Marisa Merz's Magical Arte Povera
Arte Povera, or "Poor Art" was born in Italy during the 60s. The movement's artistic aims were to rail against what they saw as cynical consumerism and elitism in the art world, by creating pieces from the most everyday and banal materials. Despite being marginalised at the time as the only female member, history has shown Marisa Merz to be one of the greatest exponents of the group.
Kunst Please is a micro-dose of modern art history. An exploration into the more unexpected side of modern and contemporary art, featuring stories of the famous and the infamous, the weird and the wonderful, the unheard, the cult, the criminally overlooked and the criminally insane. Created and produced by Jonathan Heath.
