THEIA Gallery opens in Ancona with Massimo Baldini's 'Casa nostra'
THEIA Gallery, a new home gallery dedicated to photography, opens in Ancona on April 12, 2025. Founded by photographer Massimo Baldini, the space is named after the Greek goddess of sight. The inaugural exhibition, 'Casa nostra. Housing in Italy,' features fifty of Baldini's photographs exploring private dwellings and cultural identity, including elements like gardens, classical columns, and Renaissance references. The gallery aims to foster direct dialogue between artworks and visitors in an intimate home setting, and plans to host other cultural events. Baldini cites the freedom and personal connection of home galleries as his inspiration, contrasting them with bureaucratic public institutions and risk-averse traditional galleries. The exhibition runs until May 4, 2025, at Via Cadorna 4, Ancona.
