At GAMeC Bergamo, two concurrent exhibitions run until November 13, 2016.

In Spazio Zero, Carlo Benvenuto's solo show 'Scala 1:1', curated by Giacinto Di Pietrantonio, presents analog photographic works that mimic classical painting via multiple exposures on a single negative, alongside Bic pen drawings with a pop aesthetic. Subjects include 1:1 scale objects, pastries, candied cherries, and floral compositions.
