Notes

The exhibition Sette Stanze (Seven Rooms), Andrea Mastrovito’s solo
show at Palazzo Ducale, ideally continued MCm – Minimo Comune Multiplo, presented in October 2024 at the Ceramiche Marca Corona
headquarters, where the artist reflected – and worked – according to the
logic of multiplicability: of individuals, gestures, creative processes and of
the artwork itself.
The exhibition journey of Seven Rooms culminated on the first floor in the
stuccoed apartments, where, through a series of site-specific installations,
Andrea Mastrovito engaged in a close dialogue with the monochromes
donated by Giuseppe Panza in 2005.
The works of Sims, Spalletti, Simpson, Roeth, Litzmann and Appleby
became thresholds through which the artist peered to intercept colours and
structures, traces “of infinity materialising, a corner of sky falling to earth,”
to quote Panza himself. Mastrovito, making use of illustrated volumes
of various kinds, removed them from two-dimensionality, composing
flowerbeds, skies and seas of paper in harmony with the geometries of the
floors and the chromatic schemes of the large canvases on the walls, simply
by repeating hundreds of times the gesture of cutting and folding pages.
