Piegare e Spiegare
A conceptual work by Italian Arte Povera pioneer Alighiero Boetti, *Piegare e Spiegare* (Folding and Unfolding) engages with the artist's enduring fascination with duality, process, and the interplay between order and chance. The title itself functions as a poetic instruction, suggesting a cyclical and meditative act of transformation inherent in the work's physical or conceptual form. Characteristic of Boetti's practice, the piece invites contemplation of opposites held in tension — the simple and the complex, the visible and the concealed.
