HERBERT HAMAK, Il tesoro misterioso

On the occasion of the eleventh edition of ArtVerona, Studio la Città, in collaboration with the Directorate of the Art Museums and Monuments of the City of Verona, together with Veronafiere, has organised a site-specific installation by Herbert Hamak at the Museo Lapidario Maffeiano titled The Mysterious Treasure, after a well-known story by Emilio Salgari. In one of the most ancient European public museums Herbert Hamak will, following ideas about Salgari suggested by ArtVerona 2015’s for collateral shows, dialogue with the “hidden” or visible treasures of the extraordinary eighteenth century museum near Piazza Brà. His works in resin, which enclose tiny objects and coloured pigments, alternate with the precious remains conserved in the museum’s rooms, while in its garden various elements evoke the outline of the ancient city wall, of which a segment is visible in the museum’s basement.
