Renato Meneghetti -“Looking beyond: X Rays”

“...The exhibition is the fruit of Meneghetti’s creative
nomadism which opens ever new expressive
possibilities: the very skin of painting...”

Achille Bonito Oliva

“…Today, in the digital age, the contemporary artist
must be able to master different tools.
The beneficiary of static and passive art no longer exists.
The principle of plurality and rich and creative
spiritual mobility,make Meneghetti an artist who
provides for a vital and activepublic participation
 in his work. I am certain he still has a lot
 more to say..”.

FACTORY-ART gallery is proud to present an extensive exhibition of x-rays from Italian artist Renato Meneghetti, which will be inaugurated on 13 March 2010 at 06:00pm and will run until 8 May 2010.
The exhibition entitled “Looking Beyond: X-Rays will present a consistent portion of the great exhibition devoted to Renato Meneghetti held by the City of Rome at the Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Venezia and contemporaneously at three different exhibition spaces, curated by the well known art critic Achille Bonito Oliva, under the auspices of the Italian Ministry for Cultural Heritage and the Polo Museale Romano.
This exhibition is a beacon of inexhaustible research, an endeavour  to go ever further, ever beyond, not only by means of the x-ray however, but through thought.
Meneghetti’s research explores themes of great relevance to the present day, worked out through four installations where the public plays an interactive role, a carefully prepared event, which will  appear as one huge installation, within which x-ray paintings will also be exhibited.
Furthermore, Meneghetti has composed the music; the near hypnotic sounds will lead the spectators to a state of high emotional responsiveness where visual perception could almost be defned as visionary.

“…In this manner the eye can see what normally it cannot read…”
