Armando Marrocco is an Italian artist, painter and sculptor. He began his exhibition activity in 1968 in Milan and continued it over the next two decades with many significant appearances in solo and group exhibitions. The work ‘Molle’ in the Museum's collection alludes in an ironic and vaguely pop manner to a representation of the work of art which for the artist recalls (albeit in a sarcastic manner) natural reality. Once caressed, the steel springs collide with each other, generating sounds and noises as well as oscillations that recall the possibility of a sculptural element offering dynamic optical effects in a quest that involves the various senses and the involvement of the viewer.
