Bertozzi & Casoni's 'What's the most incredible thing you've done?' at ABC-ARTE, Genoa

The Italian artistic duo Bertozzi & Casoni, known for their intricate ceramic sculptures, are currently exhibiting at the Galleria ABC-ARTE in Genoa until September 10. The exhibition is titled 'What's the most incredible thing you've done?' (in Italian: 'Qual è la cosa più incredibile che hai fatto?'), a phrase that evokes the famous Raymond Carver short story 'What We Talk About When We Talk About Love'. Curated by Alberto Mattia Martini, the show presents the artists' signature accumulations of objects, refuse, and vestiges of the human, which provoke reflection on wonder, astonishment, and the melancholic drama of contemporary life. The title, as noted by Martini in the exhibition text, invites viewers to consider the most incredible things they have done, mirroring Carver's exploration of the crisis of the contemporary through seemingly minimal lives and interrupted relationships. Bertozzi & Casoni, whose work often juxtaposes hyperrealism with surreal elements, continue to surprise audiences with their ability to transform everyday detritus into poetic and thought-provoking sculptures. The exhibition is a testament to their enduring relevance in the contemporary art scene, offering a space for contemplation on the human condition.
