An assiduous and shared exhibition experience in these five art galleries with Giuseppe Chiari. His work has aroused the desire to remember the artist and the friend with a series of works - over one hundred - that, due to their chronological, poetic and morphological diversity, give an account of the proteiform action of an artist, one of the greatest in Europe, active on the fronts of music, performance, painting and sculpture, as well as artistic and aesthetic theory, almost the only Italian exponent of the historic Fluxus movement. Each gallery showcases a particular nucleus of Chiari's different works, which will provide an insight into a considerable repertoire of his work.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue edited by Bruno Corà, published by Gli Ori, with texts by Bruno Corà and interviews by Carlotta Castellani.
