un-existing body: Stefano Ciannella and Keaton Fox @ Rialto
Body is the first inhabited place, it is the beginning of experimentation and knowledge, it is the proof for our own existence and our own being; it is also the first known and perceived limit. Hence, it is the first space hosting the interaction and clash in the research and self-assertion of identity. In Stefano Ciannella and Keaton Fox’s works, physical presence is sublimated by non-presences, which at the same time mark its transit. Both works, by employing different perspectives, investigate inner intimate universes, as past transitions, through the absence of body. The misplacement of

Sam3 – Monumental @ Wunderkammern
Wunderkammern is delighted to present Monumental, the first solo show in Italy by acclaimed Spanish artist Sam3. Sam3 (Elche, Spain, 1980) lives and works between Murcia and Madrid.

Art Parks. A Tour of America’s Sculpture Parks and Gardens.
Since a few decades, we are witnessing the birth of several sculpture parks or sculpture gardens all over the world and especially in the USA. These amazing open-air contemporary art museums give credit not only to the old European legacy of gardens in Renaissance villas (these were, indeed, parks with contemporary sculptures!), but especially to the more recent example of Land Art and its site-specific works, which often modified the geography of the location selected by artists. The reason why this phenomenon can be considered typical in the US goes back to the enormous natural areas

Jef Aérosol – Anony(fa)mous @ Wunderkammern
Wunderkammern presents Anony(fa)mous, the first Italian solo show by celebrated French artist Jef Aérosol. Jean-François Perroy, better known by his pseudonym Jef Aérosol (1957, Nantes), is an uncontested pioneer of international street art. Without discrimination, he creates portraits of public figures and notorious personas, of anonymous characters, street artists, passersby, beggars, and children alike: all are preferably depicted in black and white, and characterized by an enigmatic red arrow, the artist’s renown signature and “brand”. Actors in the contemporary visual panorama, Jef’s protagonists seem, ultimately, to all look alike, as if both the consequence and
