Personal Jesus and Tempra: Two Exhibitions at IE edificio 57 in San Gimignano
IE edificio 57, an independent exhibition space in San Gimignano founded by Michelangelo Consani, presents two concurrent shows. 'Personal Jesus' features works by Consani and Davide Rivalta. Consani's bronze sculpture 'Un peso specifico da sollevare' depicts a Christ without arms or cross, suspended by steel cables. Rivalta's bronze chimpanzee sits opposite, creating a dialogue between religion, mythology, and animality. Upstairs, 'Tempra' showcases new works by Bekhbaatar Enkhtur, curated by Gabriele Tosi. Enkhtur's pieces blend symbols of superstition, faith, and secularism, including drawings on silver and brass repoussé, and sculptures made from beeswax mixed with cat litter sand. The exhibitions explore themes of human relationships, spirituality, and the animalistic nature of humanity.
