Simon Starling | Metamorfuoco. Sotto la luce del Tintoretto
September 9, 2022 – January 31, 2023
From September 9, 2022 to January 31, 2023 the Estensi Galleries will present the Simon Starling exhibition in the Modena headquarters. Metamorfuoco.Sotto la luce del Tintoretto, an innovative installation that will lead the visitor to an immersive experience thanks to a single work that connects some of the most current themes of our time to the extraordinary artistic heritage of the museum.
The title, in a prophetic way, also refers to the current drought and more generally, to the effects of climate change, becoming an allegory of the contemporary world. Conceived in the context of the Estense Galleries of Modena and inspired by the works of the pictorial cycle of Tintoretto in the Estense Gallery and by the xylographies of the Estense Library, the exhibition is the result of a work of exploration and imagination by a great contemporary artist, in connection with the cultural context of the territory, created with the support of Marazzi for the paving of the work.
