Liquid Labyrinth.The exhibition presents all important aspects of Plessi's artistic world, samples of his classical pieces are put on display as well as recent works that demonstrate his coming back to painting.
The Ludwig Museum - Museum of Contemporary Art, Budapest opens the new season with an exceptionally spectacular and exciting show.
Fabrizio Plessi is one of the most popular contemporary Italian artists, who has become worldwide known for his large size video installations.
His art draws on the deep symbolism of the four classical elements, and he merges modern technology with the simplest materials like wood, stone or corroded metal sheets in a most natural way.
Plessi’s works also facilitate collective thinking and discussion on issues of nature and society and help to find adequate solutions. A central theme of his artistic world is the conflict between tradition and modernity also between technology and humanity. Plessi has been working together with composer Michael Nyman for decades.
His spectacular works, often of large dimensions, usually exercise a deep impact on the audience, and it is almost impossible to remain unaffected. The actual exhibition aims to present all important aspects of Plessi’s artistic world, samples of his classical pieces are put on display as well as recent works that demonstrate his coming back to painting.
In spite of his worldwide reputation, Fabrizio Plessi has never had an individual show in any of the post-communist countries, so, our exhibition - organised in cooperation with Ludwig Museum, Koblenz - is a historic début.
