At the Rocca dei Rossi in San Secondo Parmense from 5 September 2020 it will be possible to visit the exhibition by Antonella De Nisco, “Wounds, vices and virtues”, curated and promoted by Quadrilegio, an association that for eight years has animated, with the contemporary art, an entire district of the historic center of Parma.
The exhibition brings together a series of works created in recent years through the intertwining of natural and waste materials in which the artist deals with the theme of the “wound”, understood in its most human meaning, closely linked to personal suffering, but also invested with a metaphorical meaning referring to the history of places that survive despite indifference or neglect. Places that continue to amaze us and whose neglected beauty invites us to take care of them.
In the courtyard of honor, the audience is welcomed by a wound that alludes to a passage / slit: a large textile work made of jute sacks mended using different yarns and wicker. This is followed by the works installed in dialogue with the frescoes and along the entire tour of the palace.
The exhibition will open on Saturday 5 September and will continue until the end of the 2020 cultural season, on 8 December.
