exhibition · 2026-04-26

In Cervia, Italy, the Magazzino del Sale, or Salt Warehouse, is hosting an exhibition called 'Endless Summer,' which runs until June 22, 2025. This show, put together by curators Viola Emaldi and Alex Montanaro from the MAGMA collective, features contributions from more than forty artists and eight curators, including Vittoria Caprotti, Viola Cenacchi, and others. Inspired by Bruce Brown's surf documentary, the exhibition delves into themes of excitement and nostalgia. It showcases a variety of art forms, such as painting, video, sculpture, photography, and collage, with standout pieces like Vedovamazzei's 'Chewing gum and seascape' (2018) and Patrick Tuttofuoco's 'Space Time' (2017), all while respecting the building's architectural design.
