Matteo Fato's Dual Exhibitions at Monitor Gallery in Rome and Pereto
Monitor Gallery is hosting two exhibitions featuring Matteo Fato in Rome and Pereto, Abruzzo, both inspired by Gianni Garrera's concept "La verità è tutto ciò che abbiamo dimenticato." In Rome, the exhibition titled "L’immagine precede la Natura?" displays intimate pieces from 2022-2023, such as "Il paradiso è guardare per sempre una cosa senza toccarla" and "Tigra." Meanwhile, in Pereto, "Gli occhi non sono carne ma stelle," which runs until November 26, showcases works from 2012-2023, including a site-specific installation and a new engraving section. This exhibition emphasizes Fato's evolving color palette and features the sculpture "In ragione della verità" (2019–2023), alongside an installation in a cistern that merges images with Garrera's voice.
