Paola Tassetti's Metamorphosis at Palazzo Buonaccorsi
Paola Tassetti (born 1984, Civitanova Marche), winner of the Premio Pannaggi – Nuova Generazione 2022, presents her solo exhibition Metamorphosis at Palazzo Buonaccorsi in Macerata. Curated by Paola Ballesi, the show draws from Ovid's Metamorphoses, exploring themes of nature, dwelling, and territory through ceramics, embroidery, tapestries, paintings, and sculptures. The exhibition integrates with the museum's historic rooms, featuring works like Oratorio lessicale, a triptych of quilted banners; Pigmentario metamorfico, a triangular floor installation of collected objects; and Metamorfosi ossili, a fossil-like display in a case. Tapestries hang from the veranda ceiling, overlooking the hills. Tassetti's practice, rooted in architecture and Italian landscape research, employs a poikilia of techniques to recode elements under the unifying sign of metamorphosis.
