For the love of the master, 25 artists fascinated by Piranesi
The exhibition For the love of the master, 25 artists fascinated by Piranesi shows contemporary artworks that respond to the work of Piranesi and to his interpretation of the classical world.
The scenographers on their scenography:
“ The two locations where the exhibition takes place presented a challenge: creating a scenography to suit both a white cube and a historical building. The Coach House Galleries in Dublin Castle, provided us with two neutral ‘white boxes’, while the beautiful Casino at Marino with its 18th-century interiors is composed of series of smaller rooms, full of details charged with historic layers. In order to anchor the concept of the latent landscape, we superimposed the cross-shaped plan of the Casino and its piano nobile on the Kane Room in the Coach House. The works are placed like temporary inhabitants, gradually being discovered – in the same way that the visitor discovers the rooms. “
