Still_Life_Scan

Opening

28 January 2023

Still_Life_Scan is Vittoria Piscitelli's new project that investigates one of the key elements of the history of art, still widely debated: the relationship between reality and its representation. The challenge is to restore the complexity of reality, while questioning the relationship between the physical world and the ideal one and the impact that one exerts on the other.

Leonardo Cremonini

Retrospective Exhibition 16 December 2021 - 31 January 2022 An extensive exhibition celebrates the painter from Bologna who passed away in 2010: a life between France and the Mediterranean coasts of which echoes resound in the landscapes and in the light of his painting. Loved by Moravia, Calvino, Eco, Buzzati, and by philosophers such as Althusser, who dedicated his only text on painting to him; friend of Peggy Guggenheim, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Francis Bacon, Mario Sironi, Gino Severini, Balthus, just to name a few, Cremonini marks the path of the history of art and culture of the twentieth century. His works are present in the most important art collections in the world such as the Center Georges Pompidou in Paris, the MOMA in New York, the Israel National Museum in Jerusalem, the Frissiras Museum in Athens, the Uffizi Gallery in Florence and obviously the collection of the Museum of Modern Art of the city of Bologna.

Anatomie di consumo

Dario Tironi

11 April - 1 June 2019

“Anatomie di Consumo” by Dario Tironi, is the exhibition that starts the events programme of the new gallery in Bologna. The artist, already presented in this city in May 2018 with Figure Futuribili Exhibition, at “Collezione delle Cere Anatomiche - Luigi Cattaneo”, returns to reflect, with sceptical and analytical irony, on both the consumer society and the cycle of production - accumulation - disposal of daily use objects that become linguistic systems in the artistic practice and bearers of new meanings.
