Marisa Merz and Shilpa Gupta visibileinvisibile
curated by Bartolomeo Pietromarchi and Fanny Borel
Two worlds, two histories, two eras meet in the rooms of Palazzo Ardinghelli as part of the works of two artists born 50 years apart in places as distant as Italy and India.
The exhibition, the title of which is inspired by Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s famous unfinished text, The Visible and the Invisible, which came out posthumously in 1964, features around 50 works by the two artists, establishing a dialogue suspended in time and space between their works, overcoming distances and giving them new perspectives and meanings.
Eastern and Western culture meet and confront each other in the Museum’s Baroque rooms, which privilege the intimate and private dimension, as part of a tense and precise conversation on the themes of the visible and invisible, the said and the unsaid, the concrete and the abstract.
