Luca Trevisani's 'Kotykeye' Turns Ceramics into Communal Ritual at Casa Museo Jorn

Luca Trevisani's exhibition 'Kotykeye' at Casa Museo Jorn in Albissola Marina, Liguria, transforms ceramics into tools for conviviality and relational experience. The project, supported by Italian Council, features stoneware sculptures made in collaboration with Danilo Trogu from La Casa dell'Arte, inspired by the Ligurian territory and the Grottte di Toirano. Works include stabilized bread sculptures referencing ancient Egyptian preservation methods and the 'Daniel Day Lewis' series combining primitive forms with 24-karat gold leaf. A performative banquet with artist-gastronome Luca Conte activated the garden sculptures as vessels for food, fostering dialogue. The exhibition runs until August 25, 2026, and is curated and produced by Associazione BLU/Breeding and Learning Unit of Genoa. Previous iterations traveled to FRAC Corsica, Académie Internationale de la Céramique in Geneva, Museum of Modern Art in Zagreb, and Palazzo Ducale in Genoa, with the final destination being the permanent collection of Museo Madre in Naples.
