Le Piazze [In]visibili \u2013 Invisible Squares until March 25th\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n

Curated by Marco Delogu<\/strong><\/p>\n

Studio 3 Gallery, Jarman Building, University of Kent<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday to Friday 10am \u2013 5pm. Free entrance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Invisible Squares features photographs of twenty Italian piazzas, taken between the end of March and the beginning of May, when Italy, like much of the rest of the world, found itself in confinement. In the exhibition catalogue, Joseph Rykwert identifies that the quarantine deprived the squares of business, whilst offering a \u2018unique opportunity\u2019 to see the piazzas\u2019 \u2018complex geometries, their bare bones\u2019. Each image tells a different story, accompanied by short original texts by Italian writers connected to the piazzas by memories, experiences and literary references.<\/p>\n

Marco Delogu, the curator of this wonderful exhibition, rightly suggests the photographs give us a view of Italy\u2019s squares that was previously only available to those ‘who designed, planned, built and adorned them\u2019.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is an initiative of Italy\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and has been shown and extended at the University of Kent thanks to the generosity of the Italian Cultural Institute in London.<\/p>\n

The exhibition has given our MA Curating students an excellent opportunity to put their learning into practice by adapting and installing the works in the studio. Students have also been a great source of information, as invigilators of the display.<\/p>\n

The exhibition will be part of the #EarBox<\/em> event with the University String Sinfonia on\u00a0Weds 23 March at 1.10pm.<\/p>\n
