Matt Mullican at Palazzo della Ragione, Bergamo

Matt Mullican: That Person's Heaven

Mai 36 Galerie is pleased to announce That Person’s Heaven, a solo exhibition by Matt Mullican, curated by Stefano Raimondi, at the historic Palazzo della Ragione in Bergamo.

The title of the exhibition references That Person: a specific character that Mullican embodies during his hypnosis sessions, an alter ego that does not fully coincide with the artist, yet which inhabits his body and uses his voice. It is an entity expressed through childish gestures, with a language that is apparently unfiltered, at times chaotic, at other times surprisingly lucid. It is precisely in a state of hypnosis that the work is created, presented in its entirety as a monumental 16 x 16-metre square grid, housing thirty-two works of equal size, half in black and white and half in red.
