CASAPROSPERA Opens in Sicily with Federico Gargaglione Exhibition

Fatti principali

• CASAPROSPERA opens on September 18 in the Ragusano area, Sicily, founded and directed by Marta Seminerio at Villa Scribano.
• The center occupies a family property unused for over 30 years, now transformed for public use with exhibitions, residencies, research, and a literary café.
• The inaugural exhibition is Federico Gargaglione's solo show 'What would be there? that is what’s available to you', curated by Seminerio, running until November 22, 2026.
• The project originated from Seminerio's research at NABA in Milan, focusing on residency as an experience of permanence.
• Villa Scribano includes a rock cavity identified by the Soprintendenza as a 5th-century necropolis, which will serve as the main exhibition space.
• The recovery began about three years ago, funded through the PNRR under Mission 1 for rural architecture and landscape, via a regional tender in Sicily.
• Federico Gargaglione, born in Enna in 1988 and based in Berlin, works primarily with photography and video, also incorporating writing, installation, and material experimentation.
• The program includes temporary exhibitions, residencies, research projects, and interdisciplinary practices, with a focus on building relationships among artists, curators, researchers, inhabitants, and visitors.
