On 1 April famed Italian artist
Michelangelo Pistoletto‘s solo exhibition,
Do It, will open at YARAT Contemporary Art Centre in Baku, Azerbaijan, the non-profit organization founded by artists and established in 2011 by
Aida Mahmudova. One of the contemporary art world’s biggest names, Michelangelo Pistoletto, has long been synonymous with the art movement of Art Povera, as well as his instantly recognisable mirror works.
Born in Italy, in 1933, Pistoletto is heavily inspired and intrigued by the ever-growing uncertainty behind the world’s changing climate and the subsequent wellbeing of the Earth, and his extensive artistic oeuvre often plays with notions of materiality and space. In 1998, Pistoletto founded the Cittadellarte Foundation in his hometown of Biella.
It provides educational programmes and workshops for school children and artists, as well as a series of lectures for university students. These lectures and workshops educate people on the importance of being an actively engaged community member. Citadellarte currently works with a network of thousands of subjects, alongside agencies such as the United Nations.
