campo aperto

CAMPO APERTO is the site specific biennial exhibition project dedicated to contemporary cultures and disciplines at Campo XS in Genova, conceived as a laboratory for artistic and social practices. CAMPO APERTO refers to the act of going beyond, of opening the Field to new perspectives, opening the Field of possibilities, opening the Field of research, opening to the street and the square, and to the neighborhood context in which the space is located. The exhibition project opens the space to new narratives through site-specific projects of transdisciplinary creative practices that take into account the delicate context of the neighborhood where the space is located.

Campo Aperto’s program consists of exhibitions, performances, and talks that focus on the interactive involvement of the community around Via del Campo, or even just the visitors passing through. The goal is to establish a connection between interdisciplinary practices and the neighborhood’s characteristics, making culture accessible to everyone and featuring exhibitions by artists and curators of various nationalities.

For the second edition of the biennial exhibition project, Campo XS will host two years of four exhibition events, each lasting 60 days: the first from October 2026 to July 2027, and the second from October 2027 to July 2028.
