Juan Zamora's First Italian Solo Show at AlbumArte

exhibition · 2026-05-05

AlbumArte in Rome hosts 'ORA (bajo al cielo de la boca)', the first Italian solo exhibition by Spanish artist Juan Zamora (born 1982, Madrid). Curated by Paola Ugolini in collaboration with the Real Academia de España en Roma, the show gathers works produced during the artist's residencies. The title references Benedictine monastic life ('Ora et Labora') and the palate as the place where speech takes form. Zamora's minimalist poetics emerge through small details, materials, and sketches scattered throughout the space.
