Mélanie Matranga's "La Volontà" at Galleria Solito, Naples, Through November 2026
Mélanie Matranga's solo exhibition, "La Volontà," is on display at Galleria Solito in Naples until 20 November 2026, under the curation of Massimiliano Scuderi. This showcase delves into the intertwined dynamics of domination and resistance. Matranga's sculptures both captivate and confuse, subverting traditional expectations of form and utility. Her artistic exploration examines the relationship between objects and the human body, touching on issues of gender, public space, and corporeality. Born in 1985 in Marseille, Matranga resides in Paris, with previous exhibitions at Palais de Tokyo and Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris. The exhibition is situated at piazza Enrico De Nicola 46, within the Complesso ex Lanificio, coinciding with the launch of the fifth issue of NÉA magazine.
