Sculptures Also Die / Anche le sculture muoiono

 - Sculptures Also Die / Anche le sculture muoiono
Twelve international artists forge a reflection on the meaning, the potential and the new experimental approaches in sculpture today.
Contemporary artists tend to use new forms and materials to address a broader time span in an ongoing dialogue between the past and the future; yet at the same time, the exhibition “Sculptures Also Die” reflects on the way in which today's artists are also rediscovering such materials as bronze, stone or ceramic, that appeared to have been relegated to the purely academic sphere. These materials are rediscovered and used in a conceptual manner to reflect on such themes as the monument, the fragment, the way materials wear over time, and the recovery of the recent modernist past.
Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at the Centre for Contemporary Culture Strozzina, Palazzo Strozzi, Florence, from April to July 2015.
