I am with that curve of that mountain which I see reflected in this lake of glass. At Mario’s table

Marisa Merz’s entire Roman experience will be presented within the exhibition thanks to the photographs of Claudio Abate, who has documented the artist’s shows and actions since the Sixties.

The exhibition will cover Marisa’s entire creative horizon: from her ‘knitted’ copper threads to her nylon sculptures and wax installations. Merz’s world will be explored in its every expression in an attempt to reinstate her asystematic yet extremely coherent character.

To that effect, a fundamental role will be played by the section dedicated to her painting where pieces created in recent years will be on display, revealing an inexhaustible creativity that makes room for use of the most varied materials: from acrylic to plastic, from paper to metal. Now approaching the age of 90, Marisa Merz still displays extraordinary creative energy which sees her still committed to her work every day. From large-scale pieces to ‘indoor’ work, the artist’s language remains extremely vital and forward-thinking.
