José Yaque's Arno-Inspired Installations at Villa Pacchiani
Cuban artist José Yaque (born 1985) presents two major installations alongside paintings and drawings at Villa Pacchiani in Santa Croce sull'Arno, Italy. The works are shaped by the Arno River, which flows near the exhibition space, serving as a metaphor for human existence and its debris. The exhibition results from Yaque's residency in Santa Croce sull'Arno, made possible by the Know-how/Show-how project, a collaboration between the municipalities of Pisa and Santa Croce sull'Arno, Galleria Continua, Associazione Arte Continua, and, since this year, the waste management company Waste Recycling. The project aims to foster dialogue between art and territory.
