Spazio Mirella Saluzzo Opens in Ravenna
On October 25, a permanent exhibition dedicated to sculptor Mirella Saluzzo will debut at Via Francesco Negri 33 in Ravenna. Curated by Pasquale Fameli, the showcase will present approximately fifteen large-scale pieces from her solo exhibitions spanning 2004 to 2024. Rather than following a chronological order, the display focuses on thematic connections, reflecting Saluzzo's intricate plastic exploration. This exhibition marks the two decades following her first monograph, "Mirella Saluzzo. Sculture 1989–2003" (Essegi, 2004), curated by Luciano Caramel. A second monograph, co-authored by Fameli and Professor Francesco Tedeschi, is scheduled for release in 2026. Born in 1943, Saluzzo's work, inspired by historical avant-gardes, utilizes aluminum sheets to explore spatial concepts. Ravenna seeks to merge tradition with contemporary art.
