Massimo Bartolini | Organi | Galleria Massimo De Carlo
October 2008, Milan
Massimo Bartolini, for this exhibition works on the combination scaffolding-organ. Scaffolding gives the sensation to fly without wings, the impression to climb up to the sky.

Massimo Bartolini | Anche oggi niente | Maxxi
February 2008, Rome
The artist created an illuminated installation titled 25 april 1936. The work is composed by 250 neon lamps, that create the sentence ” anche oggi niente” that means “also today nothing”. During the performance on the 12th of February twelve lamps were broken on the floor from the scaffolding, creating a stars rain in an artificial San Lorenzo night: the survived lights create the final sentence.
