Paolo Ventura: Carousel

Curated by Walter Guadagnini, with the assistance of Monica Poggi, the exhibition traces the career of the artist who has been working as a fashion photographer, and moved to New York to dedicate himself to his artistic research in the early 2000s. After ten years in the United States, he returned to Italy where he undertook some of his most renowned projects, in which he mixed photography, painting, sculpture and theatre, such as the scenography for “Pagliacci” by Ruggero Leoncavallo.

The exhibition includes artworks in various media such as drawings, models, sets, papier-mâché masks and theatrical costumes. Also on show are two new projects: “Grazia Ricevuta” and the work that Paolo Ventura is carrying out following a residency at the Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo e la Documentazione in Rome, which originated thanks to the collaboration between CAMERA and the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism.
