Collezione Maramotti is glad to announce the opening of two new exhibitions: Che si può fare by Helen Cammock and Rhizome and the Dizziness of Freedom by Mona Osman.
Helen Cammock, winner of the 7th Max Mara Art Prize for Women and nominee for the 2019 Turner Prize, after a premiere at Whitechapel Gallery in London will be presenting her new exhibition Che si può fare with a set up adapted to the different space of the Collection. The exhibition includes a film, a series of vinyl cut prints, a screen-printed frieze, and a research room with books and objects collected during her six-month Italian residency. The show will also include an additional piece, an artist’s book made in July at the Istituto Centrale della Grafica in Rome. These works by Helen Cammock interweave women’s stories of loss and resilience with seventeenth-century Baroque music by female composers, exploring the concept of lament in women’s lives across histories and geographies.
The young artist Bristol-based Mona Osman, in her first solo exhibition in Italy, will show a series of paintings made specifically for the collection’s Pattern Room. All of these new pieces were developed parallel to each other, and one can see the influences and echoes of a working process that unfolded in the same time and space: over the last year, in the artist’s studio. Introduced by a triptych of portraits on a wall outside the main room, the exhibition includes three large and two medium-scale paintings. Working from the idea of combining stories from the Bible with concepts from existentialism—and trying to raise questions rather than offer answers—Osman has conducted an intense philosophical and spiritual investigation, via painting, into the search for Self.
