Angela Trapani's 'La curvatura dell’Universo' exhibition at Complesso di San Domenico runs until May 2026

Angela Trapani's exhibition 'La curvatura dell’Universo,' curated by Ivan Quaroni, is on view at the Complesso di San Domenico in Trapani until May 3, 2026. Featuring around fifty works, it maps over forty years of her artistic research, emphasizing the hemispherical form as an operational principle rather than mere decoration. From the 1980s onward, Trapani has developed a recognizable grammar of domes, geometric modules, and visual weaves rooted in Mediterranean and North African influences. Her practice evolves through painting, photography, sculpture, and installation, using materials like plaster, plexiglass, and rock salt to create environmental works that engage with light and space. The show highlights how the semisphere transitions from architectural detail to primary structure, organizing perception and challenging stability. Part of Gibellina Capitale Italiana dell’Arte Contemporanea 2026, it synthesizes individual inquiry with territorial context, presenting curvature as a method to interrogate visibility and materiality.
