Maurizio Pellegrin
|
(Italiano)
|
Maurizio Pellegrin appears to use art research as an attempt to speculate over different meanings of human existence. Moments of everyday life - objects and materials that accompany life and constantly define its meaning - are used over and over in all possible combinations, until it becomes possible to perceive their symbolic relationship with the world, when each object's purely material purpose is left behind.
In Pellegrin's installations every object takes up its own meaning: everything becomes a metaphore, a key to interpretation, a part of a wider design, an exploration in search of meanings, a voyage.
Born in Venice in 1956, the artist is presently quite well known, not only in Italy, but also in the US, where several galleries have set up important events in his name. Worth mentioning are the Jack Shainman Gallery of New York, in 1990, that introduced him to the US and that was followed by many others: Chicago, San Diego, Düsseldorf, Lyon and - in Italy - Rome, Milan, Venice, Naples and many more.
