With the exhibition The Beginning of Time. Arnaldo Pomodoro\u2019s Spatialist Research<\/strong><\/em>, on March 6, 2022<\/strong>, the Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro<\/strong> kicks off a new cycle of Open Studio<\/strong><\/em>, temporary installations in the Studio of Arnaldo Pomodoro<\/strong> that, on an annual basis, tell and deepen lesser-known themes and periods of the artist's research<\/strong>, displaying works<\/strong>, documents<\/strong>, and original archival materials<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

The protagonist of the first Open Studio<\/em> is The Beginning of Time No. 2<\/strong><\/em> (1958 \u2013 230 \u00d7 270 cm), a large bas-relief in lead, zinc, and tin, originating from Cologne and restored in 2021.<\/p>\n

In this emblematic work<\/strong>, which already highlights the shift away from the Informal, Pomodoro explores the spatial development of a surface<\/strong> no longer structured by the sign-writing that characterized his early works, but instead concrete and substantial, animated by a gestural and absolute sign<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Alongside L\u2019inizio del tempo<\/em>, the exhibition will feature a group of sculptures, drawings<\/strong> and design studies<\/strong> \u2013 some on loan from the CSAC of Parma<\/strong> \u2013 as well as numerous archival materials<\/strong> (photographs, catalogs, magazines, press clippings, correspondence...), in an exhibition that traces the genesis of the work and the period of activity between 1957 and 1964<\/strong>, leading up to the realization of Grande omaggio alla civilt\u00e0 tecnologica<\/strong><\/em> (1960-1964 \u2013 24 \u00d7 8 m) for the facade of the University of Cologne, a poetic synthesis between investigations of sign-writing and sign-matter, for which the unpublished design collages<\/em><\/strong> will be displayed.<\/p>\n

In the Grande omaggio<\/em> \u2013 the artist\u2019s first foray into architectural and urban concerns \u2013 Pomodoro brings to sculpture, on the vast surface of cement and bronze, a perforation of touches, cavities, knots, marks, and imprints: an unreadable language, rich in history, almost symbolic, and at the same time foreshadowing the circuits of the first \u201celectronic brains\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t
