Daniele Lombardi and Nanni Balestrini Dual Exhibition at MACRO Rome

The MACRO museum in Rome is currently showcasing individual exhibitions from two Italian artists: Daniele Lombardi and Nanni Balestrini. Born in Florence in 1946, Lombardi, a composer, delves into Futurist music through concepts like "invisible music" and "visual listening," incorporating video and performance elements. His display features a piano encircled by drawings that act as scores, enabling musicians to reinterpret music "by perception." Nanni Balestrini, born in Milan in 1935 and introduced by Achille Bonito Oliva, began his Dadaist explorations in the 1960s, transforming texts into spoken art. His exhibition, "La Tempesta Perfetta," alludes to Giorgione's "The Tempest," highlighting complex references and a critique of socio-political issues, reflecting the disorder of meaning and the symbolic collapse of Renaissance ideals.
