Marisa Merz \u2013 The Dance of the Hours<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition is part of the exhibition project Marisa Merz \u2013 The Dance of the Hours<\/em><\/strong>, organized with Fondazione Merz, Turin, and GAM \u2013 Galleria Civica d\u2019Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Turin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marisa Merz, the only female protagonist of the Arte Povera movement, employed multiple expressive languages: painting, sculpture, drawing, video, and installation. On the occasion of the centenary of Merz\u2019s birth, three major Italian institutions are jointly organizing an exhibition dedicated to the artist, conceived in three acts and curated by a different team for each exhibition venue. The three chapters aim to bring to life a collective and multifaceted portrait of the artist that reflects the depth of her contribution to the evolution of Italian and global art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition at Castello di Rivoli will begin with the reconstruction of \u201cE il naufragar m\u2019\u00e8 dolce in questo mare\u201d<\/em>, an important exhibition project that the artist presented in 1980 at the Turin gallery Tucci Russo and later replicated at the Venice Biennale the same year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In keeping with the artist\u2019s practice, the installation will constitute the exhibition\u2019s core, from which themes and research will unfold. The exhibition will take the shape of an \u2018expanded restrospective\u2019 and include the participation of contemporary artists who are formally or conceptually inspired by Marisa Merz, or who continue her innovative work, procedurally centered on transformation and continuous additive reworking.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\t
