The Pino Pascali foundation hosts the temporary exhibition “Pupi & Fantocci”
The Pino Pascali Foundation reopens to the public on Tuesday 16 February 2021. In addition to the permanent collection, with the works of the winning artists of the Pino Pascali Award and the magnificent Cinque Bachi da setola e un bozzolo by Pino Pascali, at the museum visitors will find a playful and imaginative exhibition for adults and children entitled Pupi & Fantocci. The papier-mâché puppets made by the master Deni Bianco from Putignano, one of the best known nationally in the art of papier-mâché, start from the famous drawings for commercials for Algida and other TV spots drawn by Pascali. A technique, that of papier-mâché, which in Puglia has very ancient origins and still uses ‘poor’ materials such as old paper, iron wire, plaster, glue with water and flour. The drawings by Pino Pascali date back to the 1960s and tell the ironic and surreal stories of characters who live in imaginative tales for the TV Carousels.
