David LaChapelle per Giacomo Ceruti. Nomad in a Beautiful Land
Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo, Brescia. Until November 10, 2023
The exhibition is entitled David LaChapelle per Giacomo Ceruti. Nomad in a Beautiful Land is a photographic exhibition in which the works of David LaChapelle exclusively present an artwork created specifically for the city of Brescia and inspired by Giacomo Ceruti.
Through a dialogue with Ceruti's works, the unprecedented shots by LaChapelle narrate contemporary society through a new language. Together with the series Jesus is my homeboy (2003), LaChapelle's new photography insinuates itself among the present to provide a new, careful and self-conscious interpretation of marginality, thus creating an ode to social decadence.
Playing with an ambivalence of languages, the exhibition aims to structure an exhibition and itinerant architecture, in which the classical universe of Giacomo Ceruti meets the imaginary one of David LaChapelle, in a museum synergy between Fondazione Brescia Musei and the Getty Center that sees Ceruti's pauperistic works land in Los Angeles. This challenge, at the same time, brings the series Jesus is my homeboy (2003), accompanied by LaChapelle's newest work Gated Community, to the Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo.
Classical art and photography open up to dialogue, bringing their formal differences into play for the purpose of shaking up the contemporary. Gated Community, shot in Los Angeles in December 2022, represents an ideological staging of the sacred and the profane, in which a very long tent city, a shelter for the homeless, crowds the city's sidewalks, colouring them with Hollywood opulence.
The World of Banksy
Palazzo Pallavicini, Bologna. Until August 6, 2023
The exhibition The World of Banksy aims to preserve street art so that it is studied and recognized for its important historical role by placing Banksy as the protagonist of the exhibition.
More than 30 murals by the artist are collected at Palazzo Pallavicini and also a special video section that traces the history and social message of the works made by the Bristol-based street artist, on walls, streets and bridges from different places.
Works such as Girl with balloon, Rat and Champagne, Christ with shopping bag, Queen's Guard Pissing, and The Umbrella girl will be exhibited along with 90 other works created by street artists whose concrete work reproduced Banksy's works and the settings on which they appeared.
Roy Lichtenstein. Pop Variations.
Palazzo Tarasconi, Parma. Until June 18, 2023
The exhibition to be held at Palazzo Tarasconi on Roy Lichtenstein entitled Roy Lichtenstein. Pop Variations will trace in chronological order the thematic development that has marked Roy Lichtenstein's artistic production since the 1960s. From comic strips to advertising, but also still life, landscape, forays into abstraction and the forms of the great masters.
Fifty prints, silkscreens, experiments on metal, textiles and sculpture as well as photographs and videos from European and American collections will trace the artistic output of a major exponent of American Pop Art on the occasion of the centenary of the artist's birth.
Among the many works paying homage to Lichtenstein are the most emblematic I Love Liberty from 1982 and Blue Floor from 1990.
Vermeer
Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Until June 4, 2023
An exhibition as never seen before. The Vermeer exhibition displays 28 paintings by the well-known Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer; while few at first glance, Vermeer's artistic output actually numbers around 50 works.
Thanks to this exhibition, most of Vermeer's known artistic production will be viewable in the same place for the first time! Vermeer has been described as the largest exhibition on the artist ever.
What the curators and designers have managed to do is extremely rare, that is, they have told Vermeer's story using his own aesthetic. Combining what is told with how it is told results in an experience that is richer than the mere sum of its parts.
Chagall. Paris - New York.
Atelier des Lumières, Paris. Until January 31, 2024
The exhibition Chagall. Paris - New York is an immersive exhibition dedicated to the prolific painter Marc Chagall. The unique digital exhibition will present his entire body of artwork at the crossroads of the artistic and cultural innovations of his century and in constant renovation, revealing a work rooted in time.
Paris and New York, emblematic capitals of modern art, represent two crucial stages in the artist's long career. Paris was his city of choice and, thanks to the avant-garde movements of the 1910s, provided the young Russian painter with a reservoir of experimental work, which he enriched with his own cultural references. New York was primarily a place of exile during the 1940s, yet it gave new impetus to the artist's creativity. After the war, several exhibitions and major commissions strengthened the ties between Paris and New York and brought Chagall back to the United States, until the 1970s.
During this immersive exhibition, all the themes and images in the artist's repertoire will be projected on the walls of the Atelier des Lumières, as cut-out and woven images. They will be joined by short excerpts of classical, klezmer and jazz music, which were part of Chagall's cultural universe. His fantastical bestiary, his wonderful characters from the circus, fairy tales and opera, as well as biblical episodes and references to Russian culture, poetically evoke the artist's rich life experience, which naturally resonates with the collective experiences of his people and generation.
