Flying Words: Five Artists Explore Language at Osart Gallery, Milan

Curated by Antonello Tolve, the exhibition 'Flying Words' at Osart Gallery in Milan brings together works from the 1960s onward by five Italian artists who investigate the relationship between word and image. The show features Mirella Bentivoglio's iconic 'Libro uovo' (1980), Vincenzo Agnetti's 'Libro dimenticato a memoria' (1970), and Tomaso Binga's 'Dieci Comandamenti' spanning an entire wall. Other artists include Maria Lai, who sews words, and Emilio Isgrò, who erases them. The exhibition emphasizes how language becomes image and vice versa, with the book medium central to many works. The installation is clean and well-designed, allowing diverse materials to coexist and dialogue. The show runs at Osart Gallery in Milan.
