Press conference of the exhibition "Lucia Marcucci: Poesie e no".
Curated by Frida Carrazzato

Museion Passage is hosting the exhibition Poesie e no to mark the 90th birthday of Lucia Marcucci, a leading exponent of visual poetry in Italy. Works by the artist are among those in the collection of the Archivio di Nuova Scrittura, which Paolo della Grazia donated to Museion and Museum Mart in 2020.
Marcucci's works tell of post-war Italy, of a society marked by economic upswing, social and political reorganisation and, towards the end of the 1960s, by student protests and the rise of feminist movements. In this climate, many artists found unconventional ways of expression using new techniques and established innovative forms of interdisciplinarity, which are also reflected in Marcucci's works.

The exhibition illuminates Marcucci's artistic research and experiments of the 1960s and 1970s through her works as well as numerous theoretical and poetic writings. The focus on Lucia Marcucci is part of Museion's ongoing research on the artists in its collection: This includes demonstrating the contemporary relevance of her works as well as the various artistic and interdisciplinary connections established through them.
