Exhibitions

The celebration of the Italian Capital of Culture in Parma brings the Labyrinth to a new location. The figure of Franco Maria Ricci, the great publisher and intellectual who passed away in 2020, is the focus of the exhibition THE SIGNS OF MAN presented within the rooms of Palazzo Pigorini.

Labirinto della Masone’s Spring exhibition, LABIRINTI. Storia di un segno, is also part of the program of activities for the 2020+21 Italian Capital of Culture in Parma.

Enrico Robusti, a contemporary painter from Parma (b. 1957), is the subject of an exhibition of paintings at Labirinto della Masone.
The exhibition, which was strongly supported by Franco Maria Ricci, includes four new works created specifically for this occasion.

Labirinto della Masone’s Autumn exhibition is dedicated to the iconic Dutch art magazine Wendingen. Innovative in its time, its publication coincided with a period of great transition for art and graphic design in Europe that saw the tradition of Jugendstil challenged by the emergence of both the Bauhaus in Weimar and De Stijl.

This exhibition presenting the work of sixteenth-century artists Jacopo Zanguidi, alias Bertoja (1544-1573), and Girolamo Mirola (1530/35-1570), both from Reggio Emilia, represents an important art historical discovery.

Delacroix, Warhol, Manet, Matisse, Picasso, Klimt, Kandinsky, Depero, De Chirico, Campigli, Mattioli and Fontana: the subject of this exhibition is not paintings, but a collection of hundreds of splendidly conceived pages, colorfully drawn by some of the most famous artists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and collected in a series of artist books.

Kunstkammern, camere delle meraviglie, cabinets of curiosities: there were many ways to describe these rooms full of rare, precious and unique objects, in many languages, a source of pride for monarchs, princes and nobles throughout Europe and places of wonder for those fortunate enough to see them.

In this exhibition, a suite of five drawings, on loan from CSAC with the kind permission of the University of Parma, some of them never before published, tells the story of the monumental power plants built in Northern Italy at the start of the twentieth century.

In 2018, Labirinto della Masone’s Spring exhibition takes its title from Pangaea, the super-continent that broke up 180 million years ago, creating two continents, Laurasia and Gondwana, the direct predecessors of Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, and Antarctica.

Renowned Mexican sculptor Javier Marín is the subject of the major fall exhibition at Labirinto della Masone.
