Contemporary Cluster #5 Opens in 17th-Century Roman Palazzo

Giacomo Guidi's Contemporary Cluster project moves to a new venue, Palazzo Cavallerini Lazzaroni in Rome, for its fifth edition starting November 25. The 17th-century palazzo, formerly home to design store Spazio Sette, will host a multidisciplinary format blending visual art, photography, video, jewelry, fashion design, music, and vehicles. The opening features a solo exhibition by Lithuanian artist Tadao Cern, presenting new works from his series Hanging Paintings (2017) and Chromatic Aberration (2016). The show integrates accessories, jewelry, and fragrances by brands Okiiko and Blood Concept, inspired by Cern. A magazine titled Flewid, created by Emi Marchionni and distributed by Pineapple Media Limited, will be launched. DJ and producer Sebastien Bromberger, co-founder of French label Modelisme, will provide music. The new space allows separation of exhibition areas (top floor) from commercial areas (ground floor), with five fashion brands and a bookshop featuring five publishers. A lounge-style bar will be open to guests.
