Ado Brandimarte's 'Ex Fragmentis' Exhibition at The Shed Residenza d'Arte Explores Fragments as Generative Principles
From March 21 to April 16, 2026, 'Ex Fragmentis,' a solo exhibition by Ado Brandimarte, will be showcased at The Shed Residenza d'Arte in Monte San Martino, under the curation of Carla Abril Maizon. This exhibition delves into the boundary between endings and beginnings, treating fragments as catalysts for reassembly. Brandimarte's creations act as dynamic memory tools, honoring tradition while highlighting the tactile aspect of craftsmanship. In our digital era, he identifies as a 'craftsman of matter,' where the significance of gesture and imperfection prevails. The display includes alabaster plaster and marble fragments, with pieces resembling surfaces etched with signs and impressions, reflecting a unique economy of matter and meaning through material reuse.
