Giovanni Termini's Pentagon-Shaped Exhibition at Otto Gallery in Bologna

Giovanni Termini (born 1972 in Assoro) presents a pentagon-shaped exhibition titled "(Criteri generali per la) messa in sicurezza" at Otto Gallery in Bologna. The show features five works that draw on historical events experienced firsthand, recalibrated through estranging and ironic forms. Central to the exhibition is "Limite di sicurezza," an artwork born from a residency in Caracas, where Termini constructed a walkway that evokes contemporary fear and the danger of living in uncontrolled spaces. Other works include "Rasenta una distanza #1 e #2," "Ipotesi," and "Resistenze." The common thread is the appropriation of linguistic propositions from architecture, urban planning, and everyday life. The exhibition is reviewed by Antonello Tolve.
