CLOSER: A Collective Exhibition on Digital Communication at Villa Davia
Adiacenze is showcasing CLOSER, a group exhibition that investigates how technology influences modern communication. This concluding segment of a series that began in May features fresh installations, productions, and workshops. Taking place at Villa Davia in Borgo di Colle Ameno (Sasso Marconi), close to Villa Griffone—where Guglielmo Marconi pioneered wireless telegraphy—the exhibition commemorates Marconi's 150th birthday. Curated by Amerigo Mariotti and Giorgia Tronconi, along with Iside Calcagnile and Moe Yoshida, the exhibit presents works from artists including Nicola Facchini, Giuseppe de Benedittis, Federico Bacci, Massimo Carozzi, Antonello Ghezzi, Enej Gala, Katarina Sylvan, and Gianlorenzo Nardi, delving into the dynamics of relationships and communication in the digital era.
