Renato Ranaldi's 'Clinamen' Retrospective at CAMUSAC, Cassino

The CAMUSAC – Museo d’Arte Contemporanea di Cassino presents a major retrospective dedicated to Renato Ranaldi (b. 1941, Florence), curated by Bruno Corà. The exhibition, titled 'Clinamen', draws its name from the Epicurean concept of atomic swerve, which Ranaldi’s work mirrors through spontaneous deviations in time and space. The show includes historical works such as 'Bilico celeste' (1988), presented at the 1988 Venice Biennale, 'Tetrabalulo' (1989), 'Ikona' (1996), 'Bilico d’i’ ciucho e la berva' (2003), 'Nudo sdraiato' (2005), and 'La joie de mourir' (2007). A site-specific work created for the museum is also on view. The accompanying catalogue, published by Gangemi Editore, features an unpublished text by Ranaldi and a critical essay by Corà, who describes the artist as 'one of the most radical and disconcerting artists to appear on the Italian and European art scene since the 1960s, still active, refractory to any critical identification with trends and movements of the last sixty years.'
