Ottonella Mocellin Nicola Pellegrini | Messico famigliare January 19 - February 28, 2010
The Fondazione Merz announces the exhibition Messico famigliare – Family Mexico, a new project by artists Ottonella Mocellin and Nicola Pellegrini.
The exhibit develops around the artists’ personal considerations on the concept of family, ranging from the memories of their original birthplaces to their recent experience as adoptive parents. The artists examine the nature of their “mixed” family within the country’s social contest, which seems to show a growing fear and a general mistrust for diversity.

Wolfgang Laib | Wolfgang Laib April 4 - June 7, 2009
From 9 April to 7 June 2009 the Fondazione Merz presents a one-man show of the German artist Wolfgang Laib curated by Beatrice Merz and Maria Centonze.

This large one-man show will be held in two moments: it will open with an installation of hundreds of small rice mountains, a line of small mountains of pollen and a great mountain of beeswax Ziggurat, which will fill the entire space of the Foundation.
