LA REPUBBLICA - In the digital age, contemporary art gets back to the body
Without cruelty, but also without discounts. This is the body in contemporary art narrated in the exhibition “Corpus Domini – From the glorious body to the ruins of the soul”. Not at all introverted or hyper-conceptual, it touches all emotional chords with installations, drawings, sculptures, photographs and videos. Authors with different techniques and origins, ranging from conceptual to hyperrealism, instances that the history of art has always separated, but that here dialogue with unprecedented harmony. The setting, Palazzo Reale, is also surprising. More conservative than adventurous and contemporary, it is the producer, with Marsilio Arte and Tenderstories, of a cavalcade of 111 works and 34 artists, an exhibition on the body for the body, to be traversed and absorbed with growing empathy.
