Burri/Fontana - Matter And Space - Catania - Italy

Created by Bruno Cora', this show presents a 'close encounter' between Alberto Burri and Lucio

Fontana, in 100 paintings, sculptures, drawings and graphics that demonstrate the focal points in

their creative paths. The poetics of these two leading 20th century artists are also compared, from Burri's "primacy of matter" to Fontana 's "spatial thought". The Palazzo Valle, a master-

piece of Catania baroque, houses the two artists' most famous "series", with works that changed the rules of artistic research: Burri's tar, sacks, Plastics, Combustions, Iron, Celletox and

Cracked earth, along-side Fontana's Spatial Concepts (Holes, Cuts, Waiting, Enviornments,

Nature, Quanta and Little Theatres)

Dates: Till 18 May
