Aldo Loris Rossi’s Radical Architecture Takes Over MADRE in Gucci-Sponsored Show
In Naples, the MADRE – Museo d’Arte contemporanea Donnaregina, in partnership with Gucci, unveils “Il resto di niente,” an exhibition that delves into architecture as a human-centric experience. The focus is on Aldo Loris Rossi (1933–2018), a Neapolitan architect and theorist celebrated for his radical, futurist, and expressionist style from the 1960s. His notable works, including the Casa del Portuale (1968–1980), merge brutalist forms with visionary urban concepts. The display features drawings by Rossi and Donatella Mazzoleni, examining modular housing. Over a dozen contemporary artists contribute, showcasing pieces like Franco Mazzucchelli’s inflatable sculptures and Sara Persico’s sound installation. The exhibition, curated by Elizabeth Germana Arthur, is ongoing at MADRE.
