L’insieme Vuoto

Maurizio Donzelli

Curated by Gabriele Salvaterra

The empty set refers to the concept developed by philosopher and art critic Federico Ferrari to define the status of a certain type of image, poised between presence and absence, finite and infinite, immanence and transcendence, nothing and everything. “The empty set refers to a paradoxical concept. It is, in fact, a whole that has no elements and is therefore composed of nothing, but which, as a whole, is something”.

In a contrasting dynamic, where the artistic object is located in an indefinite space between the poles of clarity and evanescence, Maurizio Donzelli carries on his autonomous research in this personal exhibition, aimed primarily at awakening the observer’s gaze. The latter is thus invited to question the mystery of the works on display, in spite of the evidence of their presence, in an attempt to reach that persistently elusive beyond on which the reasons for a deeper aesthetic experience are based.
