PERCEPTIVE SENSITIVITIES IN THE WORKS OF GRAZIA VARISCO

Grazia Varisco’s works are fundamental to the development of kinetic and programmed art.
Since her early days, when the artist joined Gruppo T in Milan in the early 1960s, she has been interested in the themes of perception and experimentation.

“In my experience ‘chance’ creeps, like a confused tangle, between probability and doubt. Chance’ avoids, attempts to dodge ‘chaos’ and settle in space and time, ignoring the rule that demands precision, regularity, orthogonality, order, chronological sequence. My ‘If…’, doubtful, lurks in the fold of the page that by ‘chance’ disrupts the rule that in typography and bookbinding cages everything in normality”.

With these words, Grazia Varisco presents the contents of her research. In this post we discover her works.

THE MAX ERNST EXHIBITION IN MILAN

The breadth of themes and experimentation in Max Ernst’s work spans seventy years of 20th century history, between Europe and the United States, eluding any definition.
The Max Ernst exhibition in Milan is the first major Italian retrospective dedicated to an artist who was a visionary interpreter of art history, philosophy, science and alchemy.

Max Ernst was to all intents and purposes a humanist in the neo-Renaissance sense, and in this exhibition his works allow us to delve into every aspect of his life and work.
