DESCRIPTION:Frittelli arte contemporanea is pleased to open the new year with the most
extensive solo exhibition of Nanni Balestrini's work to date presented in
its spaces. In its third appointment with the Florentine gallery, the work
of Balestrini (Milan 1935 - Rome 2019) is the protagonist of a new
exhibition that traverses the different periods of the artist's activity
with largely unpublished works. The exhibition entitled La rivolta
illustrata (The Illustrated Revolt) is curated by Marco Scotini and brings
together more than one hundred works involving several media: from the
well-known collages on paper to acrylics, from plastic materials to
textures.

The title is inspired by one of Balestrini's most famous books published by
Einaudi in 1976, which is La violenza illustrata, a book with a strongly
visual character - despite the fact that the text is not accompanied by any
images - that shows how Balestrini uses words as images and vice versa. In
this sense, the exhibition La rivolta illustrata intends to refer to the
word as a visual object that is either cut, disjointed and assembled as an
image or shattered to such an extent that it becomes an abstract pattern.
Without relinquishing, however, the semantic character (albeit altered)
that every word entails. All his collages presuppose that they are seen and
read at the same time, since the verbal material is - in each case - their
object.

Opening on Saturday 17 January 2026, 6 p.m.: the event will be opened by
Antonio Rezza, who will give voice to some excerpts from Vogliamo tutto by
Nanni Balestrini.
