La sostanza agitata
Palazzo Collicola, Spoleto
23.06.2023 - 15.10.2023
The ground floor of Palazzo Collicola hosts a group exhibition that includes the proposals of some of the most interesting emerging profiles of contemporary art active in Italy. La sostanza agitata, this is the title of the exhibition curated by Saverio Verini, presents the works of eleven artists under 35: an exhibition with a strong generational implantation, which seeks to account for the variety and vitality of artistic research in our country. In addition to the anagraphic cut, the artists in the exhibition are linked by a common interest in the installation and plastic dimension and, in general, in the relationship between the work and the environment that hosts it. The title, La sostanza agitata, refers to the experimental and difficult to classify character of the works in the exhibition, to the heterogeneity of the materials used and to an approach that-between lightness and monumentality, between irony and issues reflecting current social changes-declares its sculptural derivation. The choice to propose a series of artists who today reflect on the sculptural language and its legacy is intended to recall the artistic tradition of Spoleto, which has been inextricably linked to the plastic dimension since the experience of Sculptures in the City (1962).
The invited artists are: Francesco Bendini (Sansepolcro, 1996), Paolo Bufalini (Rome, 1994), Lucia Cantò (Pescara, 1995), Giovanni de Cataldo (Rome, 1990), Binta Diaw (Milan, 1995), Bekhbaatar Enkhtur (Ulan Bator, 1994), Roberta Folliero (Rome, 1993), Jacopo Martinotti (Milan, 1995), Lulù Nuti (Rome, 1988), Giulia Poppi (Modena, 1992), Davide Sgambaro (Padua, 1989).
La sostanza agitata wants to characterize itself as a yard of proposals-some of them unpublished and made by the artists on site-a workshop open to different looks: each artist is entrusted with a room, thus offering visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in individual poetics, between organic and industrial materials, verticality and horizontality, movement and staticity, works formed by unique pieces and others that tend toward dissemination if not outright multiplication.
