EMILIO ISGRÒ. Modello Italia (2013 – 1964)

EMILIO-ISGRÒ_ENG

Emilio Isgrò is one of the most illustrious and best-known names on the international art scene of the second half of the 20th century and the early 21st century. Rome’s National Gallery of Modern Art (GNAM) is dedicating an extraordinary exhibition to this great Italian artist, painter, poet and playwright. The intention of this “exposition in reverse” is to display and demonstrate how relevant Isgrò’s work is today as well as to observe how closely his latest works are linked to his first ones. The spectacular and complex installations of his latest period are made up of elements which had been outlined as far back as the 1960’s – 70’s with themes and early sketches that were developed and elaborated. The show opens in the halls located on the museum’s ground floor and features works created in the last five years while a selection of the artist’s best known works are on display on the floor above: Volkswagen (1964), Jacqueline (1965), Enciclopedia Treccani (1970) as well as the first Libri cancellati (Erased books), Telex, Semi d’arancia (Orange pits), Particolare ingrandito di Gianni Agnelli (Enlarged detail of Gianni Agnelli) up until the harrowing Ora italiana (1985) inspired by the Bologna massacre.

GENESI-Sebastião-Salgado_ENG

Genesis” is the most recent great work by Sebastião Salgado, the most important social photographer of our time: a passionate view that emphasizes our need to protect our planet, change our lifestyles and our attitudes – becoming more respectful of nature and our surroundings as well as to create new harmony. The way the world once was and what it has become; the earth as a magnificent resource to be contemplated, known and loved. This is the objective and the value of Sebastião Salgado’s latest extraordinary project. Rome’s Ara Pacis Museum is presenting this event which will be held at the same time in other capitals (London, Rio de Janeiro and Toronto). Over 200 extraordinary photographs will be on exhibit: from the tropical forests of the Amazon, Congo, Indonesia and New Guinea to the glaciers of the Antarctic, the Alaskan taiga, deserts in America and Africa as well as the mountains in America, Chile and Siberia.

FRANCO MULAS. S-paesaggi. Landscapes 1980 – 2013

FRANCO-MULAS_ENG

The landscapes by Franco Mulas on exhibit in Rome’s Museo Carlo Bilotti are the last leg of a long and restless quest of an artist who has been a faithful witness of his times. The Italian title of the exhibition, S-paesaggi, is a play on words that can be loosely translated as landscapes/DIS-orientation. The 45 medium-sized and large oil paintings on panels displayed bear witness to the way the world and artistic practice are viewed by an “extremely modern old-fashioned painter”. Fragments of landscapes that are dramatic and disorientating with respect to any conjecture of reconciliation with the present, whose dehumanizing dismemberment is denounced by the painter.
