Michele Chiossi's Symbolic Universe at Macerata

Michele Chiossi (Lucca, 1970) presents a solo exhibition in Macerata, where his work reinterprets everyday symbols, inviting viewers to become active participants. The artist's practice transcends materiality, prioritizing discourse over substance. Notable pieces include a large wood and marble structure and a soft cloth moved by an invisible breeze, both referencing the opening scenes of the film *Il Gattopardo*. The inscription "Marble Exquise" on the side of the work echoes the style of stamps on parmesan cheese forms, alongside other cinematic references. Chiossi also creates marble images with sharp edges reminiscent of virtual pixels, given lightness through a careful interplay of neon lights. The exhibition is reviewed by Emanuele Gurini (Loreto, 1989), an art critic and independent curator focusing on visual arts and new technologies.
