Language Games Exhibition at Studio Franca, Cannara

The group exhibition 'Language Games' at Studio Franca in Cannara, curated by Jo Melvin, brings together six artists—Keith Arnatt, Gene Beery, Jeff Gibbons, Fabio Giorgi Alberti, Marco Raparelli, and Nyla van Ingen—whose works explore the intersection of image and text, language as play, and the transformation of space into an integral artwork. The show is structured around a polymedia vision that absorbs transitions and translations, with Barthes' metaphor of the raincoat as a conceptual anchor. Melvin notes that painting interrogates literalness and tradition, and that ideas from critical reflective practices are not medium-specific, allowing film to inform painting and vice versa. The exhibition is viewable by appointment only.
