curated by Andrea Bellini and Dieter Schwarz<\/p>\n

The Castello di Rivoli presents the first Italian museum exhibition dedicated to Thomas Sch\u00fctte, the German artist. The exhibition, prepared in close collaboration with the artist, has been curated by Andrea Bellini, co-director of the Castello di Rivoli and Dieter Schwarz, director of the Kunstmuseum Winterthur. Co-produced by the Museum and by the NMNM Nouveau Mus\u00e9e National de Monaco, the Turinese exhibition marks the first of two events dedicated to this important German artist, whose work will also be presented at the NMNM in the Principality of Monaco between 6 July and 10 November. Within the spaces of Villa Paloma in Monaco, the exhibition concentrates on the series of architectural models of the One Man Houses<\/em>, accompanied by a group of recent and as yet unseen works exploring various themes dear to the artist, such as bunkers and temples. The Castello di Rivoli exhibition, instead, examines the Frauen <\/em>series, extraordinary portrayals of women whose bodies are submitted to spatial and organic deformations. What emerges forcefully from this group of works is Sch\u00fctte\u2019s ability to effect a true formal and imaginative revolution, not only with regard to the noble tradition of Western figurative sculpture but also to that of his own \u0153uvre. The bronze and aluminum Frauen<\/em> derive directly from some ceramic models chosen from the 120 different rough sketches realized between 1997 and 1999.<\/p>\n
