  • Rome – Milan: Space and Colour, Rhythm and Matter 1 October
    Press Release Rome – Milan: Space and Colour, Rhythm and Matter 1 October – 28 November 2020 Private View: 1 October 2020, 12-8pm by appointment Mazzoleni is delighted to announce the launch of the new exhibition season in its London gallery on 1 October 2020, with the group show Rome – Milan: Space and Colour, Rhythm and Matter. The show brings together a number of the leading figures of the Italian art scene that were operating in these two major Italian cities with works realised mainly between the 1950s and 1960s. Acclaimed for their artistic revolutions, pioneers Lucio Fontana (1899-1968) and Alberto Burri (1915-1995) were the points of departure and reference for the experimentation later conducted by the artists born in the 1930s such as Agostino Bonalumi (1935-2013), Enrico Castellani (1930-2017), Dadamaino (1930-2004), Jannis Kounellis (1936-2017), Piero Manzoni (1933-1963) and Mario Schifano (1934-1998). They were to explore new and further strands of research as their artistic careers evolved. Fontana’s innovative reflections on space and Burri’s in-depth experimentation with materials were to be the driving forces behind the development of new artistic idioms. In parallel, predominantly through painting, Giulio Turcato (1912-1995), Piero Dorazio (1927-2005) and Carla Accardi (1924 -2014) (already members of the group Forma 1) combined a skilled use of shapes and colours with new “painterly” materials such as, foam rubber, enamels and casein. Meanwhile Giuseppe Capogrossi (1900-1972), the founder with Burri of the Origine group, developed a personal sign alphabet. In sculpture, from his debut alongside Lucio Fontana, Fausto Melotti (1901-1986) developed a lyrical and poetic dimension that led him to a truly unique artistic path of the Italian art scene.

    HTTPS://DOI.ORG/10.14324/111.2396-9008.034 ‘A KIND OF FISSURE’: FORMA (1947-1949) Catherine Ingrams We declare ourselves to be Formalists and Marxists, convinced that the terms Marxism and Formalism are not irreconcilable, especially today when the progressive elements of our society must maintain a revolutionary avant-garde position and not give over to a spent and conformist realism that in its most recent examples have demonstrated what a limited and narrow road it is on.1 hese are the opening lines of Forma’s manifesto, signed in Rome in March 1947 by eight young artists: Carla Accardi, Ugo Attardi, Pietro TConsagra, Piero Dorazio, Mino Guerrini, Achille Perilli, Antonio Sanfilippo and Giulio Turcato. They had met during the previous year through the realist painter, Renato Guttuso, a fellow member of the Italian Communist Party (the PCI) and a would-be mentor to them. Guttuso was on a trip to Paris when Forma signed their manifesto in his studio, a place where he had been letting many of them stay. With its contemptuous dismissal of realism, together with the method of its execution, Forma’s manifesto came as a compound rejection of Guttuso’s art, his hospitality and his network of connections, and it acted as a deliberate gesture of rupture, one which announced Forma’s ambitions to belong to ‘a revolutionary avant-garde’. In the discussion that follows, I connect Forma’s rhetoric of rupture with a more complex socio-political context, and I move to engage their art as a gesture of historical resistance worked through their reimagined return to the theories of Russian Formalism.

