Macuga, David, Varga Weisz: Three Artists on the Fragmentation of Objectivity in Florence

exhibition · 2026-05-04

The Galleria Gentili in Florence is hosting a group exhibition featuring Goshka Macuga, Enrico David, and Paloma Varga Weisz, three artists who explore the dissolution of objectivity. Macuga's philosopher busts, arranged like a constellation, emphasize the power of human thought, symbolized by flowers and fruits. David's work oscillates between abstraction and surrealism, juxtaposing orderly geometric spaces inspired by de Chirico with the chaos of modern society. Varga Weisz's limewood sculptures evoke African fetishes, blending surreal, primitive, and modernist tones as metaphors for a reality mediated by the supernatural.
