Daniel Buren. “Doing, Undoing, Redoing” Faire, Défaire, Refaire Works in situ and situated 1968-2025 8/03-27/07/25 PALAZZO BUONTALENTI Via de' Rossi 7 Pistoia, 51100 Italia +39 0573 974267 www.pistoiamusei.it Until 27 July at Palazzo Buontalenti, a selection of historical works and some works created and recreated especially for Pistoia by the French artist, global reference point for conceptual and minimal art. Pistoia dedicates a major exhibition to Daniel Buren (Boulogne-Billancourt, France, 1938), a leading figure on the international art scene. This important exhibition opens on 8 March 2025 and is organised by Fondazione Pistoia Musei, with the support of Fondazione Caript and in collaboration with Galleria Continua. Curated by Daniel Buren and Monica Preti, it will be an important opportunity for visitors to discover the French artist's work. With a number of original works created especially for Pistoia Musei, together with a wide selection of works and studies, the exhibition offers an overview of the artist's career and highlights his enduring relationship with Italy. Although the exhibition is mainly on display in the Palazzo Buontalenti, Palazzo de' Rossi and the Antico Palazzo dei Vescovi, the exhibition also reaches outside the museum's halls to some works that establish a relationship with the city and its territory, with which Daniel Buren has long had a strong connection.

Works in situ The exhibition ideally extends beyond Pistoia, in an itinerary that includes several sites in Tuscany, from Quarrata to the Fattoria di Celle in Santomato di Pistoia, to Colle di Val d'Elsa, Villa Medicea La Magia in Quarrata, and the Castello di Ama. In these contexts, Buren's numerous permanent works in situ not only engage in a dialogue with the topography of the area, but are also inextricably linked to the places where they were created, making them unique. This geographical specificity offers visitors a unique experience: the museum where the exhibition takes place becomes the starting point for a journey through one of the regions richest in permanent works by the artist in situ. A journey that evolves in time and space, questions the very concept of the exhibition and opens up new possibilities for interaction between art and context.[5]

In collaboration with the Municipality of Pistoia, the Walk in the Contemporary route is also proposed, which invites visitors to discover not only the works of Buren, but also other masterpieces of contemporary art in Pistoia. The list of stops along the route can be consulted on the Pistoia Musei website (www.pistoiamusei.it/arte-contemporanea-pistoia).

Tuscany Travel Guide \| Art in Florence \| Palazzo Strozzi Tuscany Travel Guide \| Art in Florence \| Palazzo StrozziArt in Tuscany \| The guide to the art and towns of Tuscany Tuscany has an immense cultural and artistic heritage, expressed in the region's numerous churches, palaces, art galleries, museums, villages and piazzas. Much of these artifacts are found in the main cities, such as Florence and Siena, but also in smaller villages scattered around the region, such as San Gimignano, Pienza, Chiusi, Massa Marittima and many others. Tuscany has some of the very best art galleries in the world. These include the Uffizi Gallery, the Bargello Museum and Santa Croce Museum. Mediaeval era and the Renaissance is the epoch which also left the enormous quantity of art masterpieces in Tuscany. Tuscany is known for its beautiful landscapes, its rich artistic legacy and vast influence on high culture. Tuscany is widely regarded as the true birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, and has been home to some of the most influential people in the history of arts and science, such as Dante Alighieri, Francesco Petrarca, Giovanni Boccaccio, Sandro Botticelli, Raffaello Santi, Giotto, Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Giorgio Vazari and many others and Puccini. Due to this, the region has several museums, most of which (such as the Uffizi and the Pitti Palace) are found in Florence, but others in towns and smaller villages.
