Maria Morganti. L’Unità di Misura è il Colore

Exhibition Description
This exhibition was conceived in relation to the architectural spaces at the Castelvecchio Museum, Carlo Scarpa’s contribution and the museum collection.

This is the first art space I was introduced to and visited as a child.

Often Scarpa makes us look at something by approaching it from behind: he shows us the back as if it were the front. He shows us what we do not normally see.

In response to the architect’s approach, I thought of the exhibition as a crossing, a duration, a journey, a walk in the space that every now and then would open up in the relationship between my works and those of the museum.

Disseminating. Indicating. Insinuating myself slowly, slowly, in the spaces that the museum houses, in the parts that the museum leaves free. Often placing myself behind things in the empty spaces.

I get close to the works, listening, inserting myself in the voids, in the pauses, in the interstices, in the fissures, in the backs of the works, behind and on the margins.

Spreading, accumulating and disseminating.

The sedimentation, the experience that produces substance, the work accumulated over time in the studio is spread around the museum and takes its position.

Invited by Paola Marini, Director of Museum
Exibition curated by Chiara Bertola.
