MATTA + RISSA

  • 6 Via Privata Giacomo Favretto Milano, Lombardia, 20146 Italy (map)

Let’s start from a simple premise: agreement is not necessary.
In fact, it’s often sterile.
True confrontation also arises from clash.
Opposition is an active form of presence.
Nothing completes or confirms the other: it contradicts, interrupts, throws into crisis.
Coexistence is friction, not balance.

In a context that favors coherence, clarity, and adherence to recognizable codes, here we claim noise, contradiction, the irreconcilable.
There is no search for synthesis — conflict is exposed as possibility.
Sound and image are not meant to reassure, but to disturb, to force a stance.

RISSA is not trying to please everyone.
Here, divergence is not a fracture to be repaired, but a tension to inhabit.


The project is born in collaboration with RISSA and draws on the concept of dissonance as both engine and critical tool: a driving force that does not seek harmony, but shock, deviation, collision. Starting from noise and experimental practices — both musical and visual — the exhibition seeks tensions and frictions that can generate new forms, ideas, and relationships. The title itself alludes to a fertile clash, a state of alert from which unexpected possibilities emerge.

The three live concerts are curated by RISSA, a collective that has been organizing wild shows since 2018 — itinerant gatherings where minds and bodies come together to do what one does in a rissa (brawl): sweat and throw punches.
