Italy's beloved actor Marcello
Mastroianni in Rome, a focus on Italian Romanticism in Milan,
Dadaists and Surrealists in Alba and contemporary artists in
Palermo is the line-up for exhibitions this weekend.
MILAN - From Hayez to Piccio, Caffi, Induno, Corot, Turner
and Friedrich: these are some of the various artists included in
the "Romanticism" exhibition at Gallerie d'Italia and Museo
Poldi Pezzoli from October 26 to March 17.
The exhibition celebrates and explains the identity and value
of the well-known movement, with special attention to Italy,
analyzing a period from the very first pre-Romantic expressions
to the Unification of Italy and the success of Realism.
At Fondazione Carriero, the protagonist is conceptual art in
the show "Giulio Paolini. Del Bello Ideale", which will run from
October 26 until February 10 and covers 57 years of the Turin
artist's career.
In non-chronological order and marked by thematic centers
that are combined with the architecture of the building,
Paolini's various masterpieces are exhibited: from Senza Titolo
(1961) to
Monogramma (1965) and Nécessaire (1968), some of his most famous
self-portraits and 3 new works made specifically for the
occasion.
ALBA - "Dal Nulla al Sogno. Dada e Surrealismo dalla
Collezione del Museo Boijmans Van Beuningen" is an exhibition
that will be hosted from October 27 until February 25 at
Fondazione Ferrero on the borders between the poetics of the two
well-known movements. Duchamp, Dalì, Man Ray and Picabia are
only a few of the artists in a show divided into 9 sections
analyzing central themes such as chance, aesthetic ugliness,
dreams, the subconscious, relations with ancient art and the
link between art and ideology.
ROME - One of the most beloved Italian actors of all time
will be celebrated in an homage at Ara Pacis with "Marcello
Mastroianni", an exhibition that will be open to the public
between October 26 and February 17 to tell of his life and
career.
Through his most beautiful portraits, heirlooms and traces of
his films and shows, photos and tales, writings, accounts by
those who knew him and reviews, the exhibition highlights
aspects both known and unknown about Mastroianni as a man and as
an actor, from his biggest film successes to his work in the
theater.
PALERMO - International artists who speak to each other and
create a constellation of linguistic expressions is the fulcrum
of the show "Foresta Urbana" in Piazza Bologni, Palazzo Belmonte
Riso, from October 27 until January 20.
The project aims to create an ideal, symbolic, metaphorical
forest, bringing together such big-names artists as Ai Weiwei,
Richard Long, Ernesto Neto and Benedetto Pietromarchi, all of
whom used the interpretation of nature and its manipulation as
original compositional elements to formulate new aesthetic and
representational codes.
NAPLES - From October 28 until November 26, the Maschio
Angioino hosts "Ci Rivedremo a Filippi", a show on Franz
Borghese.
In an ironic, surreal atmosphere, the project - which takes
its name from a famous saying handed down through the
generations since antiquity - includes 8 tempera paintings, 20
drawings and 7 watercolors as well as a bronze sculpture in
which the artist makes fun of the middle class and its
hypocrisy.
