Loredana Longo's 'Piedediporco' at Francesco Pantaleone Gallery, Milan
Loredana Longo (Catania, 1967) presents her solo exhibition 'Piedediporco' at Francesco Pantaleone Gallery in Milan, featuring sculptures and a performance video that explore contradictions, violence, and irony. The title, a metaphor for approximation and superficiality in her hometown, sets the tone for a reflection on present issues. The exhibition includes a wall of bricks with a golden fragment pierced by a crowbar, and a second room with sculptures on a rubble carpet, accompanied by a video of ceramic hands exploding in her studio. Concurrently, a monograph edited by Agata Polizzi and published by Gli Ori is released, spanning 20 years of her work across performance, tapestries, sculptures, and installations, with chapters by various critics and curators.
