OZMO X LIA 30, Inside the Collection
La Spezia (SP)
On the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of the Museo Civico Amedeo Lia, the exhibition “OZMO X LIA 30, Inside the Collection” brings contemporary art into the heart of the ancient collection. The artist Ozmo (Gionata Gesi) has created four new canvases designed to directly dialogue with some of the museum's masterpieces, such as Pontormo's Self-Portrait, Raphael's San Martino, and a Greco-Roman head of Apollo. For the first time, the museum acquires a group of works by a living artist: the four paintings will indeed enter the permanent collection, marking an opening to the contemporary. The itinerary, curated by Andrea Marmori and Anna Costantini, is a site-specific project that invites a rereading of the entire collection under a new light.
