Meital Katz-Minerbo's 'The Invisibility of Plants' at The Gallery Apart in Rome
Israeli artist Meital Katz-Minerbo (b. 1974) returns to The Gallery Apart in Rome with a new project titled 'The Invisibility of Plants,' following her first solo show 'Portraits of Object' in 2008. The exhibition transforms the gallery into a suspended, imaginary space where a theatrical action is slowed by anticipation. Central to the work is 'Cactus Man,' a chameleonic entity that adapts to reshape, plagiarize, and corrupt, evoking the precarious existence of multinational corporations in countries they exploit. Katz-Minerbo's world—political and poetic, ethical and aesthetic—is marked by post-capitalism and bodily corruption, offering a grotesque, ironic reading of the present.
