Espressioni. The Proposition includes the works of 50 artists from different periods and many parts of the the world. The artists in this exhibition share an interest in highly expressive – and sometimes expressionist – forms of art.
The artists range from exasperated individualism to romantic melancholy, from deformed interpretations of the body and of the everyday to fierce social critiques. It is as if they feel the need to verify their own vitality in the face of the world’s difficulties. The exhibition layout on the first and third floors of the Castello building, as well as in the Manica Lunga exhibition space, activates unprecedented relationships between artworks of different historical periods, emphasizing the multiple ways in which artists express emotional and bodily states. The exhibition also focuses on techniques and materials across a wide range of painting, sculpture, collage, video, performance and virtual reality projects.
