The Cubic Meter of Infinity in a Mirroring Cube by Michelangelo Pistoletto

The first thing you’ll see when you step off the elevator on the fourth floor for “Italics: Italian Art between Tradition and Revolution 1968-2008,” opening tomorrow at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), Chicago is All, 2008 by Maurizio Catelan, a sculptural installation of “bodies” underneath cloth. It’s intense and introduces the show and its differentiation from traditional ideas of Italian art.

We had a media preview this morning and I did a short walk-through of the exhibit. It far surpassed my expectations, with a variety of different works in varying media including painting, sculpture, photography, video, along with numerous site installations.

Make sure you check out the labyrinth/maze in all white. You might miss it, mistaking the small entrance for a door or even some sort of optical illusion. Don’t be fooled! It is breathtaking and claustrophobic, but in the best possible way. And don’t forget to go down a blackened hallway and behind the curtain to see The Cubic Meter of Infinity in a Mirroring Cube by Michelangelo Pistoletto (photo above), an awe-inspiring installation that overwhelms the senses and completely re-arranges your sense of place and security in the body.
