Paolo Icaro. Faredisfarerifarevedere

Graziella Lonardi Buontempo Hall – admittance free subject to availability of places
myMAXXI cardholders may reserve places by writing to mymaxxi@fondazionemaxxi.it by the day before the event (10 places available)

Paolo Icaro’s entire creative career in a thematic presentation shedding light on his poetic from the Sixties through to the present

Paolo Icaro’s research has provided a wholly original contribution to the idioms that developed in the Sixties and Seventies, including Arte Povera, Conceptual Art and Process Art, with a particular emphasis on the renewal of contemporary sculpture.

The monograph Faredisfarerifarevedere edited by Lara Conte, is born out of decades-long research into the works and the materials in the artist’s archive: previously unpublished material, the artist’s writings, a critical anthology and bio-bibliographical apparatus.
