Galleria Passaggi in Pisa honors founder Silvana Vassallo with group exhibition
The Galleria Passaggi in Pisa, established in 2014, is currently presenting a tribute exhibition dedicated to its late founder, Silvana Vassallo, who died in 2022. Entitled 'Una stanza tutta per sé per Silvana' (A Room of One's Own for Silvana), the exhibition is curated by Ilaria Mariotti and Pietro Gaglianò. It showcases the works of sixteen artists, including Antonella Anedda, Sandra Binion, and Darren Harvey-Regan, among others. This exhibition serves as a collective tribute to Vassallo, celebrated for her intellectual curiosity and sensitivity. Having opened the gallery to foster dialogue in Pisa, which is somewhat removed from the contemporary art mainstream, her last curated show was in 2019. The title pays homage to Virginia Woolf, reflecting Vassallo's connections with artists and curators.
