Claritudo: Contemporary Art in Milan's Basilica di San Celso
The exhibition 'Claritudo' at the Basilica di San Celso in Milan harmoniously introduces contemporary art into a sacred space, featuring ten works by five artists around themes of light and transparency. Jacopo Mazzonelli presents a wooden door as a concrete and metaphysical threshold, and a sculpture evoking music's lightness. Satoshi Hirose offers the most environmental intervention with organic and inorganic materials. Elisabeth Scherffig's heads explore fullness and emptiness with an alchemical flavor. Antonio Trotta contributes marble books, and Maria Lai presents her characteristic sewn fabric book, both reflecting on the arduous path to knowledge. The show, curated by Stefano Castelli, runs in the historic basilica, a venue worth visiting in itself.
