Bill Viola, Inner visions
until tuesday january 06 2009
info@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. |
