Mirco Marchelli's 'Voci in capitolo' at Fondazione Biscozzi | Rimbaud in Lecce

Mirco Marchelli, a composer and visual artist from Novi Ligure, born in 1963, showcases 'Voci in capitolo' at the Fondazione Biscozzi | Rimbaud in Lecce. This exhibition features eighteen polimateric works arranged in groups of six across three rooms, accompanied by a three-part composition for six voices, created by Marchelli using texts from Edoardo Sanguineti, whom he regards as a pioneer in language deconstruction. The musical piece incorporates three madrigals by Gesualdo da Venosa, along with a revised Miserere score. Curator Paolo Bolpagni characterizes it as a 'total work of art,' highlighting the numerical connections among the artworks, voices, and spaces. The title alludes to the Alcantarine church and the six voices, each representing different subjects, materials, and techniques. Marchelli notes that the music and artworks do not serve as direct translations.
