Francesco De Prezzo's Placeholder Sculptures Replace Art with Photographic Stands

exhibition · 2026-04-27

Francesco De Prezzo (Lecce, 1994) presents Placeholder Sculptures at FORM Space in Wageningen, Netherlands, where photographic stands replace actual artworks. The exhibition questions documentation's role in art perception. De Prezzo's series Null and Mockup Paintings, shown at LOOM Gallery (where he will have a solo show in 2024), explore hiding paintings rather than exhibiting them. The stands, purchased on Amazon, will be returned after the show. AI-generated texts are part of the installation. De Prezzo lives in Brescia and works in Milan.
