Materia Madre/Lingua Madre Group Exhibition at Galleria Erica Ravenna, Rome

On May 12, 2026, Galleria Erica Ravenna in Rome opens 'Materia Madre/Lingua Madre', a group exhibition curated by Benedetta Carpi De Resmini featuring artists Cyril de Commarque, Laura Pugno, Gaia Scaramella, and Lucia Veronesi. Running through September 30, 2026, the show explores matter as a generative element and language as continuous translation. The exhibition is structured as an evolving landscape where nature is an active force. Cyril de Commarque presents works on paper and a wooden sculpture incorporating environmental data and pre-human visions. Laura Pugno's 'Persuasioni' series uses sand as pictorial material, referencing the Venetian coast and Bibione. Lucia Veronesi's 'The plants you kill are doing quite well' uses monotypes and embroidery to give visibility to supposedly extinct species. Gaia Scaramella's 'Matribus' series features small anthropomorphic ceramic figures suspended between birth and fall. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalog with critical text by Benedetta Carpi De Resmini and poems by Valerio Magrelli.
