Ex Moto group show in Lodi explores ex voto tradition through audience participation

The 'Ex Moto' exhibition, led by Bianca Basile, a 30-year-old from Catania, wraps up the Associazione 21 season in Lodi. This exhibition is all about how artists and viewers interact, changing the way we think about art beyond just the studio. Artists shift their creations as the audience engages with them. The project draws inspiration from ex voto, which are offerings for healing, often marked with 'Per Grazia Ricevuta' when granted. Notably, Miriam Montani's 'Lacrimosa' uses onion skin to express shared experiences. Alessio Barchitta encourages involvement with 'A mia immagine e somiglianza', allowing visitors to make their own icons from sawdust. Other artists like Martino Santori and Francesca Brugola delve into themes of time and change. The exhibition ends with a collaborative artistic ritual.
