Palazzo Reale - Sala delle Cariatide: Robert Ciaccio –
Inter/Vallum exhibition. In the majestic Sala delle Cariatide in Palazzo Reale,
until November 20th, is the Roberto Ciaccio Inter/Vallum site-specific
installation. It is closely tied to the architectural identity of the space.
Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Mantra
for two pianos and live electronics, is performed to accompany the show,
characterized by vibrating and modulated sounds that suggest the disquieting
oscillation of a huge sheet of metal in dark space.
Large slabs
of different metals - iron, copper, brass, zinc - and the great works on paper,
like the series of small sheets of papier Japonais, create three-dimensional
illusory spaces in the interior through the multiple layers of the surfaces and
the potency of the colors.
The space is
steeped with energy and mystery encounters works of an esoteric character
charged with energy of their own that vibrates in the gleam of the metal and
the colors of Revenants, in their serial sequences, in a shifting fugue of
identity and difference.
The artist
Roberto Ciaccio, whose works are present in important international museums, which are ranked as some of the most interesting innovations represented on the
contemporary art scene.
