Four Artists Explore Monument Solitude at Palazzo Candiotti

Curated by Marta Silvi, the group exhibition 'La solitudine dei monumenti' at Palazzo Candiotti in Foligno brings together four artists—Matteo Fato, Tomaso De Luca, Gabriele Porta, and Stefano Emili—to examine the concept of monuments and their connotations. The show unfolds across lavishly decorated yet nearly empty rooms, with works engaging in dialectical juxtapositions. Fato's painting reveals its materiality through installation-like interactions with space, while De Luca presents fragile, unstable monuments that have lost their original function. Porta traces memory in the faces of missing Italian children, sketched on pages of Pasolini's 'Ragazzi di vita'. Emili employs chromatic subtractions and close observations of art historical topoi. Silvi frames the monument as isolated and hieratic, emphasizing its solitude. The exhibition runs until October 28, 2016.
