International Exhibition of Nothing

International Exhibition of Nothing by Piero Manzoni (1960)

International Exhibition of Nothing (Esposizione internazionale del Niente) was a modern art and conceptual movement which originated in Italy in the early 20th century. It was largely an Italian phenomenon, based on nothing, on emptiness, on the invisible, the pieces are an "empty space".

The Publishing manifestos of International Exhibition of Nothing has been a feature of the invisible art movement led by Piero Manzoni.

International Exhibition of Nothing is an exhibition invented in 1960 by a group of artists including Piero Manzoni,[1] Enrico Castellani, Carl Laszlo, Heinz Mack, in which an exhibition of invisible works was represented, the exhibition will then be exhibited again a year later in the Netherlands. In 2015,[2] the exhibition is once again held in Milan in collaboration with the Manzoni Foundation, also exhibited the original "Manifesto" of the time, which was published in Basel in 1960.[3][4] In 2020, Salvatore Garau reinterprets the concepts of invisibility with the idea of the "Cycle of Absences" in a completely innovative way.
