ALL project space opens in former warehouse in Palermo's Vucciria
ALL project space, founded by Adriano La Licata and Cristina Giarnecchia, opened in 2024 in a former warehouse at Via Chiavettieri 29 in Palermo's Vucciria district. The space functions as a laboratory for artistic experimentation, production, and exchange between artists, curators, and locals. Its inaugural exhibition, "Spatial Politics," was the first Italian show by US artist Erik Smith, featuring interconnected works that examine Palermo through mundane public spaces like abandoned furniture and property fences. Subsequent exhibitions included Giulia Sofi's "Zàbara e Zabàra," exploring hybrid human-animal beings, and Tiziana La Melia's "Acquacotta," which investigates her metalinguistic identity and rural daily life in San Giuseppe Jato, Palermo. The founders emphasize that ALL maintains a constant dialogue with the urban context amid gentrification, positioning itself as both an exhibition space and a meeting point between Palermo and the international art scene.
