ill., ril. Maria Lai (1919-2013) è la più internazionale degli artisti nati in Sardegna, celebrata nel 2017 alla Biennale di Venezia e alla più prestigiosa delle rassegne d'arte contemporanea al mondo: la mostra Documenta, nelle due sedi di Atene e Kassel; nel 2018 sarà protagonista di un'importante mostra a palazzo Pitti a Firenze, promossa dagli Uffizi. Il volume ne ripercorre tutti i filoni di ricerca, attraverso opere selezionate presso le raccolte pubbliche ma in gran parte individuate nelle collezioni private internazionali. Gli sviluppi del suo percorso sono accompagnati da numerosi materiali inediti, indispensabili spesso a ricostruire azioni nate per restare effimere, dichiarate dalla storiografia come "primi esperimenti di Arte Relazionale" in ambito europeo. Lai ha infatti capovolto il rapporto fra artista e osservatore, facendo diventare la gente il vero autore dell'opera. È un modo nuovo di pensare e praticare l'arte che non elimina quello canonico, piuttosto gli si accosta e ne amplia il senso.

ill., br. "Quanti palpiti emotivi e quante suggestioni di straordinaria attualità ci trasmettono la ricerca, la produzione artistica di una donna venuta al mondo cento anni fa nel cuore della Sardegna più remota, in un paesino dell'Ogliastra, protagonista di una lunga e originale parabola creativa. Maria Lai. Tenendo per mano il sole sprigiona tutta la forza magnetica di una figura che ha esplorato diverse tendenze e interpretato molteplici linguaggi mantenendo, però, una sua traccia inconfondibile, inimitabile. Dovuta, credo, alla sapienza con cui ha saputo rappresentare e reinventare tradizioni locali, simboli e strumenti di una cultura arcaica e rivolgersi ai contemporanei toccando corde tra le più fragili, in una società oscillante tra l'oblio del passato e l'irresponsabilità verso il futuro. Sono davvero felice sia il MAXXI a presentare la prima grande retrospettiva di Maria Lai. La mostra curata da Bartolomeo Pietromarchi e Luigia Lonardelli - affascinante per ricchezza di semplici materiali, oggetti, colori e tecniche che accendono i nostri sguardi e la nostra immaginazione - con oltre duecento opere esposte, dai lavori degli anni Sessanta fino ai più recenti, si dipana in una densa trama sensoriale e intellettuale. C'è come un filo luminoso che sembra riprendere la stessa tessitura sapiente infusa dall'estro e dalle mani dell'artista nelle varie stagioni del suo cammino. I Telai. I Libri cuciti. I ricami. Le sculture. I tappeti. Le Geografie. Le Fiabe. Maria Lai ci ha lasciato un tesoro di arte intima e universale, con un messaggio ancestrale e globale: ci porta alle radici del rapporto tra umanità e natura, tra identità personale e ritualità collettiva, tra racconto di sé e condivisione di legami con l'altro. È quasi un unico 'album' di parole, immagini, manufatti, atmosfere che non celano una mera testimonianza ma trasmettono un insegnamento: mettere assieme il visibile e l'invisibile, secondo la sua felice definizione del significato più profondo dell'arte. La mostra è ideata e realizzata dal MAXXI con l'Archivio Maria Lai e la Fondazione Stazione dell'Arte, ha il supporto della Fondazione di Sardegna e si avvale della generosa disponibilità di più di trenta tra prestatori e galleristi." (dalla Prefazione di Giovanna Melandri)
