Alicja Kwade Questions Time, Gravity and Perception at Fondazione Progetti Beverly Pepper in Todi
The Fondazione Progetti Beverly Pepper in Todi showcases Alicja Kwade's exhibition, curated by Marco Tonelli, which delves into themes of time, space, and perception, spanning Piazza del Popolo and the Sala delle Pietre. One of the highlights, Against the Run (Dual), features a clock that appears to move in reverse while maintaining precise time. This installation includes 88 seconds of stainless-steel rings and a striking steel structure, ParaPosition (2024), which supports stones with a bronze chair underneath. Born in Katowice, Poland, in 1979, Kwade is part of a program initiated in 2018 by Beverly Pepper, following in the footsteps of artists like Arnaldo Pomodoro. The exhibition is open until 4 October 2026, with ParaPosition displayed until 25 October 2026.
