A few minutes into the mind-bending exhibition Mario Cresci: Geometries/Epiphanies, I find myself in a cerebral standoff with a grid of 16 black squares. This is the 83-year-old’s artist’s first exhibition outside his native Italy. Cresci belongs to a niche of Italian conceptual artists who took up cameras in the 1960s to reinvent cliches of the country’s famed identity.
