The Marino Marini Museum dedicates an entire day to light on the occasion of the summer solstice

On the occasion of the summer solstice, on Monday, June 21, the Marino Marini Museum will dedicate an entire day to light through two unprecedented moments organized within its spaces.

In line with his metaluce program, conceived for the Marini Museum as Visiting Director 2021, artist Mario Nanni will spend the entire day inside the museum space photographing and constructing his personal narrative through the natural light that, over the course of twenty-four hours, will filter through the Museum’s large windows.

Mario Nanni incorporates into his vision for the Marini Museum the concept of “metaluce,” a philosophical thought that accompanies his work and his personality as a designer-artist-author, as he likes to call himself. “This is my continuous cross-cultural research,” Mario Nanni declares, “my philosophy of life, ’designing voice of the verb to love: designing is not just a professional activity, it is a way of being, of thinking, of acting, of doing, always being able to question oneself, to look for a new way to build something that does not exist, to ask oneself every time ’why not?’”.
Mario Nanni’s metaluce transcends the subject matter and creates a unique narrative in which different arts come together within the museum.

On the same day, Mario Nanni and Francesco dal Co, architectural historian, former Director of the Architecture Biennale and Director of Casabella, will discuss the theme of the universal artist in a daylight dialogue inside the museum from 7:30 p.m. to 9:01 p.m., sunset time.

“The universal artist is the illuminated artist,” says Patrizia Asproni, President of the Marino Marini Museum, “admirable synthesis of past and future. And it is on the day of the summer solstice, a fateful date for the ancients dedicated to profound nature, that the museum celebrates the light of talent: that of the creative genius of Leon Battista Alberti, an enlightened architect, and of the artist Marino Marini, whose marvelous sculptures express its most accomplished synthesis, but also of Nanni and Dal Co themselves who, with their capacity for vision, are able to give life to extraordinary works in a harmonious proportion between light and art.”

The meeting with Mario Nanni and Francesco dal Co can be followed both in presence and remotely through al webex platform. Reservation required at www.museomarinomarini.it
