NICO VASCELLARI. REVENGE AND DESCENT
09.06.2018 - 02.09.2018

curated by Bartolomeo Pietromarchi

The same three-dimensional space/sculpture enclosing a multiplicity of linguistic codes. MAXXI is reproposing the presentation of Revenge, the work with which Nico Vascellari, one of the protagonists of the younger generations in Italian art, won the 2007 edition of the Prize for Young Italian Art.
The work, presented at the Venice Biennale that year, contains all the typical motifs of the artist’s oeuvre, such as its relational, environmental and performative nature and the use of expressive media that range from the most advanced technology to the poorest of materials.
