Ludovica Gioscia's The Peacock Stage at T-space Milano

Ludovica Gioscia (Rome, 1977; lives in London) presents The Peacock Stage, her first series of solo exhibitions, at T-space Infinito Presente in Milan. The show occupies three basement rooms, referencing the Peacock stage, a small experimental theater added to Dublin's Abbey Theatre in the late 1920s, founded by Edward Martyn and W. B. Yeats. At the entrance, overlapping stage backdrops (Portal 1 and Portal 2) move as the door opens, with air filtering through and rippling the entire exhibition via transparent veils. These veils stretch, thicken, crumple, tear, and solidify according to narrative priorities, dilating and thinning to reveal another world, increasingly high, distant, and otherworldly. The exhibition explores new structural approaches. Ginevra Bria, art critic and curator at Isisuf – International Institute of Futurism Studies in Milan, contributed to the text.
