MIMMO PALADINO

Biography

1948 Born 18 December in Paduli, near Benevento, east of Naples

1964 Visits the Venice Biennale where the work of Robert Rauschenberg in the American Pavilion makes a strong impression, revealing to him the ‘reality of art’

1968 Completes his studies at the Liceo artistico di Benevento and within a year has participated in a group show in Naples. His early work uses photo-based imagery as well as showing an awareness of conceptual art: ‘…what I was really looking for was images. The frozen art, made with such a cold medium as the camera, certainly didn’t come naturally, and above all, I couldn’t have kept on making art along such a one-way track that excluded new possibilities’

Solo exhibition at the Galleria Carolina, Portici

1969 Solo exhibition at Enzo Cannaviello’s Studio Oggetto, Caserta

1973 Begins combining images in mixed media, building up a complex iconography that takes account of ‘a terrible mixture of messages from cultures, strangely opposed and divergent, though mixed together’

1977 Paints a seminal work that marks a shift towards painting at odds with current avant-garde practice: ‘I have always thought of my work as something which is on a borderline with risk. Even my first painting with an image came out in a moment when something of this kind was totally outside the idea of painting; and the title, not by chance, was Silence, I am retiring to paint a picture’

Shows a large mural in tempera with Galleria Lucio Amelio in Naples The same year he moves to Milan

1978 First visit to New York

1980 Invited by the Neapolitan critic Achille Bonito Oliva to show in the Aperto section of the Venice Biennale, together with Sandro Chia, Francesco Clemente, Enzo Cucchi and Nicola De Maria

Publication of the book-object EN DE RE in collaboration with Bonito Oliva (Emilio

Mazzoli, Modena)

Begins experimenting with etching, aquatint, lino-cuts and xylography

1981 Participates in A New Spirit in Painting at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, a major

exhibition that is shown the following year at the Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin, under the title Zeitgeist

A major solo exhibition of drawings from the previous five years is organised by the Kunstmuseum, Basel. It travels to the Kestner-Gesellschaft, Hannover, the

Mannheimer Kunstverein, Mannheim, and the Groninger Museum, Groningen, and launches Paladino as an international artist

Works on the first of four projects with the New York printmakers Harlan & Weaver 1982 Participates in the Sydney Biennale and in Documenta 7, Kassel

Realises his first sculpture in bronze, Giardino chiuso

Makes the first of numerous visits to Brazil where his father is living

1984 Builds a house and studio in Paduli, near Benevento. From now on, divides his time between Paduli and his apartment in Milan

Shows five recent works at the Newport Harbor Museum as part of Il Modo Italiano, a

survey of recent Italian art organized by the Los Angeles Institute of Contemporary Art and held in several venues

1985 First retrospective exhibition is held at the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus, Munich. Realises the Pietre, the first of several series of standing figures in white stone

1988 The Italian pavilion at the Venice Biennale devotes a large central space to a massive sculptural work consisting of enigmatic graphic symbols attached to the walls and a group of bronze figures

1989 Designs a Swatch watch which is produced in an edition of 100. ‘The idea was not to decorate a watch, but to design time. My Swatch is like a humorous vanitas, a poetic

symbol of passing time that was industrially manufactured’

1990 Commissioned by the theatre director Elio De Capitani to create a set for an open-air performance of the opera La sposa di Messina, based on Friedrich Schiller’s tragic

drama, and staged at Gibellina in Sicily as part of the Orestiadi festival. Paladino

devises a sculpture-environment to be seen by moonlight. It consists of a Zen garden made of raked gravel dominated by a 15 metre high mountain of salt from which emerge the charred forms of 30 wooden horses

1991 A major exhibition opens in Prague at the Belvedere, the royal castle that has been restored for the occasion; shows a cycle of seven new canvases inspired by the history of Prague, nine bronze torsos and works on paper. A sculpture of a fallen horse exhibited in a nearby piazza is removed after objections by a local bishop.

Completes a new cycle of twelve paintings on wood, Il respiro della bellezza. ‘I’ve

always painted as though the canvas itself were a living organism, to create a living, curious, palpitating thing. When I was applying a brushstroke to one of these works, I realised that this gesture was like breathing, like the panting of a man’

1992 Opening of Hortus Conclusus, a permanent sculpture installation for the Chiostro di

San Domenico at Benevento: ‘I liked the idea of a Hortus conclusus as a place for

looking at and contemplating the work of art …outside the constraints of the art gallery’

The Galleria Civica d’Arte Contemporanea in Trento holds a major exhibition of prints produced between 1970 and 1992

(3)

1993 Responds to the assassinations of two judges by the Sicilian Mafia, which also caused the deaths of many others, by painting seven large pictures ‘like a chorus, a requiem, which I then covered up with a coat of limestone wash (the same material used to bury the dead)’
