MACROwall:
EIGHTIES ARE BACK! VITTORIO MESSINA
Curated by Ludovico Pratesi - III Floor
25 June - 15 September 2011
Vittorio Messina is featured in this edition of MACROwall: Eighties are Back! The project involves a review of Italian art in the eighties in a series of solo exhibitions of artists representing different types of artistic production in the decade. Each artist is invited to exhibit two works on one wall, an early work and one that is recent, to allow the public to rediscover the vitality of the artist’s production over the years. The works are accompanied by fact sheets written by two art critics of different generations: the younger critic reviews the early work and vice versa. On this occasion, the two works being compared are "Balconi Meridionali" (southern balconies) of 1987, reviewed by Guglielmo Gigliotti, and “Melancolia verticale” (vertical melancholy) of 2011, reviewed by Laura Cherubini.
