Campo di Marte Nathalie du Pasquier

Campo di Marte was devised in March 2020 at a time when Nathalie Du Pasquier was not painting After cutting out photos of paintings produced between the 1980s and 2020 the French artist then placed them in a sequence as if they were a series of typefaces focusing solely on their formal qualities and the scope for interpretation offered by their assembly What comes out is an enchanting game of nonsense an everyday surrealism in which the images make up sentences of sorts interwoven with various elements taken from the world of books titles poems or mere calculations &nbsp times when the artist was lost for words Campo di Marte will also be the name of an exhibition curated by Luca Lo Pinto due to be held at the MACRO in Rome at the end of 2020 As Du Pasquier states The book was supposed to come out at the same time as the exhibition opening That wont be the case but it doesnt matter as they really are two separate things This paperback is not a catalogue at all its something you can browse through even while sitting on the underground
