April 9th from 6pm to 9 pm, opening of ‘Un letto di frasche’, a solo exhibition by Giulia Mangoni, in dialogue with material installations by architect Valerio Panella.

For her second solo exhibition at the gallery, Mangoni continues her exploration of the memories associated with the Ciociaria (territory which extends from Rome to Naples), which began with the exhibition ‘Bits and Cream. Metabolizzazione d’Archivio’ in 2021, delving into a magical-realistic vision where the rural world and its characters come to life through material installations and oil paintings. The artist approaches this exhibition with the urgency to ‘synthesize’ the narrative while simultaneously capturing the viewer’s attention with five large canvases, encapsulating fantastical and autobiographical elements. Valerio Panella’s scenographic intervention places materials such as wood, limestone, and straw in their elemental forms within the gallery space, introducing a ‘silent’ reality that leaves no escape routes; these interventions, combined with Mangoni’s exhuberant paintings, accompany the viewer on a dynamic and unique journey.

The exhibition will remain open until June 6th 2024, and will be viewable Tuesday through Saturday from 2.30pm to 6.30 p.m., or by appointment.
