Iginio De Luca's Voyager-Inspired Exhibition at Marina Bastianello Gallery

exhibition · 2026-04-27

The Marina Bastianello Gallery in Mestre is hosting 'Tanti auguri e saluti,' the first solo exhibition of Iginio De Luca (born 1966 in Formia), curated by Pietro Gaglianò. The show presents the artist's most representative works across visual and audio channels. On one side, a structure of innocent tubes accumulates large-format posters documenting De Luca's performative actions and blitzes. On the other, sounds from videos and performances continuously redefine themselves. The exhibition title references the Golden Record—a 12-inch disc with music and greetings in 55 languages launched aboard the Voyager space probes in 1977, traveling 40,000 years before possible reception. De Luca translates this suspended time into a reflection on public and private space, anchored at the boundaries of visible/invisible, personal/political, comic/tragic.
