Genius Loci – Maestri di Sardegna at MACC Calasetta
The MACC museum in Calasetta presents 'Genius Loci – Maestri di Sardegna', curated by Efisio Carbone (new artistic director of MACC), Roberta Vanali, and Giorgio Dettori. The exhibition explores the Sardinian genius loci through works by Maria Lai (recently shown at the Venice Biennale), Ottonello (referencing Sulcis mining history), Fancello, Nivola, Ruben Montini, Sciola (sonorous stones), and Lalla Lussu (bark pieces capturing wind and salicornia scent). Supported by the Fondazione di Sardegna, the show integrates with the permanent collection, including a selection of works by Sardinian artists from the Fondazione MACC, reinforcing ties to the territory in line with the museum's mission envisioned by Ermanno Leinardi.
