Aldo Mondino's Works Shown in a Toilet Gallery in Turin

Freaks Cabinet, a gallery in Turin, presents an exhibition of works by Aldo Mondino in its bathroom, challenging conventional curatorial practices. Curated by Marco Albertaro and Franz Paludetto, the show opened on March 8, 2019, and features the artist's ironic and oxymoronic approach. The space, described as a "jewel" for its elegance and Mitteleuropean atmosphere, deliberately subverts the art world's seriousness. Albertaro states that the bathroom setting serves as a metaphor for the art system, where important art ends up in the toilet. The exhibition continues the gallery's program of showing international, museum-level artists in unconventional contexts, following a previous show by Ray Smith. Mondino's works, selected by Paludetto, appear as if created for the occasion, blending humor with political commentary.
