Fernando De Filippi's 'Sinonimi' Exhibition at Museo Nuova Era, Bari

The exhibition 'Sinonimi' at Museo Nuova Era in Bari, curated by Salvatore Luperto and Anna Panareo, showcases the sixty-year career of artist Fernando De Filippi (born 1940 in Lecce, based in Milan). The show aligns with Herbert Marcuse's theories on art as a revolutionary social practice, featuring works from the late 1970s including photographs of Marxist slogans on banners and posters from the 'affissioni selvagge' (wild postering) campaign, as well as recent fire-letter sculptures reading 'Arte' and 'Ground Zero'. On October 28, 2021, the book 'Da Brera al Fuoco' (Edizioni Milella) was presented at the opening. De Filippi's trajectory spans from Informel to neo-figuration to militant art, synthesizing painting, photography, performance, sculpture, and installation.
