PrimaLinea: Rome's Independent Art Space Expands, Celebrates Three Years with Group Show
PrimaLinea, an independent art venue in Rome established by Eliseo Sonnino Di Laudadio (born 1984), is set to grow by acquiring a new location on the same street. Originally his private studio, it began hosting exhibitions in 2020. The exhibition celebrating its three-year anniversary, titled "Riunione di condominio" (September 2023), showcased artists highlighting expressive diversity influenced by Fukinsei. Previous notable exhibitions include "Ferrovia" by Albertism, "Migrantes Valientes" by Pablo Allison, Riccardo D’Avola Corte's "In my darkest hour," and Elia900's "Un’anomala normalità." A solo exhibition featuring Ak2deru is planned for November 2023. Additionally, PrimaLinea is involved in public murals in Valle Aurelia and an installation named "Autumna" at Villa Carpegna, evolving into an artistic-curatorial collective.
