5/12. Maria Lai, “Telaio”(2006), “Libro rosso” (2009)
🗓️on view until June 4th, 2026
Maria Lai (1919-2013) is featured with two emblematic works of her research: “Telaio” (2006) and “Libro rosso” (2009), intended as complementary testimonies of a poetic universe of great expressive power.
On the one hand, the processual logic of the work “Telaio” manifests itself in the creation of a magical machine, traversed by threads destined to create unstable geometries through the use of diagonal lines, parallel bundles, or intersections; on the other hand, the work “Libro rosso” reveals a mental script hidden within silent pages, crossed by tangled and suspended threads.
