I Martedì Critici expand to Egypt with Aron Demetz
The Italian talk series I Martedì Critici, founded in 2009 by Alberto Dambruoso, will hold its first international edition on April 11, 2017, at the Italian Cultural Institute in Cairo. The event features South Tyrolean sculptor Aron Demetz (born 1972 in Vipiteno), known for his figurative wooden works that combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary experimentation, including the use of plant resins and combustion. Demetz's silent, monumental yet fragile figures explore themes of displacement and solitude. The series, which regularly hosts artists, architects, gallerists, art historians, and collectors, has previously been held at venues such as the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Royal Academy of Spain, and the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. The Cairo event is curated by Alberto Dambruoso and Paolo Sabbatini.
