'Tear' by Mary Mattingly

The work “Lacrima” (“Tear”) ideally measures the weather, particularly of the Dolomites and the Marmolada glacier.

It is a slow performance that invites us to reflect on the waters of our glaciers that are melting, on the land that holds this precious resource, on the aquifers that hold it in the soil and over time, on the importance of ancient traditions that guard the relationship with water.

It is also a participatory performance involving the artist Mary Mattingly, creator of the work, and the participants in the workshop "A Vase for Mary", as part of the NxT – Formazione e Trasformazione  project and the museum's creative platform investigating the most pressing environmental issues "We Are the Flood | We are the Flood".

 

 

The NxT programme is supported by Lavazza Group, Sustainability Partner of the MUSE, and Acqua Levico, Special Sponsor.

Muse - Science Museum

The Renzo Piano-designed project puts Trento on the international map. Far more than a science museum, this is a bold statement of intent. Expect a major visitor attraction, a multimedia experience and a beacon of scientific excellence. The exhibitions favour a hands-on approach to science, at once educational but engaging. Inaugurated in 2013, the museum explores the relationship between nature, science and society and also considers the impact of science on everyday life.
