Free entrance.
Fondazione Nicola Trussardi at Palazzo Dugnani
Via Daniele Manin 2, Milan - Italy
The exhibition will present fourteen films, including two commissioned and produced by Fondazione Nicola Trussardi.With help from the Museo d'Arte Moderna di Bologna, Dean was invited to visit the studio of the painter, Giorgio Morandi, recently reinstalled in the apartment in Bologna where he lived and worked for fifty years. Still Life (2009), a film in black and white, focuses on the meticulous markings and measurements found on the paper Morandi placed underneath his objects. Day for Night (2009) looks at the objects themselves. Unable to touch or move them, Dean filmed them singly, making random groupings in contrast to Morandi's studied and mathematically rigorous compositions.In 2002, Tacita Dean made what became the first in a series of portrait films, Mario Merz (2002) -
an intimate moment with the master of Arte Povera, to be shown for the first time in Milan, the city of his birth.
