 Michelangelo Pistoletto: From One to Many, 1956-1974 and are the two Cittadellarte 
 MAXXI exhibitions, co-produced with the Philadelphia Museum of Art, dedicated to the great Master 
 Italian, from 4 March to 15 August 2011. 
 Michelangelo Pistoletto: one to many, 1956-1974, with more than 100 jobs 
 from public collections and private Italian and American, tells a 
 of the most important living Italian artists internationally recognized as a key figure in the art 
 Contemporary, one of the founding members of Arte Povera and 
 point of reference for the younger generation, 
 Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale of 2003, the United States 
 considered a forerunner of the artistic practices of collaborative participation. 
 Cittadellarte is a focus on the homonymous 
 Pistoletto creative laboratory founded in 1998 in Biella, where art is made even more networking, 
 direct interaction with society. The project takes as its starting point 
 experimental artistic practices undertaken in the sixties which included the 
 involvement and active participation of the public. 
 
 PISTOLETTO MICHELANGELO: FROM ONE TO MANY, 1956 - 1974 
 The exhibition deals with the artistic life of Pistoletto, a rigorous investigation 
 on the representation of himself to the development of creative collaborations 
 that characterize his current research. 
 The works are arranged in three main groups. 
 The Mirror Paintings Plexiglass and are displayed together respecting the conceptual grouping 
 originally intended by the artist. Here the artist portrays 
 friends, family, acquaintances up to groups of people in the series of Comizi 
 and Events, which explores the socio-political themes. 
 Objects less, the rags and the works of the series lights and reflections, 
 are placed together in a single environment. The Rags, previously used by 
 Pistoletto polishing his mirrors, exceed the original 
 and become objects of art: the iconic Venus of the Rags, on display, 
 can be considered the symbol of Arte Povera. 
 A separate space is reserved for actions and performance of artists of the theater group 
 Zoo hosts and props related to performance, video and photographic documentation 
.
