Taking its cue from the recent release of two new books by the artist, the event will include a screening of <em>Biscotti\u2019s <\/em>film <em>The Trial<\/em> and a panel discussion featuring the artist, publisher and political scientist George Kalambokas and \u0395\u039c\u03a3\u03a4 curator Daphne Vitali, moderated by the museum\u2019s publications advisor Theophilos Tramboulis.<\/p>\n<p>Both the film and the eponymous book are the result of Biscotti\u2019s decade-long research into the prosecution of the Italian leftist group <em>Autonomia Operaia<\/em> [Workers\u2019 Autonomy], a leading member of which was Italian thinker Toni Negri. The trial &#8211; known as the <em>7<sup>th<\/sup> April Case<\/em> &#8211; brought to light the political backdrop of the 1970s leftist movements and the repressive mechanisms employed by European states at the time. As a whole, Biscotti\u2019s <em>The Trial<\/em> proposes a shifting framework for approaching political history and the performative nature of justice; it encompasses installations, sculptures, performances, reading groups, film and printed works.<\/p>\n<p>Biscotti\u2019s second monograph, titled <em>Title One, I Dreamt, Clara and Other Stories<\/em>, was published by Castello di Rivoli, Turin, on the occasion of the artist\u2019s first major retrospective held there in 2024.
