The Fondazione Museo Ettore Guatelli in Ozzano Taro, Parma, inaugurated 'Essere a tempo' on May 23, a solo exhibition by Mario Cresci curated by Alessandro Cuomo as part of the Guatelli Contemporaneo series. The show presents a selection of Cresci's key research cycles, including 'Interni Mossi', 'Ritratti Reali', and 'Misurazioni', spanning from the 1960s onward.
