A new exhibition is forthcoming in the Sala delle Ciminiere at MAMbo – Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna, from October 4 2019 to January 6 2020: Un certo numero di cose / A Certain Number of Things, is a project by Cesare Pietroiusti, curated by Lorenzo Balbi with the curatorial assistance of Sabrina Samorì, and promoted by MAMbo. The project is the winner of the 4th edition of Italian Council (2018), a competition conceived by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Art and Architecture and Urban Peripheries (DGAAP) – an organism of the Italian Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities, to promote Italian contemporary art in the world. The idea for the exhibition (the first survey on the Italian artist in a museum institution) originated in a reflection on the very notion of the retrospective - whether it is possible to represent the evolution of an artist’s research in such a format, with sections corresponding to “year-objects”, starting from the artist’s year of birth.
