Qui e altrove. Gli ambienti di Paolo Scheggi 1964 – 1971
Curated by Emma Zanella and Ilaria Bignotti

From May 24, 2026

The exhibition is entirely dedicated to Paolo Scheggi (1940–1971), one of the international protagonists of the experimental investigations of the 1960s, heir to Spatialism and one of the founders of monochrome and object painting. The exhibition, curated by Emma Zanella, director of MA*GA, and Ilaria Bignotti, scientific curator of the Scheggi Archive, and organized in collaboration with the Paolo Scheggi Association, which provided the works and literary and iconographic documents on display, celebrates the addition of the Tuscan master's work entitled Modular Structure (1967) into the permanent collections of the MA*GA Museum, made possible thanks to the winning of the call for proposals launched by PAC-Piano per l'Arte Contemporanea 2025 (Plan for Contemporary Art 2025) of the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture. 
The exhibition, held concurrently with a similar initiative dedicated to Vincenzo Agnetti, focuses on a specific and fundamental aspect of Scheggi's research, namely the plastic integration of architecture, which took the form of projects for livable and walkable environments created between 1964 and 1971, the year of his untimely death.

An unmissable and unprecedented opportunity to discover both Paolo Scheggi's unique conception of space, understood as a driver of experience and contemplation connected to a precise idea of time as a laboratory for experimenting with perception and a place of connection between an archetypal past and a prophetic future, and his development of a mythical-political language.
