Pino Boresta's Altered Election Posters at Rome's Bianco Contemporaneo

On October 11, the Bianco Contemporaneo gallery in Rome will kick off its first solo exhibition featuring Pino Boresta, a notable Roman artist born in 1962. Boresta is recognized for his unique style and influence in street art, drawing from Situationist performances. The exhibition is titled M.E.R.d.A. Manifesti Elettorali Rettificati da Asporto and includes political posters that Boresta has rescued from election-related walls and billboards. He has artistically altered these posters with his own facial expressions in various colors and sizes, inviting viewers to engage with modern political themes through both well-known and obscure figures. Additionally, a video, curated by Luca Carrazza and edited by Andrea Fiorentini, showcases Boresta's creative process and features insights from critics and artists like Laura Cherubini and Egidio Emiliano Bianco.
