                  <text>&lt;p&gt;Giulio Paolini was born on November 5th, 1940 in Genoa, and lives in Turin.&amp;nbsp;Since his first participation in a group exhibition (1961) and his first solo show (1964), he has had countless exhibitions in galleries and museums the world over. His major retrospectives include: the Palazzo della Pilotta in Parma (1976), Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam (1980), Nouveau Mus&amp;eacute;e in Villeurbanne (1984), Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart (1986), Galleria Nazionale d&amp;rsquo;Arte Moderna in Rome (1988), Neue Galerie am Landesmuseum Joanneum in Graz (1998), GAM Galleria Civica d&amp;rsquo;Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in Turin (1999), Fondazione Prada in Milan (2003), Kunstmuseum in Winterthur (2005), MACRO Museo d&amp;rsquo;Arte Contemporanea Roma in Rome (2013) and Whitechapel Gallery in London (2014). He has participated in many Arte povera exhibitions and has been invited on several occasions to the Documenta in Kassel (1972, 1977, 1982, 1992) as well as to the Venice Biennale (1970, 1976, 1978, 1980, 1984, 1986, 1993, 1995, 1997, 2013). Since 1969 he has also designed sets and costumes for the theatre, notably projects devised with Carlo Quartucci in the eighties and the recent sets for two Wagner operas directed by Federico Tiezzi.&amp;nbsp;Having trained as a graphic designer, he has always nurtured special interest in the field of publishing and writing. From the outset his artistic exploration has been accompanied by his thoughts, collected in books he has personally edited: from &lt;em&gt;Idem&lt;/em&gt;, published in 1975 by Einaudi with an introduction by Italo Calvino, to his most recent publications, &lt;em&gt;Quattro passi. Nel museo senza muse&lt;/em&gt; (Einaudi, Turin 2006), &lt;em&gt;Dall&amp;rsquo;Atlante al Vuoto in ordine alfabetico&lt;/em&gt; (Electa, Milan 2010) and &lt;em&gt;L&amp;rsquo;autore che credeva di esistere&lt;/em&gt; (Johan &amp;amp; Levi, Milan 2012).&amp;nbsp;Many books have been published devoted to Paolini&amp;rsquo;s oeuvre: from the first monograph written by Germano Celant (Sonnabend Press, New York 1972) to the volume by Francesco Poli (Lindau, Turin 1990) and, lastly, the Catalogue Raisonn&amp;eacute; of the artist&amp;rsquo;s works dated from 1960 to 1999, edited by Maddalena Disch (Skira Editore, Milan 2008).&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;The project by Giulio Paolini entitled &lt;em&gt;Quadro generale&lt;/em&gt; (&lt;em&gt;Overview)&lt;/em&gt; was developed by the artist between 2010 and 2012, and intended to be placed near the south steps within the Sully Wing of the Louvre Museum in Paris, which commissioned the piece. Although the artist's proposal had been approved in its final version in the summer of 2012, the initiative was not followed through for various reasons, including the appointment of a new director at the museum. The installation that Paolini had designed included a geometric structure in stainless steel, built around a square hanging from the ceiling in the center of the space. It contained fragments of plexiglass engraved with the same geometric designs which would have been placed on the surrounding walls, as if they had been scattered by an explosion of the nucleus. This complex structure, by its nature variable and cryptic although clearly structured, represents – as Paolini himself stated - the very idea of the museum: "some sort of 'big bang' of continued proliferation destined to an inexorable, vertiginous fragmentation until it almost exhausts much like a 'black hole' that prevents us to decipher it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.repository.unipr.it/bitstream/1889/2903/1/Paolini_Quadro%20Generale.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Read more&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
