Rome, the Chiostro del Bramante dedicates an exhibition to Michelangelo Pistoletto

The Chiostro del Bramante in Rome hosts, from March 18 to October 15, 2022, the exhibition Michelangelo Pistoletto. Infinity, dedicated to Michelangelo Pistoletto (Biella, 1933), the great master ofArte Povera and curated by Danilo Eccher. Fifty works and four large site-specific installations will compose the path that recounts nearly 60 years of art and almost 90 years of life. A narrative path, according to the approach of the projects curated by Danilo Eccher and produced by DART - Chiostro del Bramante, complete and fascinating. Certainly not a traditional exhibition but a narrative, an experience that through Michelangelo Pistoletto’s iconic works, from the historic to the most recent, from 1966 to 2023, accompanies a journey inside the poetics and the world, the many worlds, of one of the masters of contemporary art.

An infinity of ways of making art, an infinity of ways of seeing, of changing perspective, of reading reality: this is the meaning of the title of the exhibition that sees at the center a single artist but in his many possibilities of being, of transforming, of depicting and representing himself, of telling. “A collective exhibition of a single artist,” in the words of the curator, because “in diversity I multiplied myself,” as the artist declares.

Michelangelo Pistoletto will be 90 years old in 2023, and Chiostro del Bramante declares that “it is an honor to inaugurate this new exhibition season with one of his great shows, an opportunity to be able to share with the public the master’s historical works in dialogue with Renaissance architecture as well as new productions, created ad hoc for the spaces of the Chiostro, which will surprise with their tireless creative energy.”

The works within the exhibition span almost the entire career of Pistoletto, from the 1960s with Metrocubo di Infinito, Venere degli Stracci, Orchestra di stracci and Labirinto, the 1970s with L’Etrusco and the series of Porte Segno Arte along with Autoritratto di Stelle to more recent works. In the 1990s the Books, in the 2000s the Mirror Paintings in addition to projects related to the formula of creation, Love Difference - Mediterranean Sea and Neon, and the Third Paradise.
