The Museo Novecento is pleased to present from Saturday 15 March to Sunday 8 June Un passo avanti tanti dietro, the largest retrospective of Marion Baruch (Timisoara, 1929) in an Italian institution, curated by Sergio Risaliti and Stefania Rispoli. The exhibition, a tribute to a tireless and cosmopolitan artist, born in Romania but lived between Israel, France and Italy, will also extend into the spaces of Manifattura Tabacchi and Polimoda, which collaborated and contributed generously to the realization of the project, where several environmental installations will be presented.

The exhibition will allow us to retrace her intense activity, almost seventy years marked by continuous changes of direction and new adventures, thanks to the presence of emblematic works of her multifaceted path, from the early works of the late Fifties to the collaborations with designers such as Gavina, from performative sculptures to the birth of NAME DIFFUSION, from participatory works to the fabric works created after the year 2000.

Supporter of an idea of ??free authorship without constraints and of an art always close to life, Baruch has moved with ease between media, materials and different disciplines, from fashion to design, to the visual arts, carrying forward a unique approach to formalism. Her works are full of reflections on artistic creation but also on social policies: language, work, migration, the border of identity, women, patriarchy, the internet and the consumer society.
