Wagner’s series In Situ: Traces of Morandi is the striking and colorful culmination of two years spent in residence at the Casa Morandi in Bologna and Giorgio Morandi’s country home in Grizzana. Wagner carefully arranges Morandi’s storied objects on top of a tabletop and casts a filtered light across them. The colored gels shift the setting to an imagined realm a degree removed from the room Wagner found herself in. The series builds upon Wagner’s skill in isolating objects to reveal something about their state of being; in this case, their existence across time resonates most strongly.Catherine Wagner’s 2015 work #278 +279 from the series In Situ: Traces of Morandi is featured in Morandi.
