Maria Cristina Carlini partecipa a “WUNDERKAMMER”. Arte, Natura, Meraviglia ieri e oggi

The sculptress Maria Cristina Carlinitakes part in the group exhibition Wunderkammer. Arte, Natura, Meraviglia ieri e oggi/Cabinet of wonder. Art, Nature, Wonder of yesterday and today held at the illustrious Milan venues of the Gallerie d’Italia of Intesa San Paolo and the Poldi Pezzoli Museum from 15 November to 2 March.
The exhibition curated by Lavinia Galli e Martina Mazzotta, created in cooperation with the Antonio Mazzotta Foundation, retraces the phenomenon of the Wunderkammern – “cabinets of wonder” -, born in the late Renaissance and combines them with the works of contemporary artists, thus creating a bridge between past and present.
From it are born connections, resemblances and equivalences, in which nature plays a fundamental role, that is, it is the main character of these “”wonders”” that creates manifold and unreal sceneries.
The interpretation by Maria Cristina Carlini of this theme is portrayed by the installation La mia Wunderkammer/My cabinet of Wonder (180x250x300 cm), expressly created for the exhibition. The work that can be called r artificialia/manufactured thingsr , according to the usage of the time, has been created with different materials: volcanic soil, sandstone, enamels, old candle holders and salvaged wood.
