Marco Maria Zanin's 'Acacia' at Reggio Emilia's Palazzo dei Musei

At the Palazzo dei Musei in Reggio Emilia, Marco Maria Zanin (born 1983) showcases 'Acacia,' an exhibition that intertwines contemporary art, archaeology, and personal recollections. Curated by Irene Biolchini, Alessandro Gazzotti, and Giada Pellegrini, this project is backed by PAC2024 and endorsed by the Ministero della Cultura. The focal point is an imagined funerary trousseau that connects with artifacts from the Museo Gaetano Chierici di Paletnologia. Various materials, including ceramics, bronze, glass, fabric, and photography, represent the journey from grief to renewal. Biolchini characterizes Acacia as a specter, blending tomb artifacts with the trousseau. Collaborations with artisans from Fondazione Cologni feature ceramics by Antonino Negri and bronzes by Tuorlo. The exhibition is open until July 27, 2025.
