<dd>"The event marks the inauguration of the CCCS -<br>
<dd>Centre For Contemporary Culture Centre La<br>
<dd>Strozzina at the Palazzo Strozzi, a space created<br>
<dd>as a platform for the vast range of practices<br>
<dd>that characterize contemporary art and culture.<br><br>
<dd>"The inaugural installation - Emotional Systems,<br>
<dd>contemporary art between emotion and reason, 30<br>
<dd>November 2007 to 3 February - develops in three<br>
<dd>clearly distinct yet complementary phases: an<br>
<dd>Exhibition, a Publication and a programme of<br>
<dd>Lectures designed to investigate the topic of<br>
<dd>emotions, proposing a reinterpretation of the<br>
<dd>correlation between the contemporary artist, the<br>
<dd>work of art and the user, in the light of the<br>
<dd>latest discoveries in the neurological sciences<br>
<dd>about the human brain and its effects on the<br>
<dd>emotions. ...<br><br>
<dd>"The artists in the exhibition include: Bill Viola<br>
<dd>(USA), William Kentridge (South Africa), Yves<br>
<dd>Netzhammer (Switzerland), Katharina Grosse<br>
<dd>(Germany), Christian Nold (Great Britain),<br>
<dd>Maurice Benayoun (France), Teresa Margolles<br>
<dd>(Mexico) Andrea Ferrara alias Ongakuaw (Italy)<br>
<dd>and the poets Elisa Biagini, Antonella Anedda and<br>
<dd>Valerio Magrelli."<br><br>
<dd>I am a fan of Bill Viola's work. His videos are stunning
expositions of human interaction and reflection.
