Where to Start From
Maurizio Nannucci - Where to Start From is open until October 18, 2015 at MAXXI in Rome, Italy.
Curated by Bartolomeo Pietromarchi, the exhibition Where to Start From explores, with works both early and recent, the importance and the central position of Nannucci’s artistic research. Two new installations were made for this occasion, including the sound installation Sound Samples and More than meets the eye, a large-scale work for MAXXI’s facade which, thanks to Amici del MAXXI, will join the museum collection.
Since the 1960s, Maurizio Nannucci, a point of reference for many generations of artists, architects, musicians, critics and curators, has examined the relationship between art, language, and image. His research, which has always been characterized by the dialogue between the various disciplines, explores the relationship between light, color, sound and both real and imagined space, which becomes particularly evident in his large neon writings. Nannucci’s work is conceptual – it is an exploration between culture and society, with a close connection between architecture and urban landscape – whose language restores a symbolic and spatial value to the single words.
