News bulletin produced by the Galleria Deposito as a result of their 36th exhibition, a performed installation by Lucio Fontana held at the gallery on the 3rd October 1967. The ambienti spaziali (Spatial Environments) are among the most experimental works Lucio Fontana created. In these works the artist merged painting, sculpture, and architecture in an attempt to overcome the static conception of the plastic form, devising a space that the visitor could walk through and experience.

Some browning and spotting to sheets, with central horizontal fold causing tear across front cover.. (41.6 x 29.7 cm).. In the summer of 1971, an art exhibition was held on the old shooting range behind what had once been a Swedish Navy prison on Skeppsholmen island in Stockholm. The exhibition “Utopier och visioner 1871 - 1981” drew from a number of utopian scenarios, starting with the Paris Commune in 1871. In addition to an eclectic mix of materials relating to everyday life during the short duration of the commune, the exhibition also presented the architect Buckminster Fuller’s “World Game”, and discussed issues concerning the nature of future communications. The exhibition is remembered in part for the construction of a geodesic dome, where the artist Moki Cherry and the jazz musician Don Cherry, lived throughout the summer. It was here that they performed music, created set designs… Read More
