A solo exhibition of Ezio Gribaudo, an internationally recognized artist and art publisher, curated by Professor Victoria Surliuga. Gribaudo will receive the IIC Lifetime Achievement Award that recognizes Italian excellency in the world and the honorary citizenship of the City of Lubbock during the private preview of the show on March 31.
This exhibition brings together a series of works called Theaters of Memory that Gribaudo began to develop around 1965 and continues to this day. The exhibition includes some earlier works as well as recent paintings to show the continuity in Gribaudo’s discourse. Archeology of knowledge and the human experience are the main themes of Gribaudo’s Theaters of Memory. Based on conceptual and chromatic associations, they display a set of images that trigger memory and recollection. In this cluster of works, Gribaudo revisits the mnemonic practices used in the Renaissance and summarizes his artistic research by bringing together the main themes and techniques that have marked his artistic career.
