Slug Collective's Site-Specific Exhibition at Alchemilla in Bologna
The collective exhibition 'Tu mi chiami a compiere un atto d'amore' (You Call Me to Perform an Act of Love) opens at Alchemilla, an experimental art space in Palazzo Vizzani, Bologna. The show features site-specific works by members of the Slug collective, including Nicola Bianco, Riccardo De Biasi, Kenny Alexander Laurence, Rebecca Momoli, Marco Resta, and Camilla De Siati. Each artist explores personal and collective themes: Bianco uses pink caramel to sublimate trauma; De Biasi conducts an archaeological study of the Borgo Africa community; Laurence reinterprets Antillean imagery; Momoli critiques monuments and shifts focus to the female figure; Resta distorts the body; and De Siati constructs a new idea of the female body through the dreamlike. The exhibition aims to evoke emotions and foster a shared catharsis between artists and viewers, abandoning rationality in favor of sentiment. It runs in 2023 at Alchemilla, Bologna.
