press release
Evoking the title of Jules Verne’s novel, which recent polemics on the actual conquest of the Moon seem to make made even more prophetic, From the Earth to the Moon: Metaphors for Travel presents works that investigate, each in its own original way, the different meanings of the voyage. The exhibition proposes a new interpretation of some works in the permanent collection, many of which were recently acquired and are being presented to the public for the first time. In order to adequately exhibit the breadth of the cultural project that the Museum is developing, with the continuous and generous support of Fondazione CRT Progetto Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, the exhibition is organized into two sections. After Part I, which opened to the public on April 4, Part II of the exhibition will open on May 23, 2007.
The works exhibited in the second part of the show investigate the imagination’s power to open up new territories and art’s capacity to provide models for interpreting or even presaging reality. The exhibition includes over fifty works and large-scale installations by Mario Airò, Giovanni Anselmo, Massimo Bartolini, Gabriele Basilico, Lothar Baumgarten, John Bock, Alighiero Boetti, Jem Cohen, Enzo Cucchi, Roberto Cuoghi, Gino De Dominicis, Thomas Demand, Mario Giacomelli, Rebecca Horn, Roni Horn, Pierre Huyghe, William Kentridge, Anselm Kiefer, Kim Sooja, Mario Merz, Claes Oldenburg - Coosje van Bruggen, Charlemagne Palestine, Giulio Paolini, Thomas Ruff, Thomas Struth, Grazia Toderi, Bill Viola, Yang Fudong and Gilberto Zorio.
The exhibition has been made possible through the support of Fondazione CRT Progetto Arte Moderna e Contemporanea.
