Via Nazionale 194

info@palazzoesposizioni.it
www.palazzoesposizioni.it/

Bill Viola’s work is one of the greatest examples of contemporary art's ability to achieve transcendence, expressing an almost ancestral pietas, a universal and shared mysticism. These feelings are reinforced by his exhibition “Inner Visions,” which sets up a figurative via crucis, or Way of the Cross, its videos' overly theatrical characters; their extremely slowed-down, expanded, or inverted time; their oneiric spaces suffused with light; and their altered sounds convey a suspended, estranged, contemplative atmosphere.

Joan Miró: Painting and Anti-Painting 1927–1937 is the first major museum exhibition to identify the core practices and strategies Miró used to attack painting between 1927 and 1937, a transformative decade within his long career. Taking his notorious claim—“I want to assassinate painting” —as its point of departure, the exhibition explores twelve of Miró’s sustained series from this decade, beginning with a 1927 group of works on canvas that appears to be raw and concluding with 1937’s singular, hallucinatory painting, Still Life with Old Shoe.

Dedicated to one of the most important protagonists of Austrian modernity, the MAK exhibition “GÜNTER BRUS. Midnight Dawn” focuses on hitherto largely unknown individual works and picture-poems dating from the late 1970s and early 1980s. The presented drawings mark a new period in the artist’s production characterized by a variety that reveals the actionist, self-mutilator, book illustrator, picture-poet, word/image artist, draftsman, and painter, as well as the ironic, sarcastic contemporary wielding his pen as formerly his razor blade.
