Aspetti della Metarazionalità. Beppe Bonetti Roma
curated by Carlo Franza
The exhibition, set up at the Circolo degli Esteri della Farnesina in Rome, opens on Thursday 3 October 2024 at 6:00 pm in the presence of ambassadors Umberto Vattani and Gaetano Cortese.
It is a project specifically designed for the Circolo Esteri of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Rome as part of the Farnesina Collection of Contemporary Art.
This exhibition entitled Aspects of Metarationality is the first of the new path, and is already a novelty as it brings to Rome names of contemporary art of significant importance, which highlight and shed light on the most intriguing developments in making art in the third millennium.
Carlo Franza writes in the text: Poetry, philosophy and thought are poles in which the visual language of Beppe Bonetti is combined, profound, elementary, initial, infinitely vibrant in all its extension. Bonetti has always worked on the world, on space, on constructions and disintegrations, on intermittencies, on ruptures, on implosions and explosions, on open and closed space, and more; a language and a magic alphabet, almost signs of yin and yang in Taoist spiritualism, where the broken line and the whole line have in themselves "a silent discourse". Bonetti praises surface and depth crossing a wandering and fleeting beauty, showing order and disorder, a world or more worlds that appear anchored to the triad module, sign, line, an aggregative and disintegrative geometry that sometimes falls into chaos.

Aspetti della Metarazionalità. Beppe Bonetti Bagnolo Mella
curated by Serena Filippini
The exhibition, set up in the halls of Palazzo Bertazzoli in Bagnolo Mella (Bs), opens on Saturday 4 March 2023 at 17.00 in the presence of the artist and will be open until Sunday 26 March 2023.
Beppe Bonetti, an artist who has been able to distinguish himself in Europe and in the world, is the protagonist of an exhibition which investigates, through the works he has created from the end of the 60s until today, Metarationality (Metarazionalità) as a critique of rationality, an expressive language that the artist elaborated in the 80s and which he translated into painting, a metaphor of the human that encloses all its opposite characters.

Relatore del primo incontro del ciclo "In_Contemporanea" è Beppe Bonetti, artista bresciano la cui opera Metarazionalità è esposta nel percorso permanente del museo. Coerentemente con la sintesi di razionale e irrazionale che è tra i principi cardine del movimento della Metarazionalità da lui fondato nel 1982 con Rudolf Rainer e Milan Zoricic, il suo lavoro indaga l'orizzonte della spiritualità intrecciando la perfezione armonica della geometria e il mistero simbolico del numero.

Beijing Biennale China - Italia
28 june - 20 august 2014
To create a successful exhibition, the curator team used nearly 10 months to visit studios of 200 artists in Mainland China. They did interviews one by one and selected 48 artists to enter the 2014 Biennale China-Italia. They all have enormous influence in Mainland China with the approval of international market value; this includes young artists who have a lot of possibilities in the future. Although they aren’t as well known as the other artists, but their independent spirit and unique language attracts the curators. There are also 43 Italian artists being selected. Overall, the art works focused on the topic of memories. This creates a big break through on visual language and connects the background of social life. Famous Chinese poet, curator, guest professor of Peking University and Jimei University, founder of Being 3 Art Gallery Mian Bu believed that: " The artists discovered memories and created rhetoric of memories when facing their own history, the art history and the future".
The topic of 2014 Biennale China-Italia is Memories. There’s an old Chinese saying that stated: " Good memories still don’t beat the things you write down". It means that no matter how good your memories are it’s still hard to avoid mistakes and forget things since we are human, so it’s always better to write things down. This old saying emphasized that things use words as a carrier to support memories; telling us the role of words in memories. Oscar Wilde once said: " Memories is the diary that everybody carries around."
Beppe Bonetti is present in the Italian selection with the

Celeste Impero. Variazione sul numero 7

The Biennale Italy - China is also a kind of comparison between two ancient cultures, each artist is expected therefore that, in addition to showing the most updated and modern has conceived and how it is able to interpret the issues described above, he deepens the knowledge of their colleagues extracontinentali with the awareness of the importance of its role as an acute observer and a witness of his time.
Nature has always been a source of inspiration for artists. The artist has to put in evidence, regardless of medium or technique used, the inherent qualities and the fundamental role that nature plays in ensuring the existence of man. It can also be a complaint against the inconsiderate exploitation of natural resources. Culture and nature must be the future for everyone.

Se vedere è già di per sè un atto creativo, è con tutta la sua ricerca artistica che Beppe Bonetti (Brescia, 1951) tiene viva la tensione dualistica tra l'ordine e il disordine, da lui definita con il termine Metarazionalità. I suoi lavori, fatti di sostanze che sono forme e per lo più segni (variopinti segmenti che frantumandosi generano altre forme compatte) e di accidenti quali colore, struttura tattile e forma visibile, sono raccolti oggi da ARTantide.com in questo primo volume del catalogo generale, concepito in parte come una retrospettiva e in parte come una rassegna che si proietta sul presente poichè unisce nuovi lavori a quelli eseguiti nell'arco di quarant'anni.
