The Italian Cultural Institute hosts a presentation of the exhibition which opens in November at the Fondazione Palazzo Magnani in Reggio Emilia, on the occasion of the Fondazione’s 20th anniversary. Taking the visitor on a journey through art and music, the project explores the ideas of interiority and spirituality as open themes that encompass many influences: from the spiritual abstraction of Wassily Kandinsky to the enlightened silence of John Cage. The Reggio Emilia exhibition will also feature Max Klinger, Paul Klee, Arnold Schönberg, Constantin Čiurlionis, Marianne Werefkin, Oskar Fischinger, Fausto Melotti, Nicolas De Stael, Giulio Turcato and Robert Rauschenberg.

In collaboration with:

Fondazione Palazzo Magnani, Reggio Emilia
