Vincenzo Agnetti's 'Tempo e memoria' Opens at Cardi Gallery in Milan and London
Cardi Gallery, in partnership with the Archivio Agnetti, showcases 'Tempo e memoria,' a two-location exhibition dedicated to Vincenzo Agnetti (Milan, 1926–1981) in both Milan and London. This exhibition emphasizes Agnetti's role as a conceptual artist who transitioned from informalist painting to the Neoavanguardia movement. Between 1962 and 1967, while residing in Buenos Aires, he developed 'Arte no' and delved into scientific themes. Featured works include the historical pieces 'Elisabetta d’Inghilterra' (video, 30', 1976) and 'Libro dimenticato a memoria.' Each venue displays a sundial ('tempus mentis') casting misleading shadows. London showcases 35 pieces, while Milan presents over 25, including 'Assiomi,' 'Feltri,' and the 'Trono' (1970), a black pyramid created with Paolo Scheggi.
