Lulù Nuti's 'Tre corpi' Echoes Louise Bourgeois at Fondazione D'ARC
At Fondazione D'ARC in Rome, artist Lulù Nuti (born 1988, Rome) presents 'Tre corpi', a solo exhibition running from 2025. The show features mostly metallic works interspersed within the Giovanni and Clara Floridi collection. Notable pieces include the 'I Fruitori' series, a pentagonal cycle in resin and brass documented along the Tiber River; 'Hysteria', a nearly three-meter-high arachnoid installation of crossed bays that curator Giuliana Benassi describes as 'seems just fallen from a bitchy moon', evoking Bourgeois's 'Maman'; and 'Inferiata' (2021-2025), vertical iron bars with galvanized plane leaves acting as gates that filter views of other artworks. Nuti, who lives between Rome and Paris, explores connections between humans and nature, reflecting social and political dynamics through ancestral forms. The exhibition references Bourgeois's 'Femme Volage' (1951) in its use of raw materials, varied media, and slender archetypal forms. The show follows Galleria Borghese's 2024 homage 'Louise Bourgeois. L'inconscio della memoria'.
