Casa Masaccio Honors Cinzia Ruggeri with Comprehensive Retrospective
Casa Masaccio in San Giovanni Valdarno is currently showcasing an important exhibition called 'Cinzia Ruggeri … per non restare immobili,' which Rita Selvaggio has curated. This exhibition is backed by the Archivio Cinzia Ruggeri, Galleria Federico Vavassori, and Aldo Lanzini, and will later appear at Kunstverein Langenhagen in 2021. It explores Ruggeri's imaginative and eclectic creations, featuring works like 'Abito giallo a scale' from around 1980, along with mirrored elements, flamingos, and her beloved schnauzer, Scherzi. The show links her to artists like Joan Jonas and Laurie Anderson, highlighting her concept of 'organic dressing.' It also includes a video titled 'Per un vestire organico,' co-directed with Marco Poma, and Georg Brintrup’s film 'Camera del sonno,' which features Ruggeri. Her quote, 'The only way to survive is to have no temporal identity,' sums up her timeless outlook.
