AGNETTI BOETTI REIMONDO MOCCIA
Image Word Time brings together four Italian artists of diverse generations who share a number of common denominators. The great artists of international repute Vincenzo Agnetti (1926-1981) and Alighiero Boetti (1940-1994) were among the pioneers of “verbo-visual” and “conceptual” art with works sharing an intelligent, playful spirit with a dialectic or bipolarity between order/disorder, sign/design, signifier/signified; research featuring an omnivorous and multi-faceted vocation for the making of art as well as the “poetic-evocative” power of the use of the word. A number of these characteristics, resolved in a wholly independent manner, are also shared by artists of later generations such as David Reimondo (1973) and Rebecca Moccia (1992). Reimondo creates new utopian “languages”, Moccia reflects “calligraphically” on terms of the most intense modernity.
