RETROFUTURE
Ciao!
Summer is here and I am waiting for you to visit all my current exhibitions for this season.
In First Person Plural is conceived as a film set in which the artworks act as characters capable of activating different stories within the same scenario. A space composed of works by artists from different generations and backgrounds, music, artefacts, masks, reflective surfaces, performers transports the viewer into an alternate dimension: the exhibition is designed to be a synesthetic and disorientating experience, destabilizing the boundaries and definitions of the human, non-human and post-human. In addition to the artworks by Gina Beavers, Alexandra Bircken, Corrado Cagli, Judy Chicago, Enzo Cucchi, Jimmy DeSana, Eliza Douglas, Wayland Flowers, Massimo Grimaldi, Duane Hanson, Mark Leckey, Nancy Lupo, Tala Madani, John Miller, Hudson Mohawke, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, Ulrike Ottinger, Lucia Pica, Francisco Sierra, Erik Thys and Gianfilippo Usellini, throughout the course of the exhibition a series of characters and objects, like apparitions, act freely within the space (until September 24, 2023).
After The Light is the first institutional exhibition that seeks to contextualize the work of Jochen Klein within the wider collective and personal preoccupations that characterized the lives and practices of the artists that worked alongside and with him. The show presents the artist’s earliest works on canvas as well as drawings, watercolors and some sculptural experiments, in relation to works by Julie Ault, Thomas Eggerer, Ull Hohn, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Amelie von Wulffen (until August 27, 2023).
Vicolo della Penitenza 11/A is the address in Rome where The Rome Studio took place from 1989 to 1991, a residency programme initiated by art dealer Barbara Gladstone and art advisor Thea Westreich, and run by artist and curator Janice Guy. The exhibition presents works by Michel Auder, Sarah Charlesworth, DW Fitzpatrick, Gary Hume, On Kawara, Julian Lethbridge, Sarah Lucas, Reinhard Mucha, Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman, Thomas Struth, Meyer Vaisman, Lawrence Weiner, Franz West and Christopher Wool (until October 29, 2023).
The Bidet and the Jar sees Daniel Dewar and Grégory Gicquel further their forays into creating ceramic artworks, in response to the experimental nature of my REHEARSAL section. The exhibited sculptures are produced by the artists themselves using a traditional wood-fired kiln that affords them the opportunity to develop a ceramic practice rooted in repetition and open to chance. While created in series, each piece appears as an original, thus toying with the notion of the uniqueness of the artwork and questioning the logic of industrial production (until October 29, 2023).
Beethoven Was a Lesbian spans releases and sound-recordings that cover Pauline Oliveros’s entire career, from her earliest works combining improvisation, montage and electronic sounds to her later work which increasingly sought to expand on the interplay between technological devices, the environment and the musician. Oliveros, who was at once composer, performer, author and educator, pioneered an experimental multi-disciplinary attitude to music that embraces the world of inner and environmental sounds which accompany us each day (until September 10, 2023).
What why WET? traces the story of WET: The Magazine of Gourmet Bathing from its origins in 1976, until its closure in 1981. Founded by artist, publisher and writer Leonard Koren in Venice, California, WET published thirty-four issues and established itself, first in the US and later on the international scene, as a place for editorial, graphic and narrative experimentation, attracting an entourage of artists, photographers, designers, and writers, invited to voice their boldest visions and intuitions (until August 27, 2023).
Tempus Fugit is an exhibition conceived by graphic design studio Studio Temp to self-represent their practice. Shunning repetitive processes and formats, the studio develops projects that utilize craft techniques to generate results that always conserve both characteristic and differentiating features. The exhibition combines reinterpretations and displacements of symbols belonging to urban culture, the subdivision of rhythms of labour, and Roman history, placing the museum in dialogue with the specific context of the Italian provinces (until August 27, 2023).
Retrofuture. Notes for a collection, my growing exhibition aimed at creating a collection on a new generation of Italian artists, now presents the works by Federico Antonini, Riccardo Benassi, Monia Ben Hamouda, Ruth Beraha, Carola Bonfili, Costanza Candeloro, Ludovica Carbotta, Beatrice Celli, Giulia Cenci, Alessandro Cicoria, Gianluca Concialdi, Giulia Crispiani, Giorgio Di Noto, Roberto Fassone, Irene Fenara, Giorgia Garzilli, Diego Gualadris, Lorenza Longhi, Eleonora Luccarini, Beatrice Marchi, Diego Marcon, Jim C. Nedd, Francis Offman, Parasite 2.0, Francesco Pedraglio, Margherita Raso, Real Madrid, SAGG NAPOLI, Davide Stucchi and Ilaria Vinci.
