Installation Diary-Paper (BLM)

Diary-Paper installation. Hung on the wall with steel pins, at a distance of 0.5 cm from one to the other.

“the variable holding together these papers […] is above all that of time. The works of Maria Morganti look like portraits of the flow of things under the form of color. This color is, in fact, the fruit of a sequence regulated neither by moods nor by any iron clad rule: no emotional intimacy or insistence on logic exists. The overlapping of moments and of colors is dictated by the normal flow of things. The work might remind of utopias or of reminiscences of the most richly ideological and resolute avant-garde movements of the past, but, actually, it steers in the opposite direction. As attested by the edges of frayed color, the traces of brush that were impossible to eliminate, the random placement of the papers, here we are given a sort of  “do as one can” that allows for adjustments and the unexpected to take place.”
Angela Vettese, in «Maria Morganti» (Corraini, 2005)

"The artist herself considers the exhibition at Palazzetto Tito as a cardinal moment in the development of this series, a unique opportunity in which to place all the works on paper produced until that moment on the same level. The abstract dimension of Maria Morganti’s works, thanks precisely to the combinatory, ritual practice linked to doing and to time, gradually takes on an increasingly political dimension."
Barbara Garatti, in «Astratte» (Electa, 2024)

Paper’s Specific projects
The sequence of the Papers occasionally takes a different order, as if to say that the order of things is arbitrary and can be reorganised differently every time.
These works are used like fragments, mosaic pieces to relate with different spaces.
A pictorial substance produced inside my studio that relates to external spaces becomes a pictorial gesture within the architecture.  The number, type and colour of the pieces of paper used is determined by the space that houses them.
