Fou Rire: Artists Rebel Against Time at Rome's 1/9unosunove Gallery

The Rome gallery 1/9unosunove presents "Fou Rire," a group show curated by Angelica Gatto and Simone Zacchini, following their previous exhibition "The Expanded Body." The show centers on the tarot card The Fool, symbolizing freedom in a conformist political climate. The title "Fou Rire" evokes subversive laughter and irony challenging social appearances. Featured artists include Cristiano Carotti with his painting "Furie" (2022), depicting hellish dogs burning in a decomposed matter; Giulio Bensasson with his triptych "Non so dove, non so quando" (2023), marking a biopolitical time; Niccolò Moronato with landscapes from his series "Golf is a violent sport" (2021-22), overlapping agonistic interactions with nature; and Camilla Gurgone with two algorithm-produced works, "Process to shape the imaginary" (2022), reminiscent of Wim Wenders. The exhibition references Alejandro Jodorowsky's initiatory interpretation of tarot, emphasizing the transformative power of madness. The works collectively explore survival and rebellion.
