Fabrizio Plessi's Digital Wall at Kunsthalle Recklinghausen
Fabrizio Plessi, a pioneer of digital and new media art in Italy, presents 'Digital Wall' at Kunsthalle Recklinghausen as part of the Ruhr Festival. The exhibition is a re-edition of the same show held from May to September 2015 in Milan at Banca Generali Private Banking. Plessi, born in Reggio Emilia in 1940 and long based in Venice, has a special relationship with Germany, highlighted by his 2004 retrospective 'Traumwelt' at Martin Gropius Bau in Berlin, which attracted 400,000 visitors. The show features digital walls—screens (100x60x4 cm each) mounted like large mosaics displaying videos of water, fire, and lava, typical of his expressive style. Plessi has participated in 14 Venice Biennales. The exhibition runs until August 7.
