Anatomia di una tensione: Taddeucci and Sponilli at THEPÒSITO Art Space
The exhibition 'Anatomia di una tensione' at THEPÒSITO Art Space in Narni, Italy, runs from April 26 to May 24, 2026. Curated by Nicoletta Biglietti and Lorenzo Rubini, it features works by Martina Taddeucci and Veronica Sponilli. Taddeucci's pieces, including 'Nata nel margine' and 'Di una macchina il respiro', use sewn fabrics, embroidery, and oil colors to explore the history of the Beata Lucia foundling home, where girls were trained in textile work and later selected by wealthy men. Sponilli employs hydraulic hemp in 'Soggetti compromessi' and 'Sempre Grazie', materials resembling human hair, to evoke memory and transformation. The exhibition connects personal and collective histories, addressing gender roles and social abandonment.
