Maurizio Mochetti's '30 Progetti, 2 Realizzazioni' Opens at Contemporary Cluster

Maurizio Mochetti (Rome, 1940) presents '30 Progetti, 2 Realizzazioni' at Contemporary Cluster's new Rome venue, opening December 18. The exhibition, with critical text by Alberto Mugnaini, echoes his 1968 debut '10 Progetti, 2 Realizzazioni' at Galleria La Salita di Gian Tommaso Liverani. Mochetti, a veteran of seven Biennales, views art as an obsession and a cure. He argues that true art ended with Duchamp and criticizes contemporary artists for prioritizing fame over authenticity. He laments the lack of enlightened patrons and cultural preparation. Mochetti's work explores space, light, and relativity, creating immersive sensory experiences. The show features thirty projects (which he considers artworks) and two realized pieces, emphasizing that projects are integral to the final work.
