Salto nel vuoto. Arte al di là della materia

2023

Italian

Third chapter of the “Trilogy of Matter”, conceived by Lorenzo Giusti for the GAMeC in Bergamo, the book was published on the occasion of the exhibition “A Leap into the Void. Art beyond Matter”, curated by Lorenzo Giusti and Domenico Quaranta.

The exhibition explores the theme of the dematerialization, with a transversal tale that triggers a connection between those investigations into the void, initiated by the first movements of the historical avant-garde and developed by experimental groups post-World War II, the investigations into flux undertaken in the years of early computerization, and the use of new languages and simulated realities in the post-digital era.

The show presents the works of some of the leading protagonists from the history of twentieth-century art, as well as pioneers of digital art, together with artists from more recent generations, thanks to loans from important international institutions, and from private collections.
