Chantal Spapens presents performance 'Ecstatic Extinction' in Rome on April 24, 2026

On April 24, 2026, at 8:00 PM, Chantal Spapens will unveil her performance 'Ecstatic Extinction' at Via Placido Zurla 63 in Rome. This event, produced by Amelia Roccatelli for PROSA_contemporanea and directed artistically by Colin Ledoux, delves deeper into Spapens' themes of female representation and societal disintegration. The subtitle alludes to Jean Baudrillard's work, 'La Transparence du Mal.' Set in a redevelopment area within the same vicinity as PROSA_contemporanea, Spapens, a Franco-Dutch visual artist residing in Rome, explores concepts of comfort and societal norms through materials such as clay and rope. She earned her Master of Fine Arts from Rome University of Fine Arts and has previously showcased her work at Museo MAXXI Rome. Juliana Munoz Arregoces assists her, with Roberta Melasecca as the press contact.
