Arianna Carossa's 'Dos Estrellas Rotas' at Istituto Italiano in Mexico City
The Istituto Italiano di Città del Messico is hosting a solo exhibition by Italian artist Arianna Carossa (born Genoa, 1973, lives and works in New York) titled 'Dos Estrellas Rotas,' running until October 13, 2018. The show features painting, sculpture, and video art. Many works stem from Carossa's time in Tlapujahua, Mexico, where she placed gold-glazed ceramic pieces inside a depleted gold mine to evoke its former wealth. Her paintings depict unsettling, familiar figures. Carossa describes her work as centered on 'residues' that are not remnants of enjoyment but interventions that revitalize inert matter through desire, operating on the level of the real rather than the symbolic or imaginary.
