(August 8, 2017) The duality of science and mysticism. Impressed on materials with the simple use of water, air and pigment, never using hands, brushes, or any other tools. This is how the “Supernova” collection by Italian artist Enrico Magnani will be exhibited at the Italian Institute of Culture in Chicago from September 7 to October 6. The artist aims to bring attention to the phenomenon and consequences of the huge nuclear explosions that characterize the end of a star’s life: the Supernova. ll the material released by the explosion is at the origin of the formation of new stars. The supernova thus poses as a symbol of death and rebirth, and the cyclic nature of the universe. (Ram)
