Summer 2023 Art Exhibitions Across Sardinia
This summer, Sardinia is showcasing a variety of exhibitions featuring artists ranging from Henri Matisse to local talents. Chiara Gatti curates a Matisse sculpture exhibition at MAN in Nuoro, reimagining the 2019 "Matisse Métamorphoses" theme, and includes pieces by Brancusi, Boccioni, Giacometti, and Rodin. A retrospective of Tonino Casula (1931–2023) with 80 works is displayed at Spazio Ilisso. In Jerzu, Cantina Antichi Poderi pays tribute to Maria Lai (1919–2013) with inspired pieces. Museo Nivola in Orani showcases Isidro Ferrer's graphic creations. Cagliari's Lazzaretto features "Motus," a collective exhibition by Sardinian artists. The Musei Civici di Cagliari honor Mirella Mibelli (1917–2015) and Inge Morath (1923–2002) with retrospectives, while Fondazione MACC presents Omar Rodríguez-Graham's solo exhibition, and The Social Gallery launches "Limites y Colores" on August 4.
