Giuseppe Di Liberto's First Solo Show at Galleria Poggiali, Milan
Giuseppe Di Liberto, born in Palermo in 1996, is showcasing his inaugural solo exhibition, titled 'Così tentammo di aspettare la fine', at Galleria Poggiali in Milan, running until September 13, 2024. This follows his involvement in 'Sacro è' (2024) at Fondazione Merz and 'Dopodomani' (2023) at the Quadriennale di Roma. Drawing inspiration from a residency in Sète, France, the exhibition includes sculptures, paintings, installations, and performances that delve into themes of absence and death within Mediterranean culture, particularly focusing on ex-voto artifacts. A discussion featuring Di Liberto and others is scheduled for September 12, 2024, at 6:30 PM, where he will also share insights about upcoming projects, including a group exhibition at Galleria Mazzoli in Modena. The ambiance of the exhibition is enhanced by light and sound designed by Federico Pipia.
