About
Maurizio Nannucci's work unravels within the liminal spaces between words and sounds, where Concrete Poetry and Conceptual Art converge. From Florence to South Baden, his exploratory practice has etched itself into the avant-garde fabric since the mid-sixties. "Testi Sonori And Radiopoems 1965-1972" (1978, Edition S Press) — a sculptural symphony of language captured on cassette — reverberates with the fractal complexity of spoken word and sound. This release, like a sonic fractal, distills the essence of textual resonance. Nannucci's preference for the cassette format speaks to a desire for an intimate auditory experience, each tape a portable gallery of auditory sculptures. His publications, such as "Rose aux…" and "Star Scrivendo," traverse the interdisciplinary fields of artist’s books and sound installations, where text becomes both visual and aural architecture. In dialogue with contemporaries like Arrigo Lora-Totino and Henri Chopin, Nannucci’s oeuvre exists in a state of continual process-driven evolution. His neon installations and sound pieces are not mere objects but experiences that challenge the listener to engage with the space around them. The Italian avant-garde found a critical voice in Nannucci — a voice that continues to resonate through the corridors of conceptual and auditory art.
