Paolo Scheggi Retrospective 'Making Spaces' Opens at Cardi Gallery Milan

Cardi Gallery in Milan presents 'Making Spaces,' a retrospective of Paolo Scheggi (1940–1971), curated by Ilaria Bignotti in collaboration with the Associazione Paolo Scheggi. The exhibition highlights the artist's spatialist research, featuring nine 'Intersuperfici'—overlapping canvases with cutouts that create internal perspectives. Scheggi, associated with Lucio Fontana and supported by critics Giulio Carlo Argan and Germano Celant, also explored design and immersive environments. The lower floor displays 'Inter-ena-cubi'—cube compositions in cardboard or metal—while the upper floor reconstructs 'Interfiore,' a fluorescent circle installation first shown at Galleria La Tartaruga in Rome in 1968. Scheggi's recent international recognition includes an 'Inter-ena-cubo' entering the Tate Modern collection, now on view in Shanghai. The exhibition underscores Scheggi's classical approach to spatial construction and the viewer's gaze.
