Wolfgang Laib. Without Time, Without Place, Without Body
Wolfgang Laib – one of the protagonists of contemporary research in art – dialogues with the great masters of the past, Filippo Brunelleschi, Leon Battista Alberti, Benozzo Gozzoli and Beato Angelico, giving life, within the historic center of Florence, to one of the most extended in recent years.
His sculptures, with a minimal and abstract language made with natural materials such as beeswax and pollen, will be installed for the first time in four places of extraordinary historical and artistic value: San Marco Museum (Tuscany Museum Pole), Chapel dei Magi (Palazzo Medici Riccardi), Cappella Rucellai (church of San Pancrazio, Museo Marino Marini) and Cappella Pazzi (Monumental Complex of Santa Croce), in a relationship played entirely on sensitivity and subtle perceptions between the visible of art and the invisible of the spirit, which ideally links Renaissance magnificence with contemporary artistic research.
The exhibition Without Time, Without Place, Without Body (25.10.2019 – 26.01.2020), curated by Sergio Risaliti and produced by Museo Novecento, establishes the design identity of the institution which extends its scientific and cultural action beyond the spaces in Piazza Santa Maria Novella, in a concept of a widespread museum that makes it unique on the national scene.
