Guillermina De Gennaro's 'Inglobe' at ShowCase in Polignano a Mare
Guillermina De Gennaro, an Argentine-born artist based in Bari, presents 'Inglobe' at the ShowCase exhibition series in Polignano a Mare, Italy. The project, curated by Nicola Zito and hosted by the Associazione La Corte, explores the tension between nature and culture through a 'green' lens. Central to the installation is a photograph of an invasive vine engulfing a building, symbolizing nature's relentless reclamation of human-made environments. The exhibition spans multiple media, including video and installation, featuring small-scale sets where classical busts are entwined with creeping plants, suggesting a fragile reconciliation. De Gennaro's work proposes that classical culture might offer a reliable, albeit threatened, foundation to counter habitat alteration. ShowCase is an open call for local galleries to curate projects in the museum's Project Room.
