Arnaldo Pomodoro
Un centesimo di secondo
December 2, 2016 - February 4, 2017
Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro, Via Vigevano 9, Milano
On the occasion of the major retrospective celebrating Arnaldo Pomodoro’s 90th birthday, the Fondazione Marconi pays tribute to this important 20th-century figure by presenting again the exhibition A Hundredth of a Second, held in 1971 at Studio Marconi. The show focused on Pomodoro’s research into the movement of sculptural masses and included a selection of works created between 1966 and 1971 (large drawings, studies, steel and fiberglass sculptures), on loan from the Arnaldo Pomodoro Foundation Collection.
Forty-five years later — declared Giorgio Marconi — the “collapse movement” studied by Pomodoro between the 1960s and 1970s, captured for a hundredth of a second in the “monumentally still” volume of the sculptural mass, is still before our eyes. A poetic invention still relevant today, surprising and moving, it overturns every established order and, against all the laws of statics, allows us to grasp the suspension of the moment, of a becoming that will never take place.
