SPAZIO TOTALE. Art in its purest form
From Lucio Fontana to Günther Uecker

September 26 – November 13, 2024
Cortesi Gallery, Via Nassa 62, Lugano

The exhibition SPAZIO TOTALE. Art in its purest form. From Lucio Fontana to Günther Uecker opens to the public on Thursday, September 26 at the Cortesi Gallery in Lugano.

The exhibition celebrates the expressive purity of white and its materiality, providing visitors with a deep exploration of art through total abstraction. The show's focus is the power of the monochrome surface and the artists who have explored various techniques, materials, textures, and forms, uniquely highlighting responsiveness to light and shadow.

The exhibition also include a rare fiberglass sculpture by Arnaldo Pomodoro, Foglio 1/A (1966), part of the Foundation Collection. In this innovative material, the artist finds great possibilities for expression. The work explores the relationship that the Maestro has always sought with writing. The reference and the meaning contain a story, a thought that alludes to modern communication. A world of reading possibilities that act as a medium for a universal message transmitted through the simplicity and purity of the material. The interaction introduces a symbolic moment of anthropological memory, where the technological joins the archaic element.
