This special exhibition brings together major works, some unknown, by an emblematic couple of Arte Povera: Marisa Merz (1926-2019) and Mario Merz (1925-2003). Conceived with the Merz Foundation (Turin), the event will allow the public to understand the deep intellectual and creative interconnection between the two artists.

While for Marisa, art was a means of bringing down the barrier between reality and our fictions of intimacy, Mario continuously recalled the fragility of our integration into nature. Together, they incited us to imagine that art reveals the contours of the mirrors we too often place between ourselves and the world. The poetic reach of this message renders current events all the more cruel.
