Michele De Lucchi's 'Cataste' at Antonia Jannone, Milan
Michele De Lucchi (Ferrara, 1951) presents his latest solo exhibition at Galleria Antonia Jannone in Milan, centered on the concept of 'catasta' (stack). The show features models and preparatory drawings placed on tall blue plinths, exploring stacks as architectural constructions. De Lucchi describes these stacks as 'real constructions, small houses or real cathedrals with large roofs covering them, holding the pieces together and sheltering from rain and snow.' The term 'catasta,' from Greek κατάστασις (arrangement), refers to an orderly pile of elements, originally firewood, and in computing, a stack memory register. The exhibition runs through an unspecified period in 2017.
