Descrizione:
Armando Marrocco is an Italian artist, painter and sculptor. He began his exhibition activity in 1968 in Milan and continued it over the next two decades with many significant appearances in solo and group exhibitions. The work ‘Dondolo’ (Rocking), like the other work ‘Molle’ (Springs) in the Museum's collection, is part of a field of research that ironically alludes to a possible alternative to classical sculpture.
Specifically, ‘Dondolo’ is the result of a round wooden table cut on the diagonal that recalls the old children's game. The need to obtain movement and sounds by acting on one side determines a different relationship with the public observing the work, which becomes a co-protagonist of the author's artistic choice.
