Vedovamazzei's Unsettling Works Recontextualized in Naples
The Italian artist duo Vedovamazzei presents 'ten more ten_ #9' at Galleria Umberto di Marino in Naples, featuring works from the past decade that revisit traumatic historical events. The exhibition recontextualizes pieces that were rarely exhibited or previously unseen, using irony and critical awareness to address events such as the 1995 Srebrenica massacre under UN inaction, Martin Amis's book 'Koba the Terrible: Laughter and the Twenty Million', and a black neon depiction of a deported Jewish child's doodle. The show runs until May 21, 2016, at Via Alabardieri 1.
