Mostra Antologica
Description

“Pino Di Gennaro: mostra antologica” curated by Rossana Bossaglia, who writes: P. Di Gennaro addresses subtle philosophical problems connected to significant ethical issues.

Il colore della scultura
Description
2008
“The Color of Sculpture” curated by Paola Gastaldi, LineLab.edizioni, at the Art Halls of Alessandria. The ability to shape sculptural material is demonstrated by a bronze that appears to have been oxidised by the passage of an immeasurable span of time and space, bringing closer to us what is almost entirely invisible to our eyes.

Frammenti di spazi celesti
Description
1995
“Frammenti di spazi celesti”, a cura di Francesco Tedeschi, Galleria San Fedele, Milano. In the introduction, F. Tedeschi writes of the sculptor: “For some time, celestial, stellar, infinite space has become… the metaphor for an aerial, suspended setting of works that challenge the law of gravity and contain the many possible meanings of representing celestial bodies”.
Corpi celesti e tracce spaziali
Description
1994
“Celestial Bodies and Spatial Traces” curated by Marina De Stasio, Spazio Mecenate, Lucera. In Di Gennaro’s work, space enters sculpture—in panels, discs, or papers that create cosmic maps—and sculpture in turn enters and transforms space through installations.
