Four Artists Dialogue with Renaissance Architecture at Palazzo Ducale

The Galleria Nazionale delle Marche in Urbino's Palazzo Ducale hosts 'Incontro a Palazzo,' a group exhibition featuring Luigi Carboni, Paolo Icaro, Eliseo Mattiacci, and Giovanni Termini, curated by Adele Cappelli. The show occupies the soprallogge, a corridor linking the noble floor's rooms. Each artist was assigned one side of the corridor. Icaro presents 'Linea di equilibrio' (2011), a steel line on the floor held by granite blocks. Mattiacci shows 'Tavole degli alfabeti primari' (1972), ten aluminum tablets engraved with archaic alphabets, previously exhibited at the 1972 Venice Biennale. Carboni displays five canvases from 2012–2018. Termini's 'Ostacoli' (2019) is a site-specific installation of six painted light-blue structures that block passage. Director Peter Aufreiter, who initiated the contemporary art program, announced he will not renew his contract due to lack of government certainty on culture and museums.
