Riccardo De Marchi: Fori Romani

Mónica Boixeda Only-Be, Roman

The MACRO Contemporary Art Museum of Rome dedicates a space to the work of the conceptual artist Riccardo De Marchi to show his exhibition ´Riccardo De Marchi: Fori Romani´. The exhibition will be open until the 30th of October and it tries to highlight the work of this artist together with music and art to order the concepts of his works. The exhibition, commissioned by Luca Massimo Barbero and Elena Forin, is part of the expository line of the museum, that tries to put contemporary art and, especially, conceptual art at the disposal of the lovers of art. The exhibition ´Riccardo De Marchi: Fori Romani´ is an interesting piece that follows his line of work with a refined aesthetic very close to design. In it he makes a mixture of what´s ironic and transcendental, organized with texts, perforations and signs that articulate in a recreational narrative. Around this exhibition there are other works, like album covers made on the surface of the museum and that become the support of the perforations that he makes to give life to his ´martian´ writing. Riccardo De Marchi, born in Udine, Italy, in 1964, is a painter that, since 1987, has carried out exhibitions in important museums in Europe and North America. In his conceptual works he goes into the deconstruction of the meanings on the representation of the subconscious, where the communication between the spectator and the artist is reduced to individual representations. De Marchi takes Jacques Derrida´s deconstructionism to give life to his work. Deconstructionism is the thought that he critiques, analysing and revising its words and concepts. Derrida starts from... read more

Edvard Munch at Pompidou

Mónica Boixeda Only-Be, Parisian

Until the 9th of January, 2012 the Pompidou Center in Paris displays the most interesting and diverse work of the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. With this exhibition, the Centre Pompidou seeks to show a different side of the painter, who was famous for his work The Scream, which the critics have typecast in symbolism. In this exhibition we will have the chance to appreciate the most modern of his work through his photography. The exhibition is organized with around a hundred and forty pieces, of which there are about sixty paintings, fifty photographs and several film experiences. It also shows sculptures by Munch for the first time. The interesting thing about this exhibition is the evolution of Munch’s work, who was obsessively remaking or repeating some of his works, while transforming in them, his own style. One of them is Girls on the Bridge, whose seven versions are a permanent dialogue between the artist and his work. In this painting, which belongs to symbolism, you can see some lines that are transformed into a slight expressionist nuance on his work, demonstrating the psychological traits of the artist and his constant search for the symbolic representation of his work. While Munch has been positioned as a symbolist and pre-expressionist of nineteenth century, whose mental anguish and tormented soul led him to paint the darkest side of humanity, the exhibition explores another Munch, who lived far from the active prejudice to transformations and aesthetic debates, opening other windows to the art of his time, through photography and the development of technology around image. His art nouveau style, led him to theater... read more
