Giorgia Garzilli's 'Everything's coming up roses' at Spazio Libero, Stockholm
At Spazio Libero in Stockholm, Giorgia Garzilli showcases 'Everything's coming up roses,' under the curation of Margherita Castiglioni and Aleksandar Stojanovski. Central to the exhibition is a substantial painting that occupies the vertical wall between two arches, illustrating a weary figure sprawled on the floor after engaging in numerous high-pressure situations, including delivering a speech, playing poker, closing a deal, opening a show, performing, invading a territory, giving an interview, appearing on television, presenting a film, participating in a political debate, bombing a nation, receiving an award, disrupting the global market, posing for a photograph, trading stocks, attending a job interview, reading the news, or navigating a lawsuit. This piece draws inspiration from Robert Longo's elegantly attired business figures, highlighting the exhausted state of the contemporary artist in the 21st century. The exhibition is open until May 15, 2026.
