Adrian Tranquilli's 'After the West' at Studio Miscetti in Rome
At Studio Stefania Miscetti in Rome, Adrian Tranquilli presents 'After the West', an installation featuring a throne encircled by four twisted columns entwined with mocking V masks, with additional masks scattered on the floor. The work references Bernini's baldachin in St. Peter's and critiques the circular relationship between subjectivation and subjugation. A globe covered in V masks suggests a glimmer of hope: an army of tiny heroes seemingly always ready. The exhibition runs until July 29, 2016. Tranquilli, born in Melbourne in 1966 and living in Rome, also has a concurrent show in Naples titled 'Giorni di un futuro passato'.
