Emilio Isgrò
Palazzo Reale/Gallerie D’Italia/Casa del Manzoni
This retrospective, curated by Marco Bazzini, showcased Emilio Isgrò’s multiform creative process in all its richness and varietypresenting an oeuvre that, for over half a century, has been based on the encounter between word and image. Isgrò’s artistic journey began in the early 1960s, with his fictitious “Titoli di giornale” (Newspaper Headlines), 1962–64, in which he drew on his professional experience as a journalist to reflect on the ways in which current events are treated by the media, the mechanisms of distortion underlying that information, and the coexistence of truth and falsehood
