Iginio De Luca's chaotic decade-long survey at AlbumArte

exhibition · 2026-05-05

A dense, overwhelming survey of Iginio De Luca's work from the past ten years is on view at AlbumArte in Rome. The exhibition assembles audio, video, photographs, a neon installation, and electoral banners that spill out into the street, making the visitor an active participant. De Luca (born 1966 in Formia) is known for his provocative blitzes and political denunciations, and the show refuses to contain him neatly. The gallery space expands to include the Lazio coastline, the Campidoglio, the directorless Macro museum, and postcards from Arcore featuring a well-known director. The emotional impact is inescapable. The review by Raffaele Orlando, an archaeologist and Ministry of Culture official working at the Reggia di Caserta, emphasizes the artist's visionary commitment and the viewer's inevitable surrender to it.
