exhibition · 2026-04-27

Adrian Tranquilli (born 1966 in Melbourne, lives in Rome) inaugurates the renovated Auditorium Garage at Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome with the exhibition 'An Unguarded Moment.' The show spans his career from the 1990s to the present, featuring sculptures, installations, photographs, and sound works. The exhibition explores a grotesque, anti-heroic mythology, with dark angels suspended from ceilings, Anonymous masks as columns, and Batman—the artist's alter ego—lamenting a lost past rather than fighting crime. The space covers over 1,000 square meters.
