On the Matter, a thematic exhibition, from an idea of Matteo Lorenzelli with the curatorship of Ilaria Bignotti, is developed in the spaces of lorenzelli arte in two exhibition moments, intended to shed light on the declinations and motivations that drive historical and contemporary artists to use in their research one or more materials in an innovative, coherent, repeated and in some cases even obsessive way.
The first path is devoted to artistic investigations from the first half of the twentieth century to the postmodern era; the second stage of the exhibition, on the other hand, opens the curtain on current artists, many of them mid-career and internationally recognized, but also offers a perspective on some more recent research that nevertheless demonstrates maturity and coherence around the exhibition theme.
