Paola Risoli's 'Original Act' at Shazar Gallery in Naples
Paola Risoli (Milan, 1969) presents 'Questo Atto originale' at Shazar Gallery in Naples, an exhibition rooted in the philosophical concept of 'verum et factum reciprocantur' from Giambattista Vico, whose former home is near the gallery. The show continues a trajectory begun in 2014 with 'I choose knowledge,' exploring the pursuit of truth through knowledge. Works include a nun in temptation, cobblestones reflecting city lights, and a labyrinth of lines and words, all leading to the artist's clear choice: 'Ich waehle die Kenntnis' (I choose knowledge). The exhibition is curated by Antonello Tolve.
