Berlinde De Bruyckere's Solo Show at Filanda in Trissino
Berlinde De Bruyckere's exhibition at Filanda in Trissino, part of the RARE project, features a single sculpture titled 'Nijvel I'—a cube of layered treated leather—and a video by Mirjam Devriendt documenting the leather production process. The show is supported by Galleria Continua and Rino Mastrotto, a leather tanning group that has reduced water waste by 90% through patented machinery. A small cinema within Filanda screens the film 'Why We Fight,' directed by Devriendt and Alain Platel, featuring music by Gustav Mahler and rarely shown in Italy. The exhibition runs until December 21, 2025, and includes educational activities such as a life drawing session with students from Liceo Artistico De Fabris di Nove. RARE is led by David Melis, Jacopo Ferma, and Cristiano Focacci Menchini.
