Palazzo Collicola, Saturday 11 February, h 11.00am
On Saturday 11 February at 11.00 a.m. at Palazzo Collicola, the catalogue of Klaus Münch’s exhibition Nel più ampio cerchio in qualche luogo (Somewhere In The Widest Circle), still open until Sunday 12, will be presented. The catalogue is published by Forma Edizioni.
Marco Tonelli, Accademia Belle Arti di Venezia, Bruno Corà, curator of the exhibition, and Aldo Iori, Accademia Belle Arti di Perugia, will be present.
The exhibition consists of about fifty works including large drawings, PVC sheets and semi-transparent and mirrored coloured resin sculptures created between 1987 and 2022, installed in the ground-floor spaces of Palazzo Collicola, is a journey through organic and cosmic, artificial and spontaneous, synthetic and bacterial forms of life, in which the gaze, through perturbing but also extraordinarily realistic forms, can read aspects of our universe/world which are less visible yet more laden with implications.
