Mario Merz - Profile
In 1968 Merz produced "Giap's Igloo," the first of these archetypal dwellings that have become his signature works. Through the igloo motif Merz explores the fundamentals of human existence: shelter, nourishment and humanity's relationship to nature. He examines the lost purity of pre-industrial societies as well as the changing, nomadic identity of modern man. Merz's igloos are comprised of diverse materials including the organic and the artificial, the opaque and the transparent, the heavy and the lightweight. The title of the exhibition, "8-5-3," corresponds to the diameter of each of the three igloos. Furthermore, it refers to the Fibonacci sequence, a mathematical series of numbers recognized in the 13th century. In this sequence, each numeral is equal to the sum of the two that precede it: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and so on. In performances and installations throughout his career Merz employed the Fibonacci sequence to represent the universal principles of creation and growth. Mario Merz was a leading member of the Italian artistic movement Arte Povera, a term introduced in 1967 by the art critic and curator Germano Celant. The movement was marked by an anti-elitist aesthetic that promoted everyday materials in protest of the dehumanising nature of industrialisation and consumer capitalism. Other artists involved in Arte Povera include Giovanni Anselmo, Alighiero Boetti, Luciano Fabro, Jannis Kounellis, and Giuseppe Penone. (Gagosian Gallery)
