The strongest proximity is that with Sol LeWitt, Miyamoto’s lifelong friend: working as his assistant from 1968 onwards, the Japanese artist approached the minimalist language, which she appropriated through the idea of materialising lines and graphemes in installations made of string, vibrantly optical and tactile, until achieving an almost organic form. This act of respectful unveiling adds new perspectives to the historiographical narrative of Madre, where she ideally dialogues with key artists of her period who enrich the museum with site-specific installations. In the wake of the recent trend towards studying the practices of female artists who have been active over recent decades, yet who remain overshadowed, this exhibition casts a glance at Miyamoto’s entire production. The exhibition will constitute the first historiographic survey dedicated to Kazuko Miyamoto held by a European public institution. Eva Fabbris took up her role as director of Madre last March, after being selected for this position through a public call for candidacies. Angela Tecce, President of the Fondazione Donnaregina per le arti contemporanee and Eva Fabbris, newly appointed director of the Madre museum, announce the retrospective dedicated to the artist Kazuko Miyamoto (Tokyo, 1942, lives and works in New York) with which the new three-year programme curated by the director will be inaugurated.
