Alessandro Brighetti's 'De Rerum Sculptura' at Gaba Mc in Macerata

Alessandro Brighetti (Bologna, 1978) presents his solo exhibition 'De Rerum Sculptura' at Gaba Mc in Macerata, exploring science, kinetics, and magnetism through installations that evoke the energy synthesis of autotrophic organisms, as seen in the work 'Passiflora'. The exhibition references a 1914 debate on Lacerba between Umberto Boccioni and Giovanni Papini about incorporating real objects into painting, arguing for expanded creative possibilities. Brighetti's work conveys a clear message: today's energy needs can and should rely on new renewable sources. He dramatizes this by tearing electrical cables from walls and unplugging them as if cutting an umbilical cord. The show is reviewed by Emanuele Gurini, an art critic and independent curator from Loreto (1989), who specializes in contemporary art, art theory, and the relationship between visual arts and new technologies.
