Catalogue Note

"Se poi le sfere e le colonne siano monumenti all'universo o al nulla nessuno può dire: che altro può chiedersi un artista moderno se non di avere una coscienza lucida dell'ambiguità, dell'enigma del proprio tempo storico? (...) Lo spazio è un concetto, una realtà intellettuale e storica; non è un fatto di alberi, d'acqua e di cielo, ma di formule e di numeri".
Arnaldo Pomodoro
