Chiara Camoni: Call and gather. Sisters. Moths and flame twisters. Lioness bones, snakes and stones.

Pirelli HangarBicocca, Via Chiese, 2, Milan, Italy

The exhibition, curated by Lucia Aspesi and Fiammetta Griccioli, brings together the largest body of works ever presented by Chiara Camoni and, together with a series of new pro­ductions, gives life to an architecture of collectivity and memory, whose forms are inspired by the Italian gardens of the late Renaissance and the ancient am­phitheaters. The symmetrical and radial design of the floor plan creates corri­dors and rooms, paths and environments that divide the space into areas where visitors can linger or converse.

 

This large installation houses numerous other works by the artist, including a great selection of polychrome and glazed terra­cotta sculptures, such as the anthropomorphic figures from the Sisters series (2017-23) and the “Butterfly Vases” (2020-22), a reinterpretation of Egyptian canopic jars. Alongside sculptural islands, such as the ceramic floor tiles Pavi­mento (For Clarice) (2021) and the curtains made of vegetal prints of Untitled (a Tent) (2019), visitors will find new figurative works in onyx, leccese stone, and aluminum that draw on the vocabulary of medieval bestiaries.
