Pensiero Video: Drawing and Electronic Arts Converge in Lucca
Right now, you can check out the 'Pensiero Video. Disegno e Arti Elettroniche' exhibit at the Fondazione Centro Studi sull’Arte Licia e Carlo Ludovico Ragghianti in Lucca. Curated by Andreina Di Brino, this group exhibition highlights how drawing plays a vital role in creativity and connects to electronic arts. Some of the featured artists are Lucio Fontana, Jackson Pollock, and Nam June Paik, among others. The show is inspired by Carlo Ludovico Ragghianti’s ideas that view drawing as the foundation of artistic creation, even in digital forms. It showcases Paik's 'Little Italy' (1990) and pays tribute to Vittorio Fagone, the foundation's director from 2000 to 2007. There's also a catalog available from Edizioni Fondazione Ragghianti Studi sull’arte.
