Iginio Iurilli's Petroleum at CoArt Gallery in Corato
The CoArt Gallery in Corato, a new non-profit experimental space in Puglia, opens with the solo exhibition 'Petroleum' by Iginio Iurilli (born 1946 in Gioia del Colle). Curated by Isabella Battista and Alexander Larrarte, the show features a large ephemeral site-specific installation titled 'Detriti,' which uses black sand saturated with waste and debris to depict a post-apocalyptic landscape, highlighting environmental degradation. The exhibition also includes the series 'Oggi ho mangiato,' where fish skeletons are imprinted in clay, and preparatory studies in pencil and sanguine. The exhibition runs until May 17, 2016, at CoArt Gallery, Vico San Francesco 4/6.
