Broken Landscapes

The exhibition, curated by Alessio Costarelli and Pasquale Fameli, presents thirty pieces by twenty-three Bolognese artists, including Tullio Vietri. There are many well-known names, from Morandi to De Vita, Vacchi, Bendini, Ghermandi, Pulga, Cuniberti and Nanni. Alongside these established names, the exhibition features several emerging young artists and their recent works. A carefully curated and thought-through selection, designed to explore a particular aspect of contemporary visual art linked to the landscape: the fragmentation of the image, the dissolution of the homogeneity and compactness of the landscape view, and the rejection of the illusory conventions of perspective.
A selection of paintings, sculptures, and works on paper – often previously unseen and never before exhibited – offers insight into a rich and diverse panorama of artistic research and experimentation developed over several decades.

Among those present at the opening were Daniele Del Pozzo, Councillor for Culture of the Municipality of Bologna, Giovanni Gardini, Director of the Lercaro Museum, and the exhibition curators, Alessio Costarelli and Pasquale Fameli, who highlighted the significance of the exhibition, describing it as “a project that combines academic research, the promotion of hidden artistic heritage, and the dissemination of local creativity, in the spirit of the encounter between nature and culture.”
