Cally Spooner's 'Everything is attempted then attempted again' at Casa Venezia
Cally Spooner's exhibition titled 'Everything is attempted then attempted again' has commenced at Casa Venezia in Venice, curated by Galleria ZERO. The showcase delves into concepts of falling, learning, and repetition through a variety of artworks. Among them is 'Falling (2026)', which includes a 6.30-meter jasmine plant alongside a recording of a child's voice. 'Landing (2026)' features bird calls to lure swifts. Additionally, 'DEAD TIME (Maggie's solo) (2021)' presents a video installation with dancer Maggie Segale. Other pieces comprise 'AM30D (Mother) (2023)', a cast silver soap bar, and two works inspired by her grandmother's garden. The exhibition draws influence from Daniele Del Giudice's literature and Virginia Woolf's 'To the Lighthouse', as noted in Flash Art. Spooner released her album 'Love & Tears' in June.
