Marginalia
Bruno Corà
Softcover | 24 x 2.82 x 28 cm | 328 pp
Forma Edizioni | 2023 | 9788855211123
This catalogue was published to accompany a reunion exhibition of four Calabrian artists who trained during the 1970s, each with a different poetic path but with a communion of intentions. After Marginalia - their first group exhibition held in 1979, their paths split across Italy, to reunite in 2021 in this exhibition bearing the same title.
Francesco Correggia held the chair of Decoration Department in Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. He initially focused on performances and site- specific actions, before turning to painting.
Luigi Magli is interested in semiotics and the language of art, investigating matter and its expressive possibilities through his ‘personal expressionism’.
Rocco Pangaro teaches Artistic Anatomy at the Academy of Fine Arts in Catanzaro. His research is wedged in the relationship between the artistic intervention and the place that hosts it.
Giovanni Vatrella incorporates reality in his works, showing and concealing it at the same time behind thin canvases.
The book, edited by Bruno Corà, highlights the affinities and divergences of these artists. It is accompanied by a rich array of significant archive images. Bruno Corà has been a critic and curator since the mid-1960s. He has been a professor and honor academician at the Academy of Fine Arts in Perugia. He has taught at the Universities of Cassino and Florence. He has been director of Palazzo Fabroni Arti Visive Contemporanee in Pistoia, the Center for Contemporary Art Luigi Pecci in Prato and CAMeC-Centro d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in La Spezia, as well as the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Lugano. He is currently president of the Burri Foundation. He has been curator of several International Art Biennials and numerous exhibitions of international artists.
