The exhibition unfolds through a play of weights and counterweights, where the deep black<\/em> that characterizes Grassino\u2019s universe acts as a visual center of gravity, endowed with a strong volumetric density. In response, Ruggiero adopts a practice of subtraction that overturns the traditional concept of relief. His introrilievi<\/em>\u2014reliefs that develop inward rather than outward\u2014do not project toward the viewer, but carve out a space of absence, defining the figure through emptiness, imprint, and trace.<\/h4>\n[\/nectar_highlighted_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][split_line_heading animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” font_style=”p” line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”default” stagger_animation=”true” content_alignment=”default” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” link_target=”_self” text_content=”The exhibition project, curated by Marco Senaldi, sees for the first time the plastic researches of Giovanni Ruggiero and Paolo Grassino dialoguing.
\nThe exhibition is not configured as a simple juxtaposition of works, but as a real close confrontation between two visions of sculpture that, although starting from divergent technical assumptions, converge in a radical reflection on vulnerability, trauma and the persistence of the human imprint in the present. The title itself suggests a dimension of physical and intellectual struggle with matter, a tension that can be felt as one traverses the gallery space, where the scenic and objective presence of Grassino's sculptures meets, reacts to, and clashes with the hollowed-out depth of Ruggiero's introriliefs in a harmony of contrasts.” font_size=”1.2vw” max_width=”90%” font_line_height=”1.8″ font_size_tablet=”16px” text_direction=”default”][\/split_line_heading][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50px”][nectar_btn size=”medium” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”Download the press release (italian)” url=”https:\/\/www.m45milano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/COM-STAMPA-CORPO-A-CORPO.docx”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#d0d7dd” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”8%” text_color=”light” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” id=”valore” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-6-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” font_color=”#ffffff” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”flip-in-vertical” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][split_line_heading animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” font_style=”h2″ text_color=”#000000″ line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”default” stagger_animation=”true” content_alignment=”default” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” link_target=”_self” text_content=”Some of the works on display” font_size=”3vw”][\/split_line_heading][divider line_type=”No Line”][carousel script=”flickity” flickity_formatting=”default” desktop_cols_flickity=”4″ desktop_small_cols_flickity=”3″ tablet_cols_flickity=”2″ phone_cols_flickity=”1″ flickity_controls=”touch_total” flickity_touch_total_style=”solid_bg” flickity_touch_total_indicator_bg_color=”#a43038″ flickity_touch_total_indicator_icon_color=”#ffffff” flickity_touch_total_hide_indicator=”true” color=”default” flickity_overflow=”visible” flickity_wrap_around=”no-wrap” flickity_spacing=”15px” flickity_column_vertical_alignment=”default” column_padding=”0″ flickity_element_spacing=”0″ flickity_image_scale_on_drag=”true” border_radius=”none”][item simple_slider_bg_image_position=”default” simple_slider_overlay_strength=”0.3″ simple_slider_bg_image_loading=”default” id=”1774540473057-7″ title=”Item” tab_id=”1774540473057-8″][fancy_box box_style=”image_above_text_underline” image_url=”954″ image_aspect_ratio=”1-1″ content_color=”#000000″ border_radius=”default” image_loading=”lazy-load” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-right”]\n
