Mario Merz. Città Irreale – Unreal City, Gallerie dell'Accademia, through 20 September, 2015
The Italian artist Mario Merz was one of the most notable representatives of the Arte Povera art movement that took place in the 1960s and 70s. The exhibition “Città Irreale – Unreal City” showcases Merz's artistic studies of space – one's personal living space, public and urban spaces, and even outer space. Structured chronologically, the exhibition allows one to follow the development of Merz's poetic visions, from his first studies of objects and architecture, to his large-scale environmental installations. This exhibition also marks the grand opening of the new exhibiting rooms of the Gallerie dell'Accademia.
