Eugenio Tibaldi's 'Più là che Abruzzi' at Mu.Mi in Francavilla al Mare

exhibition · 2026-05-04

Eugenio Tibaldi (Alba, 1977) presents 'Più là che Abruzzi' at Mu.Mi in Francavilla al Mare, a solo exhibition curated by Simone Ciglia. The title quotes Boccaccio's Decameron, referencing a remote region. The exhibition results from a residency collaboration between Associazione culturale Humanitas and the Comune di Francavilla al Mare, involving individuals in a regional reintegration program. Tibaldi's work explores peripheral margins, transformations, and human-geographic identities. The show features two types of works: one synthesizing historical and economic data into scientific diary-like pieces, the other incorporating anonymous personal information from participants. Large-scale installations use found objects, stitched together to create evocative dialogues. The exhibition includes pieces from earlier projects like 'Seconda chance' (2016-2018, Turin), 'Red Verona' (2013, Verona), 'Architettura minima' (2012–ongoing), 'Questione d'appartenenza' (2015, Naples), and 'Inclusio' (2017-18, Bologna). The central work 'Più là che Abruzzi 04' depicts the region on a pillow with embroidered initials, using colors chosen by locals. The exhibition runs at Mu.Mi in Francavilla al Mare, Italy.
