Riccardo D'Avola-Corte Turns Narni Art Space Into a "Well of Memory"

exhibition · 2026-10-21

The solo exhibition titled The flying ghosts into my vertical pool by Riccardo D'Avola-Corte, curated by Lorenzo Rubini, is on display at THEPÒSITO Art Space in Narni Scalo until 31 October 2026. This gallery serves as a dynamic three-dimensional space that evolves with its exhibits. D'Avola-Corte incorporates found materials, such as ski poles, into his ready-made artworks. His sculpture series, I pilastri del cielo (2025-2026), showcases vertical totems made of skis and industrial plastic zip ties, drawing inspiration from biblical Archangels. The piece Macbeth (2025-2026) features motorcycle helmets as contemporary reliquaries, while Anti-Macbeth utilizes remnants of these helmets. Additionally, Un anno di quadri fanno una scultura (2026) presents paintings from 2025-2026 arranged in a vertical column, adorned with turpentine, plaster, and dried thistle flowers that signify resilience.
