Silvia Giambrone, Gabriele Silli, Dom Bouffard: Three Rome Shows on Space, Lies, and Memory
In Rome, three exhibitions delve into the theme of space through various artistic perspectives. Silvia Giambrone's solo exhibition 'I lie' at Richard Saltoun Gallery, curated by Paola Ugolini, showcases works from 2017 to the present, focusing on deception within the home. Notable pieces include the marble collection 'Dura lex sed lex', 'Certificato di Autenticità', the 'Il cielo stellato' series, and the installation 'Senza titolo con spine'. At Fondazione D'ARC, Gabriele Silli presents 'Immenso Spermatozoo Sottomarino', curated by Giuliana Benassi, featuring a thirty-meter installation titled 'Rivolo secco (Le miserie)' alongside a large cage resembling a fisherman's habitat. Dom Bouffard's 'Sound Drawings' at Valentina Bonomo gallery includes sound drawings and an interactive installation with Nick Burge.
