Giulio Paolini's Seventh Show at Massimo Minini in Brescia
Giulio Paolini, born in Genoa in 1940, showcases his seventh exhibition titled 'Momenti della verità' (Moments of Truth) at Galleria Massimo Minini in Brescia, running from November 2022 to January 2023. This event marks nearly five decades of partnership with the gallery. The exhibition contemplates the gallery's layout, divided into four sections akin to song verses, encapsulating collective memories. Departing from his typical materials, Paolini's art unveils the hidden essence of the space through echoes and imprints. At the entrance, a plexiglass parallelepiped mirrors the room's dimensions, while an outline of a figure is presented on the opposite wall. The remaining spaces display a mix of symbols that suggest a vision extending towards infinity.
