MACTE in Termoli hosts Nanda Vigo's latest exhibition project

The MACTE - Museum of Contemporary Art in Termoli reopens the exhibition Nanda Vigo Light Project 2020 on Wednesday, May 20, and dedicates it to the great artist who passed away in these days. The exhibition is curated by Laura Cherubini and realized in collaboration with theNanda Vigo Archive: it is thelast exhibition project realized by the artist herself.

Tracing some significant moments of Nanda Vigo’s research from the 1970s to the present, the exhibition celebrates one of the most remarkable Italian figures of her generation, a pioneer of experimentation between art, architecture and design.

Key to the interpretation of the entire exhibition is precisely the work Sintagma, in glass, mirror and neon, with which she won the Termoli Prize in 1976.
The works on display are arranged, on the one hand, according to a unified exhibition design that is attentive to the architecture of the museum, while on the other hand they demonstrate the relationship between two groups of works linked, also linguistically, by light.
The first group consists of works calledTriggers of the space, of which Sintagma himself is a part, which the artist has made from the 1970s to the present, in a continuous search for new space and new time. True sculptures of light and specular reflections composed of two distinct but inseparable elements. The second group includes among others the work Light Progressions, Trilogy: Homage to Gio Ponti, Lucio Fontana and Piero Manzoni (1993), made of glass and neon. It is a tribute to two artists and an architect, who accompanied her in her work and life.

The exhibition merges the works into a unified narrative: the dark space of the MACTE’s circular room, lit exclusively by the light of the works, immersing visitors in the artist’s universe.

Nanda Vigo Light Project can be visited until September 13, 2020.
Until June 30, free admission.
