Curated by Francesca Nori, ‘Emotional Systems’ combines an exhibition, a publication and a programme of lectures that interprets the subject of ‘emotions’ “in light of the latest discoveries in neurological science regarding the brain and its effects on the emotions”. This exhibition marks the inauguration of the Centro di Cultura Contemporanea - a new space intended to provide a creative platform for contemporary art and culture.

Katharina Grosse in Australasia
In July the Queensland Art Gallery’s Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) will host gallery artist, Katharina Grosse’s first museum based exhibition in the southern hemisphere. For those unable to traverse the Tasman, the public will have access to Grosse’s extraordinary vision in Auckland at Gow Langsford Gallery between the 5-27 July 2007. Both venues will be completely transformed by Grosse’s ambitious site specific interventions; the spaces assaulted with explosions of spray painted hues and invaded by enormous inflatable spheres. Similar projects were undertaken at the Contemporary Arts Centre in Cincinnati which recently concluded in May. Currently on show in the U.S. is Grosse’s installation for the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago which will run until June 10.
