Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milano
Every year the Pastoral Center of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, within the Itineraries of Art and Spirituality project, proposes exhibition themes that encourage new reflections on the reality that surrounds us. For the 19th edition of the exhibition of the academic year 2023/2024 the young curators, in agreement with the teachers and representatives of the Pastoral Center, have decided to address a reflection on the links that exist between the city and the environment in inhabiting urban spaces.
Within this context, three works by Francesco Somaini are also exhibited, linked to the theme of reflection on the relationship between sculpture, architecture and urban context formalized in the volume co-written with Enrico Crispolti in 1972, Urgency in the city, and continued by artist in a series of sculptures, drawings and photomontages in the following years.
