Simone Monsi's First Solo Show Explores Radical Lightness in Piacenza
Simone Monsi (born 1988 in Piacenza) presents his first solo exhibition, featuring everyday objects that strip away the weight of dwelling. The show includes works such as 'Spero che questo trasloco sia l’ultimo,' which transforms the lightness of moving into radical permanence, and 'You Look Like This Guy I Know,' where dozens of purple balloons with smiley emoticons move autonomously. A portrait gallery titled 'Your Fan Club Can’t Save You' reveals creatures born from the remnants at the corners of eyes. Critic and curator Ginevra Bria, specialized in Latin American contemporary art and affiliated with Isisuf – Istituto Internazionale di Studi sul Futurismo di Milano, contributes to the review.
