The rules of the game, as the players are well aware, are a serious business. Presented as a three-day performative segment of Open Museum Open City, the project includes a series of artists invited to reinvent the meaning of highly popular games such as chess, football, and bocce ball, creating new guidelines and instructions that diverge from the familiar ones. Exercises in Revolution explores the idea of discipline as the rules governing coexistence between different individuals and probes its deeper meaning, trying to move past it. It is an operation aimed at training the body and mind; it is meant to develop critical skills and implement new ways of building relationships, to offer new possibilities of coexistence. Changing the rules of the game, as players are well aware, is a serious move.
