Guerrilla Spam Takes Over Jesi's Underground with Gold Leaf Totems
The Tuscan street art collective Guerrilla Spam has transformed the USB Gallery in Jesi, an ancient cellar, into a crypt-like space for their latest exhibition. Moving away from their usual pervasive street postering, the group presents totemic installations blending tribal and underground aesthetics. A new use of gold leaf softens their typically raw, caricatural, and disturbing style into something harmonious, hieratic, and noble. The show's central theme is a plea for Europe to welcome Africa with understanding. The exhibition is reviewed by Valeria Carnevali.
