About the exhibition
The sculpted fountains by Massimo Bartolini find a place in a brim without cover, where the artist has placed his works with the intention of inhabiting the space and building a system of relations between sociality and rituality through and thanks to water, which here it is that of the Venetian lagoon, with its temporality, its seasons, its social rites. The brim has lost its roof, but has kept its perimeter, within which the aquatic element builds a space for meeting and sharing.

Fondazione Merz

The artist has always been a mediator in the interaction between space and spectator, working on a perceptive and experiential level. His work, expressed in a wide variety of media and techniques, of artificial and natural materials, creates sensory situations by interweaving sounds, images and light effects.

Organi
Galleria Massimo De Carlo
Scaffolding gives the sensation to fly without wings, the impression to climb up to the sky. Also the music of organ is made for climbing to the sky, or to sink under earth. Organ and scaffolding have in common something: they extend both to the verticality.

Anche Oggi Niente
Maxxi
25 april 1936 is an installation by Massimo Bartolini composed by 250 neon lamps to create the sentence “anche oggi niente”. During the performance on the 12th of February, twelve lamps were broken on the floor from the scaffolding, creating a stars rain as an artificial San Lorenzo night: the survived lights create the final sentence.
