Germinazioni

Germinazioni, curated by Mattia Lapperier at Galleria Studio Cenacchi in Bologna, brings the work of Filippo Maestroni and Paolo Migliazza into dialogue through a shared exploration of resilience, matter as a field of forces, and life’s inexorable drive to persist in the face of the adversities of our time. Inspired by the sculptural legacy of Carlo Zauli, and particularly by the dramatic tension that characterises his work of the 1980s, the exhibition develops around a formal and conceptual analogy: the parallel between the growth of spontaneous vegetation in hostile environments and puberty as a threshold in human development.

The opening on Thursday 24 September at 6 pm will feature a sound intervention by Alceste Neri. A few minutes’ walk from the gallery, Studio La Linea Verticale will simultaneously open a three-person exhibition featuring works by Filippo Maestroni from a different phase of his practice. The two exhibitions will open at the same time.
