  • Press Luciano Fabro Frieze, April 1, 2008
    MARIAN GOODMAN GALLERY Luciano Fabro By Andrew Bonacina (April 1, 2008) The word ‘Ricomincerò!’ (I will start again) was poignantly inscribed at the entrance to ‘Luciano Fabro: Didactica magna, Minima moralia’. Punctuating the end of an energetic, manifesto-like statement by the artist railing against the ‘reduction of the work to the status of an advertising gimmick’, this personal call to arms could not help but be read as Fabro’s unintentional last will and testament in the wake of his death in June 2007, during preparations for the exhibition. These potent last words revealed an undiminished ethical stance toward the value of a work of art: a stance that fuelled the artist’s creation of a remarkable oeuvre spanning almost six decades. Inevitably, Fabro’s untimely death burdened this exhibition with expectations of a broad and exhaustive survey, yet his adamant desire to focus solely on early works produced between 1963 and 1968 was fully acknowledged by curators Rudi Fuchs, Eduardo Cicelyn and Silvia Fabro, the artist’s daughter, who realized this coolly austere exhibition according to Fabro’s detailed notes and plans. The exhibition’s cut-off date somewhat pointedly marked the moment Fabro became associated with the Arte Povera movement, which reflected a period of intense social and political change in Italy, characterized by strong anti-war sentiment, scepticism of new technology and a growing hatred of the rampant ‘Americanization’ of culture. Arte Povera embodied an art of protest, an art which, wrote Germano Celant in Arte Povera in 1967, consisted in ‘taking away, eliminating, downgrading things to a minimum, impoverishing signs to reduce them to archetypes’.

  • The Politics of Arte Povera
    Living Spaces: the Politics of Arte Povera Against a background of new modernities emerging as alternatives to centres of tradition in the Italy of the so-called “economic miracle”, a group formed around the critic Germano Celant (1940) that encapsulated the poetry of arte povera. The chosen name (“poor art”) makes sense in the Italy of 1967, which in a few decades had gone from a development so slow it approached underdevelopment to becoming one of the economic dri- ving forces of Europe. This period saw a number of approaches, both nostalgic and ideological, towards the po- pular, archaic and timeless world associated with the sub-proletariat in the South by, among others, the writer Carlo Levi (1902-1975) and the poet and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975). the numbers relate to the workers who join a mensa operaia (workers’ table), a place as much to do with alienation as unionist conspiracy. Arte povera has been seen as “a meeting point between returning and progressing, between memory and anti- cipation”, a dynamic that can be clearly understood given the ambiguity of Italy, caught between the weight of a legendary past and the alienation of industrial develo- pment; between history and the future.

  • A Work for the Ara Pacis Mimmo Paladino Music By
    Press release A WORK FOR THE ARA PACIS MIMMO PALADINO MUSIC BY BRIAN ENO Two great protagonists of contemporary art and music together again in Rome for a site-specific event designed for the Ara Pacis Museum managed by Achille Bonito Oliva, James Putnam e Federica Pirani Rome March 10th, 2008 From March 11th to May 11th 2008, the first site-specific event organised for the Ara Pacis Museum, the exhibition/event “A work for the Ara Pacis. Mimmo Paladino | Music by Brian Eno” – managed by Achille Bonito Oliva, James Putnam and Federica Pirani, under the auspices of Comune di Roma, Assessorato alle Politiche Culturali Sovraintendenza ai Beni Culturali and organised by Zètema Progetto Cultura in line with Valentina Bonomo’s project – will be an opportunity for the two unquestioned protagonists of contemporary culture to meet again and work together after almost 10 years since their first joint project at the London Round House in 1999. The idea for “A Work for the Ara Pacis” is to create a single installation reconciling two different forms of art – Paladino’s figurative art and Eno’s music – and have it specifically designed for the Ara Pacis Musem. The project is further completed by the catalogue for the event edited by Gli Ori, Prato, and also titled: “A Work for the Ara Pacis. Mimmo Paladino | Music by Brian Eno”. More than 160 pages (in English and in Italian alike) of critical essays and pictures, including some extraordinary photographs taken by Ferdinando Scianna, who personally documented and followed every step of the exhibition. The critical essays include Ara Artis by Achille Bonito Oliva and Paladino/Eno at Ara Pacis by James Putnam.

  • Luciano Fabro (Turin, 1936 – Milan, 2007) Fabro, One of the Members Of
    Luciano Fabro (Turin, 1936 – Milan, 2007) Fabro, one of the members of the Arte Povera group, formulated his early works by examining the relationship between object, body, and space. The forms are basic and geometric, what one might describe as minimalist, but the attitude behind them stems from an idea and from the vitality of movement. They exist within a system that seems conceived to unfold at a meeting point between Leonardo’s Scheme on the Proportions of the Human Body and Palladian architecture. In 1969 he began a long series of works developed around the geographic outline of Italy, and he turned this shape into his personal blank page: “I need to know how my hands function on something that remains static. The form of Italy is static, immobile, and I measure my hands’ mobility against its stillness. Italy is like a sketch album, an aide mémoire that I have continued to do over the years: if I’m working on something new, I sketch it out on one of these Italies.” Speculum Italiae (Italy’s Mirror), 1971, begins with a shape in mirrored glass, tightly wrapped in thin strips of lead, like a mummified body. In Italia all’asta (Italy on Auction), 1994, two Italy shapes, one placed upside-down, are positioned face-to-face and then nailed to a pole; the surface of the shapes has a pattern in relief that is typical of manhole covers. The Italy that is right side up might be raised up on the pole like a proud insignia of our country, but the other one, upside down, instead seems to hang from a gallows, held prisoner by a pin, like a giant insect, captured or fallen dead.

