About the exhibition
The first exhibition in Italy devoted to one of the most important and best-known post-war artists. Curated by Vicente Todolí, the exhibition includes 12 of the artist’s most important installations, made from 1970 to the present day. Back in the 1960s, Meireles was one of the first to experiment with multi-sensory immersive installations that required the full involvement of the public. His works address social and cultural issues, revealing their full meaning only when they are walked through, involving not just sight but also hearing, touch, smell and even taste. The exhibition winds its way through a disorienting itinerary, with both monumental and minuscule works that capture the viewer partly through the artist’s indistinct use of materials.
