(ANSA) – BOLOGNA, 13 DEC – ‘Front and back’ is the title of Italo Zuffi’s solo exhibition (Imola, 1969) which is divided into two spaces, the Mambo-Museum of Modern Art of Bologna and Palazzo De ‘Toschi , home of the initiatives dedicated to contemporary art of Banca di Bologna. The project, which will open to the public on January 20 as the ‘main project’ of the Art City Bologna 2022 program, makes it possible to present the work of one of the most important Italian artists born in the late 1960s for the first time. . The exhibition is ideally divided into two parts: on the one hand, at the Mambo (until 1 May), a path that allows you to re-read the artist’s work by taking into consideration a spectrum of works ranging from the beginning to the middle of 1990s, until 2020. On the other hand, at Palazzo De ‘Toschi (until February 6), a series of new productions, works created for the occasion and in reaction to the characteristics of the space, touches on some of the key aspects of his recent research. The exhibition revolves around some thematic nuclei that have always supported Zuffi’s work and translate into contrasts and oppositions that can act on the body (sometimes that of the artist himself) as well as on the sculptural form: between the ideas of construction and at the same time of destruction / fall; of work and, at the same time, of energy dispersion; of softness and rigidity; of fragility and competition (especially with respect to the art system). The works presented at Mambo – works of sculpture, photography, video and performance, languages around which Zuffi’s poetics has developed over time – reconstruct the artist’s path through unprecedented combinations and without necessarily following a chronological progression. The more than fifty works on display are the most famous and emblematic of the artist but also some of the least seen and generate new hypotheses of dialogue between them. (HANDLE).
