The Collection presents an exhibition in the space of the Classense Library where the precious book/work by Alighiero Boetti Insicuro Noncurante will be exhibited and will participate with its own space inside the Franciscan Cloisters, exhibiting its editorial work on the projects commissioned by the Collection itself as well as a selection of important artist books by Claudio Parmiggiani.
Insicuro Noncurante (1975) is a composite work by Alighiero Boetti which includes 81 tables relating to the works and research of the Turin artist from 1966 to 1975. Each folder contains a work created with different techniques, from photography to lithography, from collage stamping, drawing. This valuable book was presented in the great Alighiero Boetti: Game Plan retrospective at the MoMA in New York in 2012.
Among the numerous books by Claudio Parmiggiani conserved in the Art Library of the Collection, some of the most significant of the first half of the 1975s have been selected. They are an expression, on the one hand, of the founding themes of his artistic research (the shadow, the delocations, silence, the study of ancient and Renaissance art), on the other hand of his linguistic-poetic experiments linked in particular to the friendship with Emilio Villa. These books show the inseparable bond, in Parmiggiani's poetics, between the verbal and the visual aspect, an aspect also visible in the experimental magazine Tau/Ma (published from 1981 to XNUMX) created by Parmiggiani himself with Mario Diacono, whose editor is collector Achille Maramotti.
All the volumes produced on the occasion of the exhibition projects and initiatives of the Collection will also be displayed and available for consultation, testifying to its vocation to closely connect the iconographic and bibliographic heritage.
