Rome, at the Museo Laboratorio di Arte Contemporanea an exhibition on the relationship between writing and image

The MLAC - Museo Laboratorio di Arte Contemporanea of Sapienza University of Rome in collaboration with SIC12 artstudio Roma is hosting, from April 5 to June 13, 2024, the exhibition Scritture erranti curated by Gustavo Giacosa: this is the new part of the research project aimed at investigating the plastic aspects of writing in the art world, started in 2010 by Gustavo Giacosa and carried on with the complicity of Fausto Ferraiuolo. The aim of the exhibition is to highlight the relationship between writing and image, presenting the public with a selection of artists from different eras and aesthetic categories who have worked on hijacking the codes of writing.

The uniqueness of the exhibition lies in bringing together in the spaces of the MLAC numerous works by bothArt Brut artists-such as Carlo Zinelli and Dan Miller-and contemporary artists-such as León Ferrari and Christine Jean-along with engravings and old anonymous documents, all part of the Giacosa-Ferraiuolo collection.

Wandering Writings comes to the MLAC after being presented with great success between January 19 and March 16, 2024 at La Manufacture gallery in Aix-en-Provence. The exhibition is accompanied by a rich program of collateral events created in collaboration with SIC12 artstudio Roma and is part of a context of discovery and appreciation of artistic productions often forgotten by official Art History. Two exhibitions are being held concurrently and join Wandering Writings in this operation: Epopee Celesti, which presents Bruno Decharme ’s collection of Art Brut on view at Villa Medici from March 1 to May 19, 2024, and Waiting for the Bomb. The Art Brut of Giovanni Galli, which will be on display from April 5 to June 30, 2024 in the spaces of SIC12 artstudio Roma and is the first part of a monographic exhibition on an Art Brut author still little known in Italy but recognized internationally (since 2021 in the permanent collection of the Centre Pompidou thanks to the Bruno Decharme donation).
