BOETTI, BOLTANSKI, LÜTHI, PISTOLETTO, RAINER, RANALDI
(JE EST UN AUTRE)7

February 26th - May 3rd 2008

Under the title “Je est un autre” and exponentially raised to the symbolic figure of 7, the exhibition of the works of Alighiero Boetti, Christian Boltanski, Urs Lüthi, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Arnulf Rainer and Renato Ranaldi opened in Rome, on Monday 25th February 2008. In the two famous letters sent by Arthur Rimbaud, respectively of May 3rd and May 15th 1871 to Georges Izambard and Paul Demeny, the great “visionary” poet introduces in both of them the striking concept upon which the poetical critics first and the whole analytical and interrelational thought then, have been questioning regarding the multiple potential openness of that apparent paradox. Nonetheless, a remarkable part of the artistical visionariety, through the self-portrait or the evocation of the other’s self within the inquiry of the work, has competed to that mysterious identificative formula.
