Often linked to the Arte Povera movement, Giulio Paolini is best known for an artistic practice that is inscribed in a more strictly conceptual sphere. From the outset of his career, Paolini has developed a complex research centred as much on the artist’s tools as on the figure of the artist as an operator of language and accomplice of the viewer.
The main characteristics of his artistic expression include citation, duplication and fragmentation, which are used as expedients for staging the distance between a finished model for making the work a ‘theatre of evocation.’ Articulated and composed designs, centred on additive dynamics (ordering, repetition, juxtaposition) and centrifugal forces, (explosions and dispersions starting from the centre) or centripetal ones (concentration, superimposition, joining), accompany the procedures drawing from a vast store of cultural mythologies and memories that are recaptured in photography, collage and plaster casts.
More recently, Paolini’s incessant investigation of the definition and purpose of the work has been insistently concerned with the act of exhibiting, which he sees as the fundamental moment of encountering the work. From 1969 onwards Paolini worked intensely in the theatre, for many years in collaboration with Carlo Quartucci. Since his first group exhibition in 1961 and his first solo show in 1964, he has held countless exhibitions in galleries and museums worldwide. Major retrospectives include those at the Palazzo della Pilotta in Parma (1976), the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam (1980), the Nouveau Musée in Villeurbanne (1984), the Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart (1986), the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna in Rome (1988), the Neue Galerie am Landesmuseum Joanneum in Graz (1998), the Fondazione Prada in Milan (2003), the Kunstmuseum Winterthur (2005), MACRO – Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome (2013), the Whitechapel Gallery in London (2014), the Fondazione Carriero in Milan (2018), and the Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art, Rivoli-Turin (2020). He has participated in several Arte Povera exhibitions and has been invited numerous times to Documenta in Kassel (1972, 1977, 1982, 1992) and the Venice Biennale (1970, 1976, 1978, 1980, 1984, 1986, 1993, 1995, 1997, 2013). His work is represented in numerous international public collections. A graphic designer by training, he has always maintained a particular interest in the publishing field and the written page. From the very beginning, he has accompanied his artistic research with reflections collected in books he personally edited: from Idem, published in 1975 by Einaudi with an introduction by Italo Calvino, to Quattro passi. Nel museo senza muse (Einaudi, Turin 2006), Dall’Atlante al Vuoto in ordine alfabetico (Electa, Milan 2010), L’autore che credeva di esistere (Johan & Levi, Monza 2012), and Eccomi. Qui dove sono (Fondazione Giulio e Anna Paolini, Turin 2025). Since 1969, he has also designed sets and costumes for theatrical productions, most notably the projects created with Carlo Quartucci in the 1980s and the recent set designs for two operas by Richard Wagner at the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples, directed by Federico Tiezzi.
