Andrea Famà’s Crumbling Floor Installation at Galleria Davide Paludetto
At Galleria Davide Paludetto in Turin, Andrea Famà presents a site-specific installation where the gallery floor, made of plaster and cement, cracks and crumbles under visitors' feet. The resulting sound becomes an acoustic carpet, while offensive phrases and comments are inscribed on a central column. Famà (born 1988 in Catania) critiques the contemporary art system’s superficiality and narcissism, targeting distracted audiences—including art professionals—who fail to engage deeply with artworks. The exhibition reflects on the show-business dynamics of the art world, condemning art to oblivion through empty memories and banal comments. The show is reviewed by Giuseppe Amedeo Arnesano.
