17 February- 19 June: Sanity and madness a the MAR Exhibition
The Ravenna Art Museum continues to delve into as yet uneplored topics ot interest with an ambitious exhibition project entitled Bordeline, Artists between Sanity and Madness. From Bosch to Art Brut, from Ligabue to Basquiat.
The exhibition aims to explore art's blurred boundaries, beyond the categories established during the 20th century. It therefore focuses on work wich cannot easily be defined, including both well-known artists and those considered 'mad' or 'insane. The exhibition will be divided into themes. The first, large section, "Introspective Introduction", features works by Bosch, Bruegel, Gèricault and Goya, whilst the second, entitled "Uncomfortable Reality" includes artworks from Dubuffet, Tancredi, Wols, Appel and Jorn.
"The Uncomfortable Body" presents a series of works in which the body is the main focus, including pieces by Basquiat, Moreni, Zinelli, Rainer, Baj and Masson. "Portraits of the Soul" looks closely at portraits and self-portraits, with paintings by Kubin, Ligabue, Moreni, Sandri and Viani. "The third Dimension of the World", meanwhile, is dedicated to sculpture, and features un published works by Gervasi, Art Brut Sculptures and prehistoric artefacts.
Finnallu, the section entitled "Dreaming Reveals the Nature of Things" defines dreams as an illusion on the Bordeline, with a selection of works by Dalì, Ernst, Masson, Brauner and Klee.
