    Palazzo Venier dei Leoni 701 Dorsoduro 30123 Venezia, Italy Telephone 041 2405 411 Telefax 041 5206885 Press release NEW SCULPTURE AT THE PEGGY GUGGENHEIM COLLECTION July 4--presentation by Giovanni Carandente and Luca Massimo Barbero of works by Alexander Calder, Maurizio Nannucci, Isamu Noguchi, David Smith, Giuseppe Spagnulo Five new sculptures, including works by the greatest American sculptors of the 20th century, have been installed in the outdoor spaces of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice. The Collection is the major venue for Modernist sculpture in Italy, and the only museum where sculptures, from Alberto Giacometti and Jean Arp to Jenny Holzer and Fabrizio Plessi, from Henry Moore to Marino Marini and Anthony Caro, can be seen together. The new arrivals are by Americans David Smith, Isamu Noguchi and Alexander Calder, and by Giuseppe Spagnulo and Maurizio Nannucci, two of Italy’s leading living Italian sculptors. On 4 July 2004, 11.30 am, at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Giovanni Carandente, formerly director of the 1962 Fourth Spoleto Festival of Two Worlds and of the 1988 and 1990 Venice Biennales, and Luca Massimo Barbero, Associate Curator of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, will present the works to the public and to the press. Over the years, outdoor sculpture at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection has come to be one of its main attractions. As early as 1985 Luciano Minguzzi donated Two Figures (1950-1952) and in 1989 Mario Merz installed a neon sculpture on the principal garden wall, If the Form Vanishes, Its Root is Eternal (1982-89). In 1995 an agreement was signed with the Patsy and Raymond Nasher Foundation whereby sculpture from the Nasher Collection would be loaned for display in what is now known as The Nasher Sculpture Garden.

  • Press Release Jonathan Monk
    Press Release Three Ball Total Equilibrium Tank and other problems JONATHAN MONK 15 June – 25 July 2020 Monday, June 15, 2020 at 6:00 pm, after the long pause caused by Covid-19 pandemic, Quartz Studio is pleased to present Three Ball Total Equilibrium Tank and other problems, an edition by Jonathan Monk (Leicester, UK, 1969), purposely conceived for the Turin non-profit space. The project of this edition, following the one of Poster (Manifesto), realized in collaboration with Maurizio Nannucci in 2014, was pending since the exhibition Cool Your Jets (2016), resulting from a dialogue between Liam Gillick and Jonathan Monk on the topics of soccer and economy. Now, within the expanded time of the health emergency, that idea finally takes shape in order to support Quartz through the production of an edition of 10 (+1 AP). On the occasion, three installations have been produced. Each of them is composed by seven hexagonal cement tiles replicating the colors of the original Quartz floor cement tiles and three balls realized in Germany in 2016, thanks to the technical advice of Giulia Mainetti from Altofragile studio, Milan. The original project for the exhibition Cool Your Jets - writes the critic Marco Scotti – was born from a conversation between Jonathan Monk and Liam Gillick, in which to the questions posed by the latter related to themes of contemporary sociology, the former replied with quotations from the world of football. In Monk’s continuous interactions between conceptual art and autobiography, this sport regularly recurs, starting

The exhibition and event spaces now meet all the facilities and amenities a modern museum operation requires. In addition to the historic Lenbach rooms, visitors will once again find our stunning collection of the art of the Blue Rider group (Der Blaue Reiter) as well as the works of nineteenth- century Munich painters. This division of our collection is 6 now enhanced by landscapes from the Christoph Heilmann 7 Foundation, whose generosity enables us to present works of the Dresden Romantics, the Berlin and Düsseldorf schools, and the influential Barbizon school of painting as well. With the acquisition of Joseph Beuys’s show your wound in 1979, the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus resolutely opened its collection-building efforts to the art of the present.

Our being, that is, as a society, “in touch with everyone and everything”1 has become over the past decade a reality on equal footing with the awareness of enjoying the world in an “expanded present.”2 Fostered by Western models, this is a symptom of systematizing new things from electronic screens, from expanding communication as translated by Google Translate, with widespread knowledge thanks to Wikipe- dia and expanded memory through portable archives like video-tele- phones or the enveloping systems of iCloud. In short: all that is re- lated to the transition from an analogue-type reproduction system to digital-type diffusion.3 This condition leads us to consider all places as layers, in an unspecified and generic whole, and to enjoy the facts of history as being coexistent4 though also independent.
