Giuseppe Penone | Sculpture as Breath, Drawing as Skin

Is the Italian contemporary artist Giuseppe Penone a pioneer of eco-art? A late romantic? All of the above? Our host, art curator and writer Joana P. R. Neves is joined by the artist Diogo Pimentão to explore the survey exhibition of this seemingly neo-romantic artist. How did Penone develop his work within one of the most revolutionary movements of Italian and international art, Arte Povera? As one of its youngest members, what sets him apart from the group–could it be his lifelong collaboration with organic, mineral materials and his use of drawing as trace?Did you enjoy the episode?

He reinvented sculpture, drawing, conceptual photography, art installation, through proto environmental art with the sensibility of a late late romantic.Curator and art critic Germano Celant created the term Arte Povera in 1967: how does Penone fit into that notion? He seems to have had a singular place in the Italian and global art scene. Have we been forcing a dialogue between his work and Celant’s concept? What other relations with memory and matter has he expanded through his work? Sign up for a tiered monthly support: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2624749/monetization/supporter_settings Your contribution keeps us going.To know more about ⁠Diogo Pimentão⁠ click on the linked name.  Exhibition held at the Serpentine gallery, Curated by Claude Adjil, Curator at Large, and Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director, with Alexa Chow, Assistant Exhibitions Curator.Music by Sarturn. Did the episode stir Art Wonderment memories?
