Dario Agrimi's Provocative Exhibition at Galleria Cattedrale

exhibition · 2026-05-04

Dario Agrimi (born 1980 in Atri) presents a new solo show titled 'Mozzafiato' at Galleria Cattedrale in Conversano, curated by Lia De Venere. The exhibition features ironic, disorienting works that critique contemporary socio-political and relational issues. Agrimi uses his own face as a modern Christ figure, positioning the artist as a chaotic 'deus ex machina'. The labyrinthine installation combines seemingly random objects with macabre yet playful elements, evoking feelings of estrangement and entrapment. The show runs from July 2019.
