"Exhibition of Works by Sculptor Franca Ghitti"

USA United States of America
The public is invited to view the Franca Ghitti exhibition at The
Cooper Union. Works from this series are based on The Invisible Wayfarer
by Italo Calvino, an Italian novelist whose whimsical and imaginative
fables made him one of the most important Italian fiction writers in the
20th century. In Calvino's book, he wrote about cartography, which "was
born out of setting boundaries in land maps."
Ghitti has been working with
the theme of maps through an art since the 1960s and, by utilizing
salvaged wooden planks, the bottoms of large barrels, iron cables and
scraps of old notebooks, she tried to define a relationship between
habitat and sculpture.
