LUDOVICA GIOSCIA. Forecasting Ouroboros

LUDOVICA-GIOSCIA_ENG

Ludovica Gioscia, the volcanic Italian-born artist who lives and works in London has created wallpaper made out of many different materials, nuances and designs for the walls of Rome’s Macro museum. The collage gradually falls apart through its rips and tears – emblematizing the very nature of our society’s visceral obsessive-compulsive consumerism seen as the purchase and prompt attrition of any item. A jubilee of glam colours and a vast repertoire of visuals and materials (purchased, gathered and catalogued by the artist herself) that earnestly expresses our spellbound fascination with the yearning to collect things. It is all destroyed by a simple, banal gesture charged with profound meaning. This very young artist already has a monographic book/ catalogue to her name and a collaboration with the equally splendid fashion designer Stella Mc Cartney.

LUOGHI COMUNI. British landscape artists in Rome between the 18th and 19th centuries

LUOGHI-COMUNI.-Vedutisti-inglesi_ENG-

“British landscape artists in Rome between the 18th and 19th centuries in the graphic works at the Museo di Roma” continues the project begun in 2012 dedicated to French landscape artists. Works by Richard Cooper, Edward Lear, Arthur John Strutt and John Ruskin will be on display. Impressive views of the city and poignant images of the Roman countryside which had captured the imagination of the painters. They had often put themselves through some rather strenuous and even dangerous trips to areas filled with malaria and bandits just so that they could anchor their memories of the charming landscapes in front of them. A presentation which yet again confirms the special place Rome holds in the world of art.

JUSTIN PEYSER. Diaspora … adrift IV

JUSTIN-PEYSER_ENG

Rome’s Carlo Bilotti Museum is presenting an exhibition of ten sculptures by Justin Peyser that indicate a forced departure with no certain destination in sight – the beginning of a voyage to find and explore courses and channels of communication that are both physical and technological. New York artist Justin Peyser takes on the issues of exile and diaspora, considering them elements that are not only related in the specific terms of intolerances but also in terms of communication phenomena, the circulation of ideas and opportunities of encounter. The sculptures making up this large installation represent mysterious, faceless characters and were created in sheet metal plates roughly welded together whose burn marks were left visible because – in the artist’s own words – “wandering around in this diaspora leaves scars just like their imbalance. In a certain sense it represents being suspended between two nations.”
