Milan and Venice pay homage to the artist Roman Opałka , with Dire il tempo , a project curated by Chiara Bertola.
The exhibition, organized in two chapters, by BUILDING and the Querini Stampalia Foundation , deepens Opałka's research through a selection of fundamental works from his career. Both exhibitions are centered on the OPALKA 1965/1-∞ program, in which the artist has committed most of his life, in an attempt to represent the passing of time and to circumscribe the infinite within visible and measurable forms.
A group of works by Mariateresa Sartori (Venice, 1961) will be presented in Venice, who had an intense relationship with the artist in the city. Interested in neuroscience, music and language, her works establish a dialogue with Opałka's works , through common research on the themes of time, duration, contingency and the shared search for a visible capable of expressing the invisible .
From 7 May to 24 November 2019, Roman Opałka. Mariateresa Sartori , the second chapter, involves the rooms of the Querini Stampalia Foundation House Museum in Venice, where the works of Roman Opałka and those of Mariateresa Sartori are related to each other and to those of the institution's ancient collections .
