Supervisiva is an exhibition that introduces the visitor to the three cycles of artworks Lucia Marcucci has been engaged on recently: Digital Poems, Città larga [Wide City] and Poesia dislessica [Dyslexic Poetry].

The visual poems of the Digital Poems cycle is hosted in the central room together with a site-specific project placed on the back wall of the gallery, with dimensions 2 x 18 m. The central theme is the analysis of the communication of the cultural scenario spawned by the digital revolution. Lucia Marcucci has selected material originating from the California magazine «Wired» – published from the early nineties and defined on Wikipedia as “the Internet Bible” – to create collages that are digitised and printed on PVC fabric or on plates for light boxes.

The urban sphere, on the other hand, belongs to the Città larga [Wide City] cycle generated by tampering with the most common and widespread roadside advertising: the cloth banners suspended from lamp-posts. A characteristic feature of the city suburbs, these advertising messages bear images based on popular attitudes that never diverge from the most entrenched clichés. The subversive action of the message is posited as the only viable poetic to restore the right to exploit the city space.

The most recent cycle is Poesia dislessica [Dyslexic Poetry] in which the artist addresses the use of letters of the alphabet beyond the context of words and hence of languages, setting the observer in a state of perceptive disorientation that is similar to what we feel when we are unable to decipher words in unknown languages. The painting used as the background onto which the segments of alphabets are stuck morphs the experience into an element of primordial communication.

On the occasion of the exhibition a catalogue was produced with texts by Enrico Ghezzi and Francesco Galluzzi. The volume is published by Carlo Cambi, which has already presented a series dedicated to Visual Poetry for several years. Lucia Marcucci published “Weil - Letters”, an editorial adaptation of the artist's book presented at the 2009 Venice Biennial.
