In Parallel is a group exhibition with Anna Caione, Liliana Barbieri, Wilma Tabacco and Sarina Lirosi at CO.AS.IT., Faraday Street, Carlton, from 5 August-28 September 2022
This show features new site-specific works installed in four distinct glass vitrines further responding to the ideas of their selected Italian designers – Bruno Munari, Gaetano Pesce, Alessandro Mendini and Giò Pomodoro – and to their own works first exhibited in Parallel Visions at CO.AS.IT. in 2020-2021.
In Parallel further extends their creative practice in light of their Italian cultural heritage.
CABINET OF CURIOSITIES 2022
My previous work for Parallel Visions was inspired by Alessandro Mendini’s curation of the 2010 Milan Triennale where he included more than 800 objects reflecting on what it means to be Italian.
My vitrine installation for In Parallel features a collection of Polaroid photographs of my immediate and extended family and a number of close friends – most are Italian. The question of ‘what it means to be Italian’, may be further considered in this Cabinet of Curiosities where our gaze is met by a multitude of peering faces both young and old.
