L’artista multidisciplinare Francesco Impellizeri protagonista di un nuovo appuntamento de I Martedì Critici. Il video

Francesco Impellizeri, a multidisciplinary artist born in Trapani in 1958, is the subject of the third seasonal appointment of "I Martedì Critici," a series of meetings curated by Alberto Dambruoso and Loredana Rea. The article explores Impellizeri's career, which began in the mid-1980s and blends painting, music, photography, and performance into a distinctive, eccentric language. His work often uses paradox and sarcasm to critique contemporary stereotypes, as seen in performances like "Desfilè: mannequin per nient" and his series of "Pensierini"—childlike notebook pages that address political and social themes. His exhibitions span from the Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa in Venice to the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid and the Museo del Barrio in New York.
