Martino Genchi's 'Raccogli la cosa nell’occhio' at Bologna's Medieval Museum
Martino Genchi (born 1982 in Milan) presents 'Raccogli la cosa nell’occhio' at the Museo Civico Medievale in Bologna. The exhibition juxtaposes 14th- and 16th-century sculptural artifacts with contemporary geometric metal inserts fixed to walls with tie rods. Genchi explores the relationship between presence and absence, using missing parts of historical artworks as pretexts to narrate the passage of time. The installation alters the geometric relationship between works and space, inviting viewers to engage with imaginative presences-absences. The show is reviewed by Lavinia Morisco for Artribune.
