PALABRAS IMÁGENES Y OTROS TEXTOSwhich celebrates 50 years of promoting the transgression of the creative path. The exhibition takes its cue from the proclamation of Buenos Aires "UNESCO World Book Capital" and combines the works of "visual poetry" of the Carlo Palli collection, the works of famous artists from Argentina, many of which are of Italian origin. In addition also the presence of important international artists from the Fluxus movement, which celebrates 50 years since first promoting the transgression of the creative path.
From the '50s and '60s art tends more often to writing and graphic expression with the works of Capogrossi, Novelli, the Group Form 1 and many others in Italy, Joseph Beuys, Wolf Vostell, Nam June Paik, Robert Filliou, Ben Vautier in Europe in general and Cy Twombly and Franz Kline in the U.S. until 1962, when the Lithuanian George Maciunas theorizes Fluxus art movement as integral (pictorial, musical and literary) in which the art is not the goal, but a mean. The artwork is not the justification nor the reason of being, nor the culmination of any creative activity, but it is only a pretext, a way to explore the unconscious, stimulate the imagination and provoke a reaction in the viewer. The exhibition, accompanied by texts by Marco Bazzini, Lucilla Sacca and Massimo Scaringella, contributes to the knowledge of a movement that has grown simultaneously all over the world and of Italian artist of the movement, present in the Palli Collection. This unique collection, gives a broad overview of the metamorphosis that the text and the word acquire when they become artistic concept. |
