From 18 February to 19 May 2024
From February 18 to May 19, 2024, the MAC | Museum of Contemporary Art of Lissone (MB) welcomes Alice Ronchi's first solo exhibition in a public institution (Ponte dell'Olio, PC, 1989), entitled Amami Ancora.
The exhibition, which opens the three-year exhibition program conceived by the new director Stefano Raimondi, inaugurates the Prime project, with which the MAC presents itself as a center of research and experimentation to give voice to contemporary artists who, with their works, will dialogue with those present in the permanent collection, acquired during the historic Lissone Prize, in particular between 1946 and 1967, when the city was an internationally significant place for the documentation of European artistic research.
The exhibition starts from the investigation that Alice Ronchi carried out on the permanent collection of the MAC, establishing a relationship of intimacy and affection both with the participants in the Lissone Prize in the period 1946-1967, and with various authors whose creations for several years they are found in the storage rooms of the Brianza museum. Through an in-depth analysis, made up of studies on documents, meetings with the heirs and field research, Alice Ronchi gives the works and their creators a renewed centrality and an opportunity for an emotional reunion with the spectator.
For the occasion, Alice Ronchi presents a new intervention, alongside important historical works, other unpublished ones and some that have remained in her studio for years which enter into dialogue with those from the MAC collection of figures such as Claude Bellegarde, Cheval-Bertrand, Peter Brüning, Giorgio De Chirico, Piero Dorazio, Gino Meloni, Achille Perilli, Mario Schifano, Eugenio Tomiolo and others. The title, Love Me Again, recalls the need for the works to live and emerge from the nostalgia that encloses them in storage, to be appreciated and rediscovered again.
