Gianluca Lattuada residency at Real Fábrica de Tapices culminates in September exhibition

Gianluca Lattuada, an Italian artist born in 1988 in Milan and currently residing in Madrid, is wrapping up a three-month residency at the Real Fábrica de Tapices, a tapestry factory established in 1721 by Philip V. This residency will conclude with a solo exhibition titled 'Lo que fuimos y lo que seremos,' which opens on September 10 and continues until September 30, aligning with Madrid Gallery Weekend. Lattuada's creations reinterpret historical materials from the factory's archives, resulting in new textile and painted pieces that delve into themes of materiality and identity. The factory has previously showcased the works of illustrious artists, including Francisco de Goya, Juan Gris, and Marc Chagall. His artistic process involved transforming waste materials into textile panels and developing paintings inspired by these compositions.
