Rosso e Grigio: meeting with Marco Meneguzzo

PH MICHELE ALBERTO SERENI

Saturday 6 February 2021 Marco Meneguzzo was at Studio la Città as curator of the Rosso e Grigio exhibition. The group show brings together works by 18 artists in ceramic and concrete, and the exhibition that started on 12 December 2020 in the gallery takes its title from their colors.
During the meeting Marco Meneguzzo highlighted the role that these two materials have had in the course of the history of art, starting from the origins and up to the present day.

In the text dedicated to the exhibition Marco Meneguzzo specifies: “In theory, ceramic and cement are two materials like any others, to be chosen by artists as by anyone else … if the history of recent art had not decreed its laws, persisted with certain creative aspects, and for many decades fully favoured the sense of the dematerialisation of materials.”
