Angelo Bozzola and His Technosculptures

ORGANIZED BY ISU BOCCONI, THE EXHIBITION WILL BE INAUGURATED ON MONDAY 24 JUNE AT 6PM AND WILL BE VISIBLE IN THE BOCCONI RESTAURANT HALL IN VIA SARFATTI 25 UNTIL SEPTEMBER 13, FROM MONDAY TO SATURDAY, FROM 9AM TO 12PM

“Angelo Bozzola’s consistent pursuit rooted in the distant history of the MAC movement in Milan (around the ‘50s) to reach the present – still intact and vital – is in itself exemplary”, says Gillo Dorfels.

Thus, from the construction of a well-defined plastic-spatial image – which was and is his trapezoidovoid module – Bozzola has, over the years, multiplied the experiences that led him to decidedly plastic works, as well as other two-dimensional pieces with a rather graphic feel, and others still where the modular element composes complex “Operational Techno-sculptures” (according to the definition of the author himself).

The module, as the building block of an artistic work, has been used by many artists in our era, starting from the first constructivist influence, up to the most recent pursuits of the Zagrebian “Nova Tendencija,” Italian programmed art and international pop art.

In Bozzola’s case, his adherence, and even total submission, to this modular constant has allowed him to develop an extremely varied range of works. These include multiples built with different materials, real metallic sculptures, chromatically developed “cards,” with some more imaginative graphic “variations” which, perhaps, reveal a tendency towards a neo-decorativism that does not lack interesting evolutionary possibilities.
