Michelangelo Pistoletto
01 Oct, 2010 - 23 Jan, 2011
Metrocubo d'Infinito in un Cubo Specchiante (Square Metre of Infinity in a Mirror Cube), an installation covered externally with opaque steel plates and internally clad with mirrors, is intended to offer the public an opportunity to experience boundless space. Its centre will be occupied by one of the artist's historic works, the Metrocubo di Infinito (Square Metre of Infinity), 1966, which consists of exceptionally opaque surfaces on the outside and reflecting surfaces on the inside, thus taking the potential of refraction to its extreme limit.
Pistoletto himself argues that 鈥渢he mirror expands the eye's characteristics and the mind's capabilities to the point where it offers a vision of totality鈥�. The work of art becomes a secular place for meditation, where man with his capacity for imagination is the only true value.
