Minimal Choices: A Group Show in Jesi

A group exhibition at Palazzo Bisaccioni in Jesi, curated by Andrea Bruciati, brings together 32 Italian artists active between 1963 and 1980. The show highlights a 'poverista sensibility' through intimate works on paper, drawings, photographs, and everyday materials, contrasting with the more spectacular pieces these artists are known for. The exhibition draws parallels with Arte Povera and Transavanguardia, emphasizing a minimalist iconography that often borders on action and conceptual art. Featured artists include Vincenzo Agnetti (with a white-on-white cardboard collage), Alighiero Boetti (cut paper forming a face), Aldo Mondino (pencil on serigraph mimicking puzzle games), Pino Pascali (bitumen and tempera on silver paper), Lamberto Pignotti (felt-tip pen on newspaper), Concetto Pozzati (overlapping papers and postcards), Franco Vaccari (Polaroid engaging the public), and Adriano Altamira (photography critiquing contemporary fetishism of image accumulation). All works come from private collections.
