Bruna Esposito Spazio. From MAXXI's collections of art and artchitecture, Rome.

Spazio.
Naturale Artificiale.
Dal 30 maggio 2010 al 23 gennaio 2011

Descrizione
Lo spazio architettonico del museo imita lo spazio della natura, con le sue irregolarità e le sue sorprese, e si ricompone in una generale armonia visiva. Lo spazio diventa paesaggio, luogo abitato, in cui le opere trovano posto in quanto eventi. Arte ed architettura imitano la natura servendosi dell’artificio, trasformando in luoghi la materia e i suoi significati. I materiali industriali e tecnologici diventano fluidi, temporanei, scorrevoli. Fiumi, boschi, cortecce, terremoti, vulcani, aurore: una nuova “naturalità” che rimanda a quella espressività e funzionalità che solo il mondo naturale può dare.

Natural Artificial.
From 30 May 2010 to 23 January 2011
Description
The museum architectural space imitates the space of nature, with its irregularities and surprises, and recomposes itself in a general visual harmony. The space turns into landscape, inhabited place, where works find their place as events. Art and architecture imitate nature by using the artifice, and turning matter and its meanings into places. Industrial and technological materials become fluid, temporary and smooth. Rivers, woods, rinds, earthquakes, volcanoes, dawns: a new “naturality”, which reminds of the expressivity and functionality that only the natural world can provide.
 By assonance of meaning or formal association, the works exhibited are divided into four thematic areas:

Alexander Apóstol Collections Displays, TATE Modern, London

This five-room display gathers a range of artists who use photography to approach a topic or theme systematically, creating multiple images of similar subjects.

This typological method was pioneered by the German photographer August Sander, whose work can be seen in the central gallery. Sander¿s People of the Twentieth Century was a vast series of photographic portraits classified according to the profession or role of their subjects. Sander¿s process of analysing and ordering his images was matched by the rigorous, objective style of the photographs themselves. All of his subjects are observed by the photographer with the same neutral distance.

Sander's methodology has influenced subsequent generations of artists. The photographic portraits of Thomas Ruff, Rineke Dijkstra and Paul Graham view their sitters in series, presenting them as individuals but also as part of a related group. A similar technique is applied to spaces and architectural structures in the work of Bernd and Hilla Becher, Thomas Struth and Hiroshi Sugimoto. Again, these sequences depend on the accumulation of images, allowing contrasts or similarities to emerge between them.

Contemporary practitioners such as Simryn Gill and Alexander Apóstol continue to work in this tradition, producing sequences of images that can be read as themes and variations on their chosen subjects.
