Bruno Munari's Light Projections Unveiled in Naples
For the first time in Naples, the Plart Foundation presents an exhibition of Bruno Munari's light projections, including 'Proiezioni a luce fissa' and 'Proiezioni a luce polarizzata' from the 1950s. The show, marking the twentieth anniversary of Munari's death, is organized in collaboration with the Fondazione Donnaregina per le arti contemporanee as part of the 2018 edition of Progetto XXI. The works were digitized for preservation due to their fragile material condition, revealing an unknown aspect of Munari's research and filling gaps in the history of contemporary art, especially at the intersection of art and technology.
