L’arcobaleno riposa sulla strada—The rainbow rests on the road
Group show with Pascale Birchler, Miriam Laura Leonardi, Hunter Longe, Lou Masduraud, Luzie Meyer, Meret Oppenheim, and Ser Serpas
October 29, 2022–February 12, 2023
Istituto Svizzero, Via Ludovisi 48, Rome
Opening: October 28, 2022

A selection of artworks by Meret Oppenheim, one of the 20th century’s most unconventional artists, in dialogue with a younger generation of artists: Pascale Birchler, Miriam Laura Leonardi, Hunter Longe, Lou Masduraud, Luzie Meyer and Ser Serpas. Exploring themes such as the subconscious, the dream, the surreal and the role of the “female artist,” the exhibition generates a “re-reading” of the issues dear to Meret Oppenheim, through the eyes of emerging contemporary artists.

Istituto Svizzero acts as an interdisciplinary platform bringing together artistic and scientific research. From Rome, Milan or Palermo, it facilitates connections both between Switzerland and Italy, as well as internationally. Istituto Svizzero offers residencies to emerging artists and researchers who wish to contribute to the future of art, science and innovation. Each year, the Institute presents a public programme aimed at promoting forward-thinking events and projects, experimental practices and excellence in research. Istituto Svizzero seeks to actively participate in the global discourse on arts and society, envisioning new paths and looking beyond the boundaries of disciplines.