  • Rereading Theatricality in Luciano Fabro's
    BEHIND THE MIRROR: REREADING THEATRICALITY IN LUCIANO FABRO’S ALLESTIMENTO TEATRALE BY DAVID A. THOMAS THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Art History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Assistant Professor Irene Small ABSTRACT In the 1967 article "Art and Objecthood," the American art critic Michael Fried faults Minimalist sculpture for its inherent theatricality. Theatricality, as he defines it, results from the form's anthropomorphic scale and sense of hollowness that imply a presence, like that of a human body, inside the work. The dialogical relationship between the viewer and this interior presence becomes a spectacle. I intend to examine Fried's definition of theatricality alongside the work of the Arte Povera artist Luciano Fabro, who utilizes familiar Minimalist-like forms as containers for real human bodies. In a scantly documented performance piece Allestimento teatrale: cubo di specchi [Theatrical Staging: Mirror Cube], (1967/75), Fabro presents a theatrical performance with an audience seated around a large mirror cube listening to a monologue performed by an actor sealed inside the cube. Since its inception in the late 1960s, the Italian Arte Povera movement has been described, among other things, as a critique of Minimalism. The group read Minimalist sculpture as a reflection of an alienating technological system of American capitalist production. As I argue, Fabro's construction of presence renders it an affectation, a manipulation of the public audience, and further that the reflection of the audience on the sides of the mirror cube allows for the formation of a collective subject.

  • February 16, 2008 Luhring Augustine Is Pleased to Present Red Sky, A
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Red Sky January 12 – February 16, 2008 Luhring Augustine is pleased to present Red Sky, a group exhibition featuring painting, sculpture and installation by eight key artists associated with the Arte Povera movement. The exhibition includes work by Alighiero e Boetti, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Luciano Fabro, Jannis Kounellis, Mario Merz, Giulio Paolini, Michelangelo Pistoletto and Gilberto Zorio. The term arte povera translates to poor art, but the movement as a whole encompassed far more than the use of humble materials. During the sixties and seventies, several young artists based in Italy strove to create work in a spirit of experimentation and openness. The loosely defined movement was coined Arte Povera by the prominent art critic and curator Germano Celant in 1967. In response to art historical tradition and the slick commercialism of the day, these artists turned instead to organic and industrial materials and employed unconventional methods of art- making. Recurrent themes include metamorphosis, alchemy, entropy and relational aesthetics resulting in works which emphasize the metaphysical, the symbolic and the poetic. Alighiero e Boetti’s work is often defined by systematic mark-making reflecting his interest in order and logic. For example, uno2due3tre4quattroecc is rendered on graph paper and the multiplication of black squares appears to follow a precise mathematical formula. The works of Gilberto Zorio include his trademark motifs of star and javelin, both of which are archetypal symbols suggestive of purity, energy and movement. Pier Paolo Calzolari’s Untitled installation involves a metallic grid frozen over time and is characteristic of Calzolari’s use of machinery, neon and freezing elements to explore the notion of transformation.

    G A G O S I A N G A L L E R Y 13 January 2006 PRESS RELEASE GAGOSIAN GALLERY 6-24 BRITANNIA STREET T. 020.7841.9960 LONDON WC1X 9JD F. 020. 7841.9961 GALLERY HOURS: Tue – Sat 10:00am– 6:00pm MARIO MERZ: 8-5-3 Friday, 10 February – Saturday, 18 March 2006 Opening reception: Thursday, February 9th, 6 – 8pm Gagosian Gallery is pleased to announce a large-scale installation by the Italian artist Mario Merz (1925 – 2003). The work, titled 8-5-3, was first shown at Kunsthaus Zurich in 1985 and it features three igloos constructed from metal and glass, covered with fragments of clamps and twigs, and linked by neon tubes. The phrase Objet cache-toi or ‘a hiding place’ stretches across the structure in red neon lights. In 1968 Merz produced Giap’s Igloo, the first of these archetypal dwellings that have become his signature works. Through the igloo motif Merz explores the fundamentals of human existence: shelter, nourishment and humanity’s relationship to nature. He examines the lost purity of pre- industrial societies as well as the changing, nomadic identity of modern man. Merz’s igloos are comprised of diverse materials including the organic and the artificial, the opaque and the transparent, the heavy and the lightweight. The title of the exhibition, 8-5-3, corresponds to the diameter of each of the three igloos. Furthermore, it refers to the Fibonacci sequence, a mathematical series of numbers recognized in the 13th century. In this sequence, each numeral is equal to the sum of the two that precede it: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and so on.

  • Clarissa Ricci Towards a Contemporary Venice Biennale: Reassessing the Impact of the 1993 Exhibition
    Journal On Biennials Why Venice? Vol. I, No. 1 (2020) and Other Exhibitions Clarissa Ricci Towards a Contemporary Venice Biennale: Reassessing the Impact of the 1993 Exhibition Abstract This paper argues that Cardinal Points of Art, directed by Achille Bonito Oliva has been decisive in the formation of the contemporary Venice Biennale. The 45th Venice Biennale, (1993) was memorable for many reasons: the first exhibi- tion of Chinese painters in Venice, its transnational approach, and because it was the last time the Aperto exhibition was shown. Nevertheless, this was a complex and much criticised Biennale whose specific characteristics are also connected to the process of reform that the institution had been undergoing since the 1970s. The analysis of the exhibition starts with the examination of this legacy and continues by questioning Bonito Oliva’s curatorial contribution in order to define the specific features which helped to shape the contemporary Venice Biennale.
