On the occasion of the centenary of the artist's birth, Soliera is devoting a new exhibition to Arnaldo Pomodoro, curated by Andrea Tinterri and Ilaria Sgaravatto, the first entirely dedicated to the photographic section of his archive.
The exhibition Arnaldo Pomodoro, un racconto fotografico, produced in collaboration with the Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro, presents the artist's work and research through a selection of one hundred original prints, made between the 1960s and the 1990s. In dialogue with three significant sculptural works – Disco solare (1989-1990) and the studies for Progetto per il nuovo cimitero di Urbino (1973) and The Pietrarubbia group (1975) – the photographs by authors such as Ugo Mulas, Maria Mulas, Mario Dondero, Carlo Orsi, Giuseppe Pino, Paolo Monti reveal not only the transformation of matter in the creative process, but also the relationship with public space and with the exhibition spaces of galleries and other institutions that over time have hosted the work of Arnaldo Pomodoro.
What is explored is the entire creative process, in particular the metamorphosis of matter and its becoming a work of art.
