Am I dreaming or am I awake? The Visionary in a century of Italian art

curated by Claudio Spadoni

From 07/12/2022 to 10/04/2023

 

The exhibition Do I dream or am I awake? will be inaugurated on Wednesday 7 December 2022 at the Mario Rimoldi Museum in Cortina d'Ampezzo. The Visionary in a century of Italian art, curated by prof. Claudio Spadoni, which will be open to the public on 8 December 2022.

The exhibition spans a century of artistic vicissitudes touching on the theme of the 'visionary' and tackling that of the 'nocturnal', i.e. the dreamlike dimension, but also of the 'visionariness with open eyes' understood in the most diverse meanings, as it has been interpreted by a vast sampling of artists: from some great Italian protagonists of the early 1900s such as Mario Sironi, Giorgio de Chirico, Alberto Savinio, Osvaldo Licini, to mention only a few, to leading figures of subsequent generations such as Sebastian Matta, Mattia Moreni, Ennio Morlotti, Sergio Vacchi, Sergio Romiti, Emilio Vedova, Enrico Baj, then leading figures of the Italian pop scene such as Mario Schifano, Giosetta Fioroni, Valerio Adami, Concetto Pozzati. Then, among several others, Aldo Mondino, Luigi Ontani, Gino De Dominicis, Claudio Parmiggiani, Salvo, Enzo Cucchi, Mimmo Paladino. To reach artists active from the end of the century to today such as Massimo Pulini, Antonio Violetta, Bertozzi&Casoni, Silvano D'Ambrosio, Davide Rivalta, Enrico Lombardi, Eron, Lucia Nanni, Marco Neri…

An exhibition itinerary, as the curator explains, divided into two sections: the first, Nocturnes and daydreams, made up of pictorial and plastic representations of the night to be understood also as a state of mind, nocturnal visions that border on those of the with open eyes'; the second, The dream of the past and the contemporary imagination, full of artists who look to the ancient, revisiting it through homages to the great masters, fantastic reconstructions, conceptual elaborations, using the most varied technical solutions, in a plurality of languages typical of our time .

As usual, the exhibition itinerary includes a dialogue with some works by important artists from the Rimoldi Collection; moreover, also in the setting up of the Permanente, on the second floor of the Museum, a section has been reserved dedicated to works from the Collection that are well combined with the theme of the exhibition.