    Press Release LIGHT IN MOTION: Balla, Dorazio, Zappettini 30 September – 9 December 2017 Private View: Friday 29 September, 6–8pm Mazzoleni is pleased to announce its autumn exhibition ‘LIGHT IN MOTION: Balla, Dorazio, Zappettini’, whicH will explore shared tHemes in tHe work of three major Italian artists working througHout the 20th century, Giacomo Balla (1871–1958), Piero Dorazio (1927–2005) and Gianfranco Zappettini (b. 1939). The exhibition will bring together key works by each artist to demonstrate their shared mastery of ligHt, colour and perception during three pivotal moments in Post-War Italian art, Futurism, Lyrical Abstraction and Pittura Analitica. The exhibition will include over a dozen works on loan from private collections, never before exhibited in tHe UK. It is curated by Elena Gigli. Giacomo Balla, whose work was recently tHe subject of a major exHibition at tHe Estorick Collection, was a key proponent of Futurism. An original co-signatory of Marinetti’s Futurist Manifesto, signed in Milan in 1910, Balla was a pioneering figure of European Modernism. His work influenced many artists between tHe late 19tH and early 20tH centuries, with its characteristic preoccupation with new technology, speed, movement and light. He and his Futurist contemporaries were interested in abstract explorations of the rapidly evolving tecHnological advances of the time. The geometric style Balla developed, often composed of intersecting colourful bands, was cHampioned for its evocation of movement. BotH tHese Futurist works and tHe earlier Divisionist works that Balla produced at the start of his career were hugely influential on the development of younger artists, including subsequent collaborators and Futurist contemporaries.

    Josef Albers Max Bill Piero Dorazio Manuel Espinosa Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart Manuel Espinosa in Europe Josef Albers Max Bill Piero Dorazio Manuel Espinosa Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart Frieze Masters 2019 - Stand E7 Manuel Espinosa and his European Grand Tour Dr. Flavia Frigeri Once upon a time, it was fashionable among young members of the British and northern European upper classes to embark on what came to be known as the Grand Tour. A rite of passage of sorts, the Grand Tour was predicated on the exploration of classical antiquity and Renaissance masterpieces encountered on a pilgrimage extending from France all the way to Greece. Underpinning this journey of discovery was a sense of cultural elevation, which in turn fostered a revival of classical ideals and gave birth to an international network of artists and thinkers. The Grand Tour reached its apex in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, after which interest in the great classical beauties of France, Italy and Greece slowly waned.1 Fast-forward to 1951, the year in which the Argentine artist Manuel Espinosa left his native Buenos Aires to embark on his own Grand Tour of Europe. Unlike his cultural forefathers, Espinosa was not lured by 4 Fig. 1 Founding members of the Concrete-Invention Art Association pictured in 1946. Espinosa is third from the right, back row. Photo: Saderman. the qualities of classical and Renaissance Europe, but what propelled him to cross an ocean and spend an extended period of time away from home was the need to establish a dialogue with his abstract-concrete European peers.

  • Alberto Burri: the Art of the Matter
    Alberto Burri: The Art of the Matter Judith Rozner A thesis submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Volume I – Text Volume II - Illustration March 2015 School of Culture and Communication. The University of Melbourne. Produced on archival quality paper i VOLUME I ii For Avraham and Malka Ur iii iv ABSTRACT "Alberto Burri, an Italian artist of the immediate post WWII period, introduced common, everyday materials into his art. In so doing material became both the subject of his work as well as the object out of which the work was made. This thesis argues that the primary purpose of Burri's work throughout his career was to provoke a tactile, sensuous response in the viewer, a response which can best be understood through the lens of phenomenology." v vi DECLARATION This is to certify that: I. The thesis comprises only my original work. II. Due acknowledgment has been made in the text to all other material used. III. The thesis is less than 100.000 words in length exclusive of tables, maps, bibliography and appendices. Judith Rozner vii viii Preface In 1999, following an introduction by a mutual friend, I was invited by Minsa Craig- Burri, the widow of the artist Alberto Burri, to help her compile a biography of her life with her husband.1 I stayed and worked on the manuscript at their home at 59, Blvd. Eduard VII, in Beaulieu-sur-Mar, in the South of France for about six weeks. I had not seen the artist’s work before my arrival, and on my first encounter with it I just shrugged my shoulders and raised my eyebrows at the high prices it commanded in the market.

For the moment, I call these signs “The alphabet of the mind” because I believe that they are the codes of a personal language.

Germano Celant The exhibition Carla Accardi and Dadamaino: Between sign and transparency.
