Dusseldorf, 5 November 2022: 6 new light sculptures by the major Italian artist Marinella Senatore, will be exhibited in Piazza dell'Annunziata in Venaria, the historic centre of Turin, from 4 November 2022 to 8 January 2023. Afterwards, they will move on to the rooms of the Citroniera of the Reggia di Venaria. The exhibition is curated by Guido Curto, the director of the Reggia di Venaria.

The theme of light is fundamental to the artist's multidisciplinary practice: she uses light to create poetry, and so the works bear names such as "Remember The First Time You Saw Your Name" or "We Rise by Lifting Others" by Robert Ingersoll and "Dance First Think Later" by Samuel Beckett. The light sculptures are a reminiscence of baroque festivals and at the same time a celebration of the transformative power of art and the exchange with the issues of our time. The works are created with LED and mercury-free neon tubes on supports made of recycled plastic.

"Light structures generate energy that spreads through the space in the form of light rays, changing it and transforming both the structures and the people who inhabit it," explains the artist.

Das Thema Licht ist ein grundlegender Bestandteil der multidisziplinären Praxis der Künstlerin: sie nutzt das Licht zur Schaffung von Poesie und so tragen die Werke Namen wie "Remember The First Time You Saw Your Name" oder "We Rise by Lifting Others" von Robert Ingersoll und "Dance First Think Later" von Samuel Beckett. Die Lichtskulpturen sind eine Reminiszenz an barocke Feste und gleichzeitig ein Fest der transformativen Kraft der Kunst und des Austauschs mit den Themen unserer Zeit. Die Werke werden mit LED- und quecksilberfreien Neonröhren auf Trägern aus recyceltem Kunststoff geschaffen.

"Lichtstrukturen erzeugen Energie, die sich in Form von Lichtstrahlen durch den Raum ausbreitet, ihn verändert und sowohl die Strukturen als auch die Menschen, die ihn bevölkern, verändert", erklärt die Künstlerin.
