GALLERIA VEZZOLI
29 May – 24 November 2013
MAXXI, MoMA PS1 in New York and MOCA in Los Angeles are now for the first time collaborating on this new over-ambitious project, aptly titled TheTrinity. The first extensive international retrospective show of Francesco Vezzoli, displaying 15 years of work in three separate but related exhibitions, each one examining in depth the fundamental aspects of his body of work.
The futuristic spaces of MAXXI in Rome will be transformed into a over-decorated 1800’s style museum.The exhibition, titled GALLERIA VEZZOLI (29 May – 24 November 2013), will focus especially on Vezzoli’s vocation to artistic quotation, with a specific section dedicated to the artist’s self-portraits.
A real deconsecrated XIX century church, originally built in the south of Italy, will be deconstructed and re-located in the yard of MoMAPS1. This giant and spellbinding installation will host the evidences of Vezzoli’s own artistic cult: THE CHURCH OF VEZZOLI
Lastly, MOCA (LA) will open CINEMA VEZZOLI, an exhibition which will outline Vezzoli’s attitude in playing with the world of classic European cinema and contemporary Hollywood stardom as a way of mirroring today’s obsession with fame, politics and the public exposure of private issues.
Each exhibition will open at short distance one from the other, unveiling for the very first time the whole complexity of Vezzoli’s world step by step, continent by continent, until the three shows will be exceptionally open at the same time.
