L'Age d'Or, Alcova, Villa Borsani (MB)

Atelier dell'Errore at Villa Borsani (Alcova)

In the most iconic room of Villa Borsani and in the presence of Lucio Fontana, Atelier dell'Errore (AdE) presents a red monolith (Red Idol) and a black monolith (Black Idol). Two sculptural idols of the AdE pantheon that cover the extremes of the representable, from the ‘beyond-figurative’ to the conceptual. As a corollary to this sacred and silent conversation the Idolone Lanternorato, a huge creature in gold leaf on paper and some reverent minor deities from AdE's  Age d’Or, where the archaic technique of gold leaf, free of all conceptualisation, is reborn in AdE's ‘beyond-zoological’ figuration.
