MICHELANGELO PISTOLETTO & PASCALE MARTHINE TAYOU - UNA COSA NON ESCLUDE L'ALTRA

Galleria Continua is delighted to present “Una cosa non esclude l’altra – One thing doesn’t exclude the other”, an exhibition which brings together two personal shows: those of Michelangelo Pistoletto and Pascale Marthine Tayou. It represents a creative dialogue, treading a path which weaves together differences and oppositions, and explores the coexistence of humanity and otherness. Addressing Tayou, Pistoletto declares: “As one and one make three, I am happy to be doing this exhibition with you.” If we take as our point of departure Pistoletto’s main focus as an artist, the exploration of ‘creative duality’, this phrase captures the symbolic significance of the show: that of bringing into contact two seemingly distant elements in order to give rise to a uniting third force. Tayou, whose art has a very global approach, mixing cultures and a variety of geographical stimuli, replies: “Thank you, I am happy with this exhibition, and since I am hugely impatient I will arrive early for the appointment so as not to miss this unique occasion!”
