CLAUDIO GOBBI AN ATLAS OF PERSISTENCE edited by Francesca Fabiani
Ca’ Pesaro
Galleria Internazionale d’Arte Moderna – Museo d’Arte Orientale
The Direzione regionale Musei Veneto and the Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo e la Documentazione (ICCD) of the Ministry of Culture (MiC), together with the Galleria Internazionale d'Arte Moderna Ca' Pesaro present the photographic exhibition Claudio Gobbi. An Atlas of Persistence, a cura di Francesca Fabiani.
The exhibition features two photographic projects, the first one on the iconography of 20th-century theatre interiors throughout Europe, tracing a geography of the continent with more than more than 25 countries; the second one on the typological immutability of Armenian churches, scattered even outside their historical territories, which gives a visual encyclopaedia, an album of the ever-equal.
As Gobbi explains: One of the central themes of my work is the search for recurring characteristics that can be considered as defining elements of a certain type of culture.
The exhibition is the first event in a programme of events and exhibitions that will be showcased in various Venetian cultural venues.
