ACTIONS AND PROCESSES IN ARTE POVERA TH RD NOV. 30 2019 - MAY 3 2020 Beyond the mention of simple materials suggested by its name, the term ‘poor art’ was initially borrowed from Jerzy Grotowski’s theatrical term by the critic and mentor of this group phenomenon, Germano Celant. His legendary exhibition Arte povera più azioni povere, organised in 1968 at Amalfi, from the outset placed the necessity of action at the heart of these young artists’ considerations. Echoing with the social and political needs of that time, they stand for rejection of the traditional value of the artwork and the use of a unique technique for proposing collaborative experiences, gestures and attitudes, rather than objects to be contemplated. PRESS KIT Focused on the early years of Arte Povera, the exhibition Entrare nell’opera reveals the strong commitment of its protagonists to the notion of performance and the intensity of their interest in creating an interaction between object, body, temporality and space. For the purpose of formulating new approaches to art production, each artist in this exhibition worked with a broad range of media in an individual way, exploring new materials and using the simplest means to create poetic statements based on the events of everyday life. Their aim was to integrate as many forms of expression as possible, combining visual arts with movement in space and event-driven dynamics.

  • Introduction*
    Introduction* CLAIRE GILMAN If Francesco Vezzoli’s recent star-studded Pirandello extravaganza at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Senso Unico exhibition that ran con- currently at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center are any indication, contemporary Italian art has finally arrived.1 It is ironic if not entirely surprising, however, that this moment occurs at a time when the most prominent trend in Italian art reflects no discernible concern for things Italian. Rather, the media-obsessed antics of Vezzoli or Vanessa Beecroft (featured alongside Vezzoli in Senso Unico) are better understood as exemplifying the precise eradication of national and cultural boundaries that is characteristic of today’s global media culture. Perhaps it is all the more fitting, then, that this issue of October returns to a rather different moment in Italian art history, one in which the key practition- ers acknowledged the invasion of consumer society while nonetheless striving to keep their distance; and in which artists responded to specific national condi- tions rooted in real historical imperatives. The purpose of this issue is twofold: first, to give focused scholarly attention to an area of post–World War II art history that has gained increasing curatorial exposure but still receives inadequate academic consideration. Second, in doing so, it aims to dismantle some of the misconceptions about the period, which is tra- ditionally divided into two distinct moments: the assault on painting of the 1950s and early ’60s by the triumverate Alberto Burri, Lucio Fontana, and Piero Manzoni, followed by Arte Povera’s retreat into natural materials and processes.

  • 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.

    Don't Miss Magazzino's Re-Opening! Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Don't Miss Magazzino's Re-Opening! I. i. (March 02, 2018) Magazzino's latest exhibition "Arte Povera: From the Olnick Spanu Collection" presents a comprehensive overview on the artistic practice of 12 artists associated with the Italian Arte Povera movement such as Giovanni Anselmo, Alighiero Boetti, Pierpaolo Calzolari, Luciano Fabro, Jannis Kounellis, Mario Merz, Marisa Merz, Giulio Paolini, Pino Pascali, Giuseppe Penone, Michelangelo Pistoletto and Gilberto Zorio. This exhibition represents the Olnick Spanu Collection's [2]core of Post-war Italian art, allowing the space to be an environment solely devoted to this generation of Italian artists. Their work came at a defining moment in the 1960s, as Italy was transitioning into an era of Page 1 of 2 Don't Miss Magazzino's Re-Opening! Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) burgeoning industrialization, student rebellion, and a decline of the “economic miracle” of the 1950s allowed by the Marshall Plan [3]. The artists aimed to eradicate the boundaries between media as well as between nature and art, their mantra was “Art is Life.” The term Arte Povera, coined by art critic Germano Celant [4]in 1967 to mean "impoverished art," grew out of the radical stance artists were taking in response to their dissatisfaction with the values established by political, industrial and cultural institutions in Italy. Following the movement’s inception by Celant, 1968 was a year of seismic social and political change across the globe which percolated into the time's art scene.

  • 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.
