Calembours Toujours – carte scelte dal 1986 al 2005
The Susanna Orlando Gallery, founded in 1976 in the heart of Forte dei Marmi, is opening a new space in the historic centre of Pietrasanta, on Via Stagio Stagi, with a solo exhibition dedicated to Aldo Mondino, curated by Paola Bortolotti, entitled “Calembours Toujours”.
Following the solo exhibition “La danse des jarres” presented by Alberto Fiz in 1997 and the group exhibition “Dalla A alla M” curated by Chiara Guidi in 2005 in homage to the master, eight years after his passing, the Gallery presents, from 7 July to 15 August, a selected series of works on paper from 1986 to 2005. Art, travel and “Wordplay” were the lifeblood of the magical, solid and long-lasting artistic partnership between the artist and the Susanna Orlando Gallery.
The exhibition, held under the patronage of the Municipality of Pietrasanta, aims to recount and bring to life the impressions and atmospheres experienced by Mondino during his travels and long stays in the East.
The project was conceived in collaboration with the Aldo Mondino Archive and bears witness to the artistic partnership spanning over twenty years between the Susanna Orlando Gallery and the Turin-born master.
It is thanks to this long and fruitful partnership that the decision was made to inaugurate the new space with a solo exhibition by Mondino, which thus takes on the symbolic significance of continuity, as well as synergy, between the parent gallery in Forte dei Marmi and the new, recently established one.
Aldo Mondino was born in Turin in 1938, where he died in 2005. After training in Paris at William Heyter’s Atelier and the École du Louvre, he returned to Italy in 1960 and began exhibiting his work in numerous Italian galleries. His meeting with Gian Enzo Sperone, then director of the Galleria Il Punto in Turin, proved pivotal for his artistic career and his entry onto the international scene.
Among his major exhibitions, his two participations in the Venice Biennale in 1976 and 1993 (curated by Achille Bonito Oliva and won by the artist) are particularly noteworthy.
His works are part of the permanent collections of the most important national and international museums and numerous private collections.
