Illuminare lo spazio, lavori in situ e situati, shows a production that is renewed over time, while always remaining faithful to itself. The artist propose once again his motifs in white and colored vertical bands, each 8.7 cm wide, while exhibiting for the first time in an Italian museum works that employ fiber optics, which allows every single installation to release a light that impacts on the ancient forms of the Palace and on the frescoes preserved in it, reshaping the environments historically intended for the administration and exercise of city justice. Important is also the distinction between the definition “in situ” and “situati” (located): the first defines that meaning usually called “site specific”, that is to elaborate a work specifically for a given context. “Located”, on the other hand, defines installations adapted to the spaces of the great salon, although ideally transferable to other places.īuren’s work - which developed at Palazzo della Ragione, the city’s most important institutional location - is interpreted as the strong hope for a rebirth of the city for which culture could play a key role, after months of isolation and closure due to the pandemic. “Although I knew Bergamo I never could visit the Palace. I discovered the room through the plants and images I received. For the first time, I had to proceed in an abstract manner”, Buren says in a conversation with the director of the museum GAMeC and exhibition’s curator Lorenzo Giusti, explaining how the last months forced him to work differently. More than 50 years after that date, Daniel Buren invades with his “ready-made painting” the Sala delle Capriate in Palazzo della Ragione of Bergamo: Daniel Buren.
