Diario Notturno: Dream and Nightmare at Maxxi L'Aquila
Right now at Maxxi L'Aquila, there's an exhibition called 'Diario Notturno. Di sogni, incubi e bestiari immaginari,' which is curated by Bartolomeo Pietromarchi with help from Chiara Bertini and Fanny Borel. This show is inspired by Ennio Flaiano's 1957 work and features pieces from thirteen artists born between 1970 and 1999. Some of the artists include Bea Bonafini, Thomas Braida, and Wangechi Mutu, among others. The exhibition explores dark themes through various forms like sculptures, paintings, and videos. Plus, Giuseppe Stampone has a special project that reinterprets Abruzzo landmarks, showcasing photos from Henri Cartier-Bresson and the Franco and Serena Pomilio Collection.
