Tra Terra e Concetto
Curated by Albert Baronian
Tra Terra e Concetto (Between Earth and Concept) presents a landmark exhibition dedicated to the revolutionary Italian movement Arte Povera, curated by esteemed colleague and friend Albert Baronian, along standing advocate and champion of this group of artists. Bringing together seminal works by ten of the most influential artists of the movement, the exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience the radical materiality and philosophical rigor that redefined contemporary art in the late 20th century.
Arte Povera, literally “poor art,” emerged in Italy in the late 1960s as a radical break from conventional artistic practice. Renouncing traditional materials and embracing everyday objects—earth, lead, wood, glass, and fabric—the artists forged a language both grounded and metaphysical, elemental and conceptual. Their work challenged the dominance of industrial aesthetics and consumer culture, opening up new possibilities for art’s engagement with time, nature, and thought.
With works by Giovani Anselmo, Pier Paola Calzolari, Alighiero Boetti, Luciana Fabbro, Jannis Kounellis, Mario Merz, Giulio Paolini, Giuseppe Penone, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Gilberto Zorio.
