  • Arte Povera Tate Modern, London, UK
    MARIAN GOODMAN GALLERY Arte Povera Tate Modern, London, UK By Alex Farquharson (September 10, 2001) Unbelievably, 'Zero to Infinity' is the first survey of Arte Povera to be held in Britain. We've had solo, senior-status shows by many of its prime exponents - Luciano Fabro, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Jannis Kounellis, Giuseppe Penone, Alighiero Boetti - in recent memory, but no overview. The movement officially began in 1967, when the young critic-turneD-curator Germano Celant coined the Arte Povera moniker, and ended in 1970, when he took the unilateral decision to bury it and work with its individual participants. Usually it's the artists that reject the way their inDividualism has been subsumed by movements defined by critics or curators, but in Arte Povera's case it was the artists (most of them, at least) who wanted to keep the show on the road into the 1970s. This says a lot for the strange coherence of this most enigmatic of art movements, anD the relative isolation Italian artists experienced prior to their integration within international post- Minimalist tenDencies at the close of the DecaDe. The show's curators, RicharD FlooD from the Walker Art Center anD the Tate's Frances Morris, made the innovative decision to extend the time frame to include Arte Povera's immediate aftermath and its pre-history, when some of its slightly older practitioners (Pistoletto, Pino Pascali and Kounellis, for example) were beginning to be known individually. Academically, this move revealed the extent to which Arte Povera did or didn't come out of nowhere, and how, after its dissolution, the artists set out on the divergent, inDividually traDemarkeD careers we know toDay.

Please ask for times at Reception. approach to collaboration inside and outside the art world over a 22-year-period from 1963 to 1985. The exhibition presents his early sculptures as well as his work as a creative facilitator with various political movements. It brings these two strands up to date with two recent sculptures, together with props and video documentation relating to anti-austerity and environmental campaigns in Italy. Collaborative Effects is the first time Gilardi’s work outside of the art world has been included within an exhibition. Piero Gilardi was an influential figure in the development of Arte Povera, or “poor art”. The term was first used by the critic Germano Celant to describe a radical and diverse group of artists concentrated in Turin, Italy, in the late 1960s. As well as Gilardi, the group included Mario Merz, Alghiero Boetti and Michelangelo Pistoletto. Although it is difficult to generalise, Arte Povera was characterised by materials and processes that are both raw and direct, favouring industrial and organic materials – even live animals. Their work is poetic, enigmatic and philosophical. In contrast Gilardi’s own work in this period was a synthetic, vividly coloured representation of nature, Logo by Anthea Hamilton carved and painted by hand.

  • The Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein Presents the Historic Years of the Arte Povera with More Than 130 Works
    The Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein presents the historic years of the Arte povera with more than 130 works >“What is to be done?” asks the large scale Arte povera exhibition which the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein has realized for its 10 year anniversary. The exhibition focuses on the time between 1967 and 1972 and includes works by all principal artists of the Arte povera movement. The artists of the Arte povera movement sought to bridge the gap between art and life, expanding consciousness by reducing the distance between the artwork and the spectator. The familiar, ordinary things that we tend to regard as worthless were to be rediscovered as new, art-worthy materials; previously neglected everyday items were to be transformed into meaningful works of art. The new art was to be more simple and more modest in its means, and more authentic in its materials. In this way, Arte povera was to open up a poetic and sensual window on the world and the energies behind all that exists, creating metaphors of the life-force that flows from primor- dial sources – metaphors, above all, of the spiritual energies that seek to change rigid structures. The exhibition centres around the leading topics of the Arte povera: time, the history of the earth, energy and alchemy. Che fare? Arte povera includes works by Giovanni Anselmo, Alighiero Boetti, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Luciano Fabro, Piero Gilardi, Jannis Kounellis, Mario Merz, Marisa Merz, Giulio Paolini, Pino Pascali, Giuseppe Penone, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Emilio Prini, Salvo and Gilberto Zorio. Many of the works shown will be from the collection of the museum.

  • Piero Gilardi – Collaborative Effects 8 September 2012 – 6 January 2013 / Opening 8 September 15:00
    Press release July 2012 Piero Gilardi – Collaborative Effects 8 September 2012 – 6 January 2013 / Opening 8 September 15:00 The exhibition Collaborative Effects, devoted to the work of Italian artist Piero Gilardi (Turin 1942) will be the artist’s first solo presentation in the Netherlands. Gilardi was a formative figure in the birth of Arte Povera an art movement which would drastically change European art of the mid sixties and exerts a profound influence today. The exhibition will focus on Gilardis ‘Tappeti Natura’, but also on his theoretical work and in particular his Relational Art projects in which he combines political activism with socials goals aimed at bridging the gap between nature and society. Gilardis ‘Tappeti Natura’ suspended production of the carpets until 1990 he The exhibition focuses on work produced between 1963- began producing them as part of his interactive 1985. During this period Gilardi produced large, installations. hyperrealist sculptures from Polyurethane which he called ‘Tappeti-natura’ [nature carpets]. These carpets sought to simulate images of ideal nature and varied from intricate depictions of riversides and the floor of a cave, to forests and vegetable gardens. With these works Gilardi aimed to create an interplay between onlooker and art work, individual and environment, nature and culture. They eschewed formal composition in favour of an approach to the image and object that could be used by all. The carpets were not conceived as autonomous art objects and, despite them being displayed and sold in galleries, they could be purchased by the metre, intended as picnic rugs or wall hangings.

  • Lumley, Robert Habitable Art: in and Around Piero Gilardi
    Lumley, Robert Habitable Art: In and Around Piero Gilardi Main Image: Installation view,“Gilardi, Piacentino, Pistoletto. Arte Abitabile”, Galleria Sperone, Torino, June-July 1966 © Gian Enzo Sperone, Courtesy Sperone Westwater, New York My purpose is very simple - to situate Piero Gilardi as a key figure at the genesis of what has come to be known as Arte Povera. Recently light has been thrown on a phase when Gilardi was a mercurial weaver of networks connecting artists across Europe and North America in the late 1960s, a moment marked by two landmark exhibitions of 1969. Christian Rattemeyer's Exhibiting the New Art: 'Op Losse Schroeven' and 'When Attitudes Become Form' 1969 contains interviews that point clearly to Gilardi's role as go- between, including Francesco Manacorda's interview with Gilardi himself[1]. Less attention, however, has been paid to Gilardi's practice as an artist who was very much part of the art scene in Turin that by 1968 included not only members of an older generation, such as Mario Merz then aged 43, but young artists in their early twenties, such as Giovanni Anselmo, Alighiero Boetti, Gianni Piacentino, and Gilberto Zorio. In Germano Celant's account Pre-cronistoria, 1966-69, the year 1966 is treated as a watershed: in New York there were two exhibitions that marked both the affirmation of Minimalism and the emergence of Post-Minimalism, notably 'Primary Structures' at the Jewish Museum and 'Eccentric Abstraction' at the Fischbach Gallery. Meanwhile in Turin there was the exhibition 'Arte Abitabile' at the Gian Enzo Sperone Gallery[2]. Much, of course, has been written about the New York shows.
