At the core of the Magazzino Italian Art museum’s mission is deepening the appreciation and understanding of postwar and contemporary Italian art. In that vein, the organization is dedicated to providing a space where conversation and scholarship are at the forefront.
On October 8, 2022, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Magazzino Italian Art will host presentations and conversations in conjunction with its exhibition Gilardi: Tappeto-Natura — Italian artist Piero Gilardi’s first institutional solo exhibition in the U.S., open now until January 9, 2023.
Through an ample selection of relevant works, Gilardi seeks to recount and illuminate the experience of a pioneering artist who, at the height of the 1960s, opened a dialogue between Italy and the United States, and who remains committed to investing in the formation of an international artistic community that embodies the tie between art and life.
Through expert and scholarly testimonies, presenters will contextualize the life, legacy, and philosophies of Piero Gilardi, the protagonist of Tappeto-Natura, with a focus on the artistic and industrial prominence of Turin, Gilardi’s hometown, the complexities of his ecological vision, and the extensive reiterations of his most famous work, Tappeti-Natura. The speakers include Gilardi: Tappeto-Natura Curator, Elena Re, Dr. Teresa Kittler, Dr. Elizabeth Mangini, and Dr. Christian Rattemeyer.
Tickets for the event can be purchased here.
