* Version anglaise *
Seeking to penetrate the mystery of the infinite-as philosophers, theologians, mathematicians, physicists, poets, writers, and artists have attempted to do throughout history-signifies entering the boundless and labyrinthine territories of the indeterminate, the absolute, the sum total of the incalculable, the indescribable, the immense, the cosmic, the infinitesimal, the transfinite, the extreme, the divine, Nothingness, the void.
The Latin term infinitum, chosen for its particularly evocative power, has been divided by a hyphen into in-finitum to suggest a more complex and problematic interpretation, including the infinite in the finite, the indefinite, and the unfinished. The exhibition In-Finitum displays about 300 objects on the 4 levels of Palazzo Fortuny. The works of art range from archaeological non-finished items over incomplete Old Master paintings to contemporary installations capturing the infinity. The works on show come from the collection of Axel Vervoordt, from the Musei Civici Veneziani and from various public and private collections all over the world.
The book features essays by Giandomenico Romanelli, artistic director of the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia Francesco Poli, professor at the University of Turin and Milan, art critic and specialist of Arte Povera Eddi De Wolf, physicist, researcher at the CERN in Geneva and professor at the University of Antwerp Nico Van Hout, Doctor in art history who did research on the non-finito in art Norbert Jocks, art critic and writer for Kunstforum and a conversation between Axel Vervoordt, president of the Vervoordt Foundation and the Japanese architect Tatsuro Miki.
