Pages from cropped Eco _Trends 126_web_Page_1

If   you’re   in   Treviso,    visit   “RE.USE.  Scraps, objects, ecology in contemporary art”, an exhibit consisting  of   87   pieces  by   58   international artists, designed to trace a path  along  the theme of reuse within the  context of contemporary art history. Through the  works  of great artists such as Marcel  Duchamp, Alberto  Burri, Christo,  and Damien  Hirst, just  to name a few, the  exhibition aims to  document the  continuous relationship that  art has had  with everyday objects and  with waste. From  the  early  twentieth century,  with Man   Ray  and   Manzoni –  when   the   distance between a  museum and  the  world  of common objects was  shortened – to  the  French  realism of the  1960s, when  we  begin  to  get  a  glimpse of the  social responsibility of artists, up  to  the present day, the exhibit is a true journey  towards admiring the  birth, evolution,  and  current status of the reuse concept, in the world of modern and contemporary art, with an  ethical and  aesthetic objective.  Divided  among three   locations: the Museum of Santa Caterina,  the Casa Robegan Museum, and  the  Piano  Nobile of Ca’ dei Ricchi, RE.USE is curated by Valerio Dehò and is open  to the public until February 10th, 2019.
