Promoted and organised by director Renata Cristina Mazzantini, the initiative draws inspiration from the visiting artist programmes of major international institutions and adopts the formula \u201cone year, one artist, one room\u201d, dedicating a focused exhibition space and a programme of events for the public, scholars and students to a leading figure in contemporary Italian art. Within this framework, the room devoted to Emilio Isgr\u00f2 presents the most recent developments in his exploration of Cancellatura (Erasure), through works such as Planetarium (2023) and Isgr\u00f2 cancella Isgr\u00f2 (Isgr\u00f2 Erases Isgr\u00f2, 2024), alongside works already held in the museum\u2019s collection. For the Artista alla GNAMC programme, Isgr\u00f2 also created the site-specific work Isgr\u00f2 cancella Isgr\u00f2, conceived especially for the museum\u2019s spaces and donated to the Galleria.<\/p>\n<p><img data-dominant-color=\"cdcbc6\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #cdcbc6;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1065 size-large not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/gnamc.cultura.gov.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Isgro_Immagine-1920x1080-1-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gnamc.cultura.gov.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Isgro_Immagine-1920x1080-1-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/gnamc.cultura.gov.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Isgro_Immagine-1920x1080-1-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/gnamc.cultura.gov.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Isgro_Immagine-1920x1080-1-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/gnamc.cultura.gov.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Isgro_Immagine-1920x1080-1-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/gnamc.cultura.gov.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Isgro_Immagine-1920x1080-1.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>The Exhibition<\/h3>\n<p>The room dedicated to Emilio Isgr\u00f2 presents the most recent developments in the evolution of Cancellatura (Erasure), bringing Planetarium (2023) and Isgr\u00f2 cancella Isgr\u00f2 (Isgr\u00f2 Erases Isgr\u00f2, 2024) into dialogue with works already held in the Galleria\u2019s collection, including Storico (Historical, 1972) and Le Tavole della Legge ovvero la Bibbia di Vetro (The Tablets of the Law, or the Glass Bible, 1994). The book, a central element in the artist\u2019s practice, appears here as an object to be displayed and transformed, ultimately becoming sculpture and a fragile embodiment of the word. In Planetarium, suspended globes with their place names erased evoke the complexity of contemporary globalisation and suggest new ways of reading the world. Isgr\u00f2 cancella Isgr\u00f2, by contrast, reflects on identity and its negation, confirming the artist\u2019s enduring ability to reinvent his own visual language. Taken together, the works span more than sixty years of research, revealing how Cancellatura has become one of the most distinctive and radical expressions of contemporary Italian art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of the \u201cArtista alla GNAMC\u201d (Artist at GNAMC) programme, the Galleria Nazionale d\u2019Arte&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":213,"parent":5247,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/artista-page.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5290","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gnamc.cultura.gov.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gnamc.cultura.gov.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gnamc.cultura.gov.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gnamc.cultura.gov.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gnamc.cultura.gov.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5290"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/gnamc.cultura.gov.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5290\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5578,"href":"https:\/\/gnamc.cultura.gov.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5290\/revisions\/5578"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gnamc.cultura.gov.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5247"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gnamc.cultura.gov.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gnamc.cultura.gov.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
