The "Domani torno" exhibition at the Castello di Rivoli in Turin marks the first comprehensive retrospective of Enrico David (Ancona, 1966) in Italy, taking place along the museum's expansive gallery. Curated by Marianna Vecellio, the show includes over 100 artworks spanning three decades, divided into six thematic chapters that are not arranged chronologically. The ambiance recalls a 1970s trade fair and features pieces from renowned artists such as Felice Casorati and Giorgio De Chirico. David has also created site-specific installations within the Cerruti Collection. According to Director Francesco Manacorda, the exhibition provides both retrospective and forward-looking insights into David's work, with the title highlighting themes of travel and transformation, including notable works like "Le Bave (Solar Anus)" (2023) alongside new creations.
