Thursday 2 July, at 07.00 p.m., it will be opened in the Capodimonte Museum, Enzo Cucchi's exhibition 'Interior's costume', promoted by the International Art meetings, in collaboration with the Special Superintendence for the Historical Patrimony, Artistic and Etnoantropologico heritage and for Museum Pole of the city of Naples. After the presentation of Simm'nervusi, in 1996, Enzo Cucchi has returned to Capodimonte, by invading its courtyard with an installation in which he condenses his symbolic and visionary universe and the freedom of an artistic research that has contributed to making him, from seventies, one of the most original and visionary protagonists of Transavanguardia group. "When Enzo Cucchi's work ( painting, drawing, sculpture) becomes architecture, as an interior Costume", as Achille Bonito Oliva writes - "competes easily with the Tower of Babel and with Tatlin's homage to the Third International, blocking with its height the Royal Palace's courtyard. The work is a storage, original for its cylindrical metal form, of energies evoking images, puffs of air and extensions floating in the air. A visual tissue of a tridimensional iconography, surely coming from an Italian repertory of images that has its roots in the Middle Ages of present, from which the artist of the Marche has extracted the precarious spirituality of his images, giving to art its elsewhere and rendering it habitable". The exposition, cared by Achille Bonito Oliva, is fitted out with a catalogue, planned for the occasion by the artist and edited by the International Art Meetings, with the presentation of Nicola Spinosa and the texts of editor and of Graziella Lonardi Buontempo.
