The female representation according to Boldini, Sironi and Picasso alongside the ironic and caricatured one of the male genital organ by Fellini, and then the culture of Tibet interpreted in painting by Han Yuchen: these are some of the exhibitions this week.
DOMODOSSOLA (VB) – “In the sign of women. Between Boldini, Sironi and Picasso” is the exhibition set up from 15 July to 11 December at the Gian Giacomo Galletti Civic Museums in Palazzo San Francesco. Curated by Antonio D’Amico and Federico Troletti, the exhibition is dedicated to the role of women in the years that close the nineteenth century and open the twentieth century. Over 60 works by various authors (including Zandomeneghi, Fattori, Lega, Pellizza da Volpedo, Carrà), including paintings, sculptures, vintage cameras, clothes and photographs, investigate the interconnections between the various manifestations of modernity.
ROME – From 14 July to 4 September Palazzo Bonaparte hosts “Han Yuchen. Tibet, splendor and purity”, curated by Nicolina Bianchi and Gabriele Simongini. The retrospective, dedicated to the Chinese master of contemporary oil painting, presents about 40 works, many of which are large, divided into 3 sections (Landscapes, Portraits and Spirituality) to tell about Tibet, its people, its landscapes, his soul.
SERAVEZZA (LU) – The exhibition “Pino Biggi. Discipline of silence” opens on 16 July, curated by Michele Bonuomo and set up until 15 August at the Stables of the Medici Palace in Seravezza. Thanks to a significant nucleus of exemplary works (in collaboration with Biggi’s heirs), the itinerary comprehensively documents all the research phases and the poetics of the Tuscan artist’s work.
VOLTERRA – At the Pinacoteca of Palazzo Minucci Solaini from 15 July to 30 September “Fatal Error” by Gianni Lucchesi, curated by Carlo Alberto Arzelà with texts by Nicolas Ballario. Through the works – all destabilizing works, expression of the constant risk that man experiences, between continuous connections and disconnections – Lucchesi pushes the visitor to lose his balance from many different perspectives, looking back but also looking forward.
BOMARZO – From July 16 to October 23 “Time Capsule”, exhibition curated by Serena Achilli, with the sculptures of Tommaso Cascella and Sandro Scarmiglia at the gardens of the Sacro Bosco di Bomarzo: using iron and cement in their works to date our technological and precarious time, the two authors give life to a confrontation-dialogue with the surreal and disorienting garden invented by Vicino Orsini in the sixteenth century.
RIMINI – Until 6 November at Palazzo del Fulgor “Fellini Forbidden”, an exhibition focusing on the graphic work created by the Maestro in preparation for the film Il Casanova (1976). In an installation that recalls the dreamlike and voyeuristic atmospheres of the film, 42 small-format plates are exhibited dedicated by Fellini to ‘Prick’ (Anglo-Saxon nickname with which he identifies his sexual alter ego): a series of caricatures of the male genital organ that they compose, with The Book of Dreams, the only other thematic collection in the vast graphic production of the Rimini director.
BRESCIA – Until September 18, the personal exhibition of the Brescian artist Gabriele Picco “Clouds Never Say Hello”, curated by Claudio Musso in the spaces of Palazzo Martinengo Cesaresco Novarino. By lightly tackling delicate themes such as death, sex, the solitude of contemporary man in an articulated selection of unpublished works, the artist invites the public to consider life and the world as an immense visionary theater.
