4.30 pm | Guided tour of the exhibition Un passo avanti tanti dietro
The visit retraces the extraordinary story of Marion Baruch through some of her most iconic works. The artist has always embraced a free, unconstrained idea of authorship, and an art deeply connected to life. Born in 1929 in Timișoara, Romania, in a borderland constantly changing, Baruch loved to say: “I was born very old to rejuvenate by living. Now I can say I am young.” Her work is rich with reflections not only on artistic creation, but also on social and political issues that cross our daily lives: language, work, migration, the boundaries of identity, the condition of women, patriarchy, the internet, and consumer society. Her works are therefore at once intimate and universal, capable of touching viewers with ever-relevant questions. Through the exhibition, visitors are guided to discover a body of work that weaves together life and art, the personal and the collective, matter and thought, inviting us to look at what surrounds us with different, more aware eyes.
