Aere: 26 Artists Explore the Concept of Air in Perugia

At the Museo Civico Palazzo Penna in Perugia, the exhibition titled 'Aere' showcases the interpretations of air by 26 artists. Curated by Massimo Mattioli, it begins with Luca Vitone's piece 'Io, Villa Adriana.' Artists such as Edoardo Cialfi, Elvio Chiricozzi, and Giacinto Gigante illustrate air through their portrayals of landscapes and clouds. Aldo Grazzi presents 'Ruota e rifletti,' which envisions air as a realm of potential. An essay by Sara Taglialagamba in the catalog examines the depiction of air from the Middle Ages to Leonardo da Vinci. Contemporary contributions include Arcangelo Sassolino's compressed tire and Leandro Erlich's fragmented cloud, alongside works like Piero Manzoni's deflated balloons and Mariateresa Sartori's anemometer recordings. Daniele Capra covers the exhibition.
