The exhibition focuses on the work of artists who have developed their artistic language through calligraphy and alphabetic sign. A study that takes its origin from the early XX century avant-garde and, in the wake of a renewed continuity, arrives to the contemporary experience. Restoring the signifier to its signified opens a deeper channel of communication, possibly more substantial and intimate than that used by mass media, providing redundant information and often devoid of content. Cy Twombly, Alighiero Boetti, Carla Accardi, Gastone Novelli, are some of the artists who have effectively illustrated the iconic power of sign and speech.
An exhibition dedicated to a great figure of the art of second half of the century, the inventor of the décollage technique, and a friend of Carlo Bilotti. About thirty works of different sizes show the two different vocations of the artist: figurative art, oscillating from American pop-art to French Nouveau réalisme, and abstract-materic art. To the latter is dedicated the section displaying back of posters showing no pictures, but the white paper and glue, dust and rust, on rigid supports forming mysterious palimpsests or parchments erased by time.
