Federico De Leonardis's Spatial Inquiry at Galleria Michela Rizzo

Federico De Leonardis (La Spezia, 1938) presents 'Carcere d'invenzione VIII' at Galleria Michela Rizzo in Venice, running until May 28, 2016. The exhibition uses objects worn by use and found in marble quarries as tools for spatial investigation, a practice the artist began in 1978. The entire gallery is anchored to this project, which metaphorically traverses and declares its structure and emptying. Mathematical calculations of chain curves create a suspended discourse, while fissures offering glimpses produce another suspension, emblematic of a deafening indefinite. The show is part of a series of weekly and biweekly columns on the art market, urban regeneration, and cultural tourism by Artribune.
