Two collective exhibitions

The Nucré project by Rita Urso and Arechi Invernizzi (Artopiagallery, Milan) is divided into two exhibitions: Fragment and Ornament curated by Roberto Lacarbonara at the Ducal Castle - Pinacoteca Emilio Notte and Where the earth meets the sky , curated by Giulia Bortoluzzi, dedicated to Rubina Ciraci, at the Trullo Rubina, in the Menzella district.

The fragmentary nature of art

In Fragment and Ornament the artists investigate the fragmentary nature of Objects (1969) by Emilio Notte, belonging to the series of still lifes and collages.

For example, T-Yong Chung explores the materiality of a bronze bust by removing a portion of the surface and revealing the structural interiority of the portrayed subject. While Francesco Gennari observes how every living being is intent on shaping buildings, territories and landscapes in his image.

The works featured are by: Emanuele Becheri, Max Bill, T-Yong Chung, Gabriella Ciancimino, Benjamin Cohen, Antonio Corpora, Francesco Gennari, Giorgio Griffa, Franco Guerzoni, Jean-Baptiste Maitre, Vincenzo Marsiglia, Elizabeth McAlpine, Diego Miguel Mirabella, Davide Monaldi, Emilio Notte, Achille Perilli, Markus Saile.

Between sky and nature

Where the earth meets the sky is proposed instead as a reflection on the relationship between the traditional agricultural vocation of the trulli and the importance of knowledge of nature, especially of the sky.

The trulli, typical peasant buildings of the Apulian territory with their almost domed shape rise upwards and often carry symbols belonging to the Christian, Jewish and pagan cultures, which refer to nature, climate and observation. of the stars.
