June 25 – On Monday, June 30, the Italian Cultural Institute in Cologne inaugurates “Project: Boundaries – Sculptures by Maria Cristina Carlini.” The exhibition will remain open until August 29; Martina Corgnati, exhibition curator and professor at the Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti of Turin, will illustrate the conceptual work behind the exhibition on opening day. Maria Cristina Carlini has works exhibited in Europe, America and Asia. She began working on pottery in the early 1970s in Palo Alto, California, before using different materials, such as porcelain, iron, COR-TEN steel, wood and resin to create sketches and monumental sculptures. Her artistic career includes solo and group exhibitions in numerous public and private venues worldwide. In Italy, her most recent exhibitions were held at the State Archives of Milan (2008), the International Sculpture Biennale in Racconigi Castle (2010), the Archives of the Roman School (2011-2012), and the Villa Recalcati seat of the Province of Varese (2012).
