Three Artists Explore the Concept of Home in Turin
In Turin, the exhibition at Société Interludio features artists Giuseppe Abate (Bari, 1987), Bea Bonafini (Bonn, 1990), and Ottavia Plazza (Alessandria, 1992), who delve into modern interpretations of home, identity, and interpersonal connections. The concept of home is depicted as a space of 'incidences'—shared experiences occurring on the same level. Plazza's artworks transform gallery dimensions through unusual viewpoints, infusing color with personal and contextual significance. Bonafini fuses painting, tapestry, and sculpture to construct a fragmented 'living language' that reflects new mythologies. Meanwhile, Abate utilizes embroidery, fabric, clay, and graphite to critique consumer culture and mass media, reshaping domestic space into a venue for exploring contemporary, deconstructed ideas of home and society.
