Stefano Canto's 'Concrete Archive' at MATÈRIA GALLERY in Rome
Stefano Canto (Rome, 1974) presents 'Concrete Archive' at MATÈRIA GALLERY in Rome, running until July 30, 2016. The exhibition features sculptures combining pillar and vase forms, created by solidifying cement powder through melting an ice core. This process serves as a metaphor for human reality, balancing stability and transformation. Wall works include cement slabs with transferred pages from the 1960s magazine 'Epoca', depicting pristine locations like the Dolomites and Tahiti. The show is accompanied by newsletters on art market trends, urban regeneration, and cultural tourism.
