Marcello Maloberti's 'Martellate' at Triennale Milano

Marcello Maloberti (born 1966 in Codogno) presents 'Martellate' at Triennale Milano until April 25. The exhibition features his signature poetic and disorienting phrases displayed as written texts held by clamps, creating a bas-relief effect. The immersive installation combines these 'hammer blows' with a vinyl record by XING (Bologna) titled 'LYDIA MANCINELLI LEGGE MARCELLO MALOBERTI. MARTELLATE SCRITTI FIGHI 1990-2020', where actress Lydia Mancinelli reads Maloberti's writings. Curated by Damiano Gullì, the show occupies the Impluvium space and includes a sound component. Maloberti describes the phrases as 'almost aphorisms, poetic and philosophical slogans' that reflect contemporary fragmented reading habits. He critiques the art world's obsession with design and fashion, calling for a return to poetry and warning against anesthetized art. The exhibition builds on previous iterations at Procida's Malincuore and Raffaella Cortese gallery.
