Andrea Galvani's Multidisciplinary Performance at Rome's Mattatoio
Andrea Galvani (Verona, 1973) presents 'La sottigliezza delle cose elevate' at Mattatoio di Roma until October 25. The exhibition features two site-specific projects: 'The Subtleties of Elevated Things' and 'Instruments for Inquiring into the Wind and the Shaking Earth', which won the Audemars Piguet Prize in 2019. Galvani collaborated with ten researchers from La Sapienza University, selected with the help of former INFN President Fernando Ferroni. The performance involves 12 performers and vocalists, and includes 16 new neon sculptures and architectural elements. The entire 1,000-square-meter Pavilion 9b was reconstructed in 3D for remote planning from New York. The project is part of the three-year 'Dispositivi sensibili' program curated by Angel Moya García, who also announced a Luigi Presicce exhibition for December 2020.
