“Diario Notturno. Di sogni, incubi e bestiari immaginari”, is the collective exhibition curated by Bartolomeo Pietromarchi with Chiara Bertini and Fanny Borel, showcasing the works of thirteen international artists born in the last three decades of the last century: Bea Bonafini, Thomas Braida, Guglielmo Castelli, Giulia Cenci, Caterina De Nicola, Anna Franceschini, Diego Marcon, Wangechi Mutu, Valerio Nicolai, Numero Cromatico, Agnes Questionmark, Jon Rafman, and Alice Visentin. Additionally, there is a special project by Giuseppe Stampone in dialogue with the photographs of Scanno from the Franco and Serena Pomilio Collection.
“Diario Notturno,” which pays homage in its title to one of the literary masterpieces by Ennio Flaiano, invites viewers to dwell in dreams and explore the nightmares of the present. In a contemporary context marked by constant transformations, the participating artists propose a shared imaginative, ironic, or disturbing approach, which, borrowing a term from artificial intelligence, could be defined as “generative.
