Bizhan Bassiri: Meteorite Narvalo

Ca’ Pesaro presents Bizhan Bassiri, the representative of the Republic of Iran at the 57th Venice International Biennale of Art in 2017, with his monumental sculptural installation Meteorite Narvalo at its courtyard. The 10-metre-high bronze colossus with its platinum tip is the expression of Bassiri’s own visceral, three- dimensional, atavistic conception of “magmatic thought” and the Manifesto of Magmatic Thought, which he formulated in Rome in the early 1980s.
