Zodiaco: Davide Bertocchi's Anti-Curated Show Lands at Marsèlleria in Milan
The exhibition 'Zodiaco,' curated by Davide Bertocchi, is currently on display at Marsèlleria in Milan, marking its fourth location following Car Drde in Bologna (2014), Hopstreet Gallery in Brussels (early 2016), and Klemm's in Berlin (July 2016). This unique 'anti-curated' group exhibition features artists chosen based on their astrological signs, drawing inspiration from Gino De Dominicis's 1970 performance 'Lo Zodiaco' in Rome. Each zodiac sign is represented by a single artist, with the exception of Gemini and Pisces, which each feature two artists, while the 13th sign, Ophiuchus, is also included. The exhibition showcases 16 artists, such as Benoît Maire and Joris Van De Moortel, displaying both new and existing works. It is open until December 23, 2016, at Via Privata Rezia 2, Milan, highlighting Evariste Richer's notable piece 'Le Mètre Lunaire' (2012).
