Gianni Politi's 'Insieme' Exhibition on Rome's Aurelian Walls Published as Catalog
Quodlibet has just unveiled the catalog for 'Insieme,' an exhibition from 2020 curated by Gianni Politi, spotlighting a part of Rome's Aurelian Walls. From his studio in San Lorenzo, Politi featured works by 18 local artists, including Maurizio Altieri, José Angelino, and Micol Assaël, among others. This varied exhibition ran along via Labicana from October to November 2020, showcasing art often hung with steel cables. Designed by Filippo Nostri, the catalog contains photos by Alessandro Dandini de Sylva and writings from several contributors, including Achille Bonito Oliva. It also references earlier shows like 'Contemporanea' and 'Avanguardia Transavanguardia,' the latter also on the walls. The 144-page catalog costs €22 and is backed by Ghella.
