Jannis Kounellis was a key figure of contemporary art and cofounder of the Italian Arte Provera movement of the sixties. The Arte Povera movement played a critical role in redefining artistic practice, with central figures like Jannis Kounellis breaking down boundaries and establishing new vocabularies through their experimentations with performance, installation, and found materials. Jannis Kounellis uses objects from everyday life and nature which are condensed to symbolic gestures. the exhibit is about masking and unmasking. The interaction between the wall and room elements and the relativity of disguised and exposed are Kounellis’ means of creating tension in the room. The material presence of the installation contradicts the imagination of the concealed. Ships by USPS Media Rate Mail. Track Page Views With Auctiva's Counter
