Santiago Cucullu's Ceramic Repetitions at Umberto di Marino
Santiago Cucullu (Buenos Aires, 1969) presents 'The new old days' at Umberto di Marino gallery in Naples, featuring ceramic everyday objects with scenes from collective imagery and large wall drawings with instinctual, neurotic lines. The small objects, scattered like graphic novel panels, show cracks and signs from multiple firings, aiming to create contemporary archaeological artifacts. Cucullu's historiographic impulse seeks to intimately narrate daily life without presuming to write history.
