ART AND COMMUNICATION: LET’S GIVE THE FLOOR TO THE THYSSEN-BORNEMISZA MUSEUM

This interview with Elena Benarroch Vila, marketing manager at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, marks the beginning of a series of appointments dedicated to the theme Art and communication, aimed at examining the relationship that institutions dealing with culture have with their public.

I tried to understand which role social media play in promoting the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, and what Elena Benarroch Vila told me is an innovative vision towards new technologies, which are useful for the museum to attract new visitors, but they are also a powerful tool encouraging the dissemination of culture.

FINAL PORTRAIT: A MOVIE ABOUT ALBERTO GIACOMETTI

Final portrait is the new movie directed by Stanley Tucci, who was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in “The Lovely Bones” (2009), and is known for his unforgettable performance as “Nigel” in “The Devil wears Prada”.

For his fifth film as a director, Stanley Tucci has chosen to provide a portrait of the artist Alberto Giacometti, drawing inspiration from the book written by the American art critic James Lord, who described 5 weeks he spent in 1964 together with the artist.

The role of Alberto Giacometti is played by Geoffrey Rush (Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performance in “Shine” in 1997), who steps into the shoes of the artist as if it was the most natural thing in the world; indeed, it feels like he has always been Giacometti, because there’s a close resemblance between the actor and the character he plays.
