.
No Man’s Land Foundation already hosts permanent installations by Yona Friedman with Jean-Baptiste Decavèle (2016 and 2019), of Alvin Curran (2017), of Jimmie Durham (2019), of Alberto Garutti and of Donatella Spaziani (2020), and of Fabrice Hyber (2021). Entrance to the Foundation, which is celebrating its first five years of activity, is free, day and night all year round.
