Anita Leisz's Solo Show at Norma Mangione Gallery in Turin

Anita Leisz's solo exhibition at Norma Mangione Gallery in Turin, curated by Tenzing Barshee, features recent works in metal, wood, and plasterboard. The artist deconstructs architectural elements like floors, walls, and ceilings, recombining them into new configurations while respecting orthogonal structures. Barshee interprets this process as political, referencing philosopher Jacques Rancière. Unlike Minimalist sculpture, Leisz's handcrafted pieces are unique, avoiding seriality. The industrial materials evoke the artist's upbringing in steel towns and resonate with Arte Povera. The exhibition coincided with Artissima 2017.
