ALBERTO BIASI La visibilità dell'invisibile (The visibility of the invisible)


M77 presents The visibility of the invisible, an exhibition project dedicated to the artist Alberto Biasi 
(Padua, 1937),
curated by #albertosalvadori and specially devised for the spaces of this gallery.

The exhibition will be open to the public from Monday 17 May to Sunday 19 September 2021, compatibly with the possible restrictions due to developments in the pandemic. Alberto Biasi is one of the most important personalities of post-war Italian art: Programmed Art pioneer and co-founder of the historic Gruppo N, Biasi has focused his artistic quest on optic-kinetic research extending to the creation of installations, ambient settings, and more recently, sculptures. With this exhibition, M77 and curator #albertosalvadori wished to return to the origins of the Padua-born artist’s very long career, highlighting primarily its gestalt and experiential aspects, along with the revolutionary role that he performed to introduce the concept of ambient/artwork into Italy.
The four ambient settings and the installation exhibited at M77 are not based just on space and light,but also, and above all, on the #people who visit the worlds that the artist has prepared for them: spectators, with their reactions and responses to the artist’s estranging proposals, are the true protagonists of the work.
“I chose The visibility of the invisible as the exhibition’s title”, explains Salvadori, “because what I want to focus on, in Biasi’s work, is the centrality of the spectator’s co-creative participation by means of the phenomenological structuring of the experiences proposed by the artist in an authentically personal itinerary, rather than his exploration of visual perception in its most specific sense, important though this is. When studying Biasi’s early oeuvre, it is impossible to over-estimate the almost Dada approach and the playful pleasure with which his ambient installations were devised and presented; the same can be said of the influence of Eco’s Opera Aperta (Open Texts), which was truly decisive”.
