Inspired by The Rainbow Show, which took place in San Francisco in 1975, MUDEC hosts an exhibition project composed of different stories related to the rainbow as a natural, cultural, spiritual and human phenomenon.
The exhibition opens with a site-specific installation conceived by the American artist Cory Arcangel (b.1978) especially for the iconic space of the Agora: a rainbow gradient carpet, generated by computer algorithm, transforms the optical phenomenon from a digital abstraction into a tangible object.
On entering the exhibition halls, a total experience is created by the work of Laura Grisi (1939-2017): through a ray of light refracted by 4 prisms, we seem to witness not only a physical phenomenon, but the creation of a miracle. An ancient miracle is also represented by Sinibaldo Scorza’s (1589-1631) Sacrifice of Noah after the Flood, in which the rainbow is a symbol of divine forgiveness and a promise of new life.
Another section of the exhibition, prepared in collaboration with Milan’s Natural History Museum, explores the way animals perceive colour, doubting the primacy of human vision. We also reflect over the colour as communication system that can be seen not only in the colourful plumage of birds, but also in the garish hues of the Australian Maratus spider, filmed by Maria Fernanda Cardoso (b.1963).
