The MAN Museum of Art Province of Nuoro hosts , from Friday 21 June to Sunday 20 October 2019 , the first major exhibition in a Italian museum dedicated to Guido Guidi (Cesena, 1941), one of the most significant protagonists of Italian photography after the Second World War. Guido Guidi – IN SARDINIA: 1974, 2011 it is an exhibition curated by Irina Zucca Alessandrelli and co-produced by MAN in collaboration with ISRE , Higher Regional Ethnographic Institute of Sardinia. The exhibition presents 232 unpublished photographs which testify to Guido Guidi’s relationship with the Sardinian territory, resumed for the first time in 1974 and subsequently in 2011, the year of an important commission by ISRE.
The exhibition constitutes at the same time a anthropological and landscape story of the changes that have occurred on the island over the course of four decades and one research path on the medium of photography which places black and white images from the Seventies and color works from the 2000s in dialogue.
The works on display, reprinted by the artist for the exhibition, are documented in a catalog in three volumes i in box set published by MACK Books , London-based publisher of contemporary photography.
