The Memory of Things, curated by Massimo Ferrari.<br\/>Following its presentation at a number of prestigious Italian venues, such as the MAN in Nuoro with the exhibition *Infosfera* and the exhibition *Alfredo Casali, Giovanni Fabbri*. Geographies life, territory, history at the Magazzini del sale in Cervia, Alfredo Casali returns to the city of his origins to offer a project that traces the main stages of his poetics. The exhibition restores the transition from the years of abstractionism inspired by Novelli and Twombly, to the moment when visual poetry takes over, to the moment of figuration linked to Giorgio Morandi&#8217;s iconography, to the more recent minimalist and geometric reflection, focused on sign, form and matter as the basic elements of the language of painting itself.<br\/>The installation designed by curator Massimo Ferrari with Claudia Tinazzi, Annalucia D&#8217;Erchia and Pedro Escoriza Torralbo (Politecnico di Milano, Department ABC) imagines constructing within the Renaissance architecture of the church of Sant&#8217;Agostino, now Volumnia, some autonomous spaces expressive of the recurring themes in Casali&#8217;s works, small architectures within the majestic basilica architecture that guide and accompany the visitor in a continuous experience between inside and outside. To complement the artist\u2019s exploration, the curator has devised an exhibition layout strongly structured around the recurring archetypal elements in Casali\u2019s painting\u2014such as the house, the landscape, trees, clouds, tables, blackboards and the human figure\u2014each grouped within corresponding spaces.<br\/>The resulting exhibition layout offers an evocative and highly dramatic design, distributed throughout the venue in narrative microcosms that are, at the same time, interconnected to provide an anthological overview of the artist\u2019s poetics. Enriching the set-up is the specially designed lighting design by Davide Groppi, which enhances its features.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edited by Massimo Ferrari Volumnia, the exhibition space dedicated to art and design inside the church of Sant&#8217;Agostino in the heart of Piacenza, opens on Nov. 11 a solo exhibition dedicated to Alfredo Casali entitled Alfredo Casali.
