L’apocalisse dell’ora (The Apocalypse of Now), a personal exhibition by Alessandro Giannì, opens at AlbumArte – independent space for contemporary art in Rome on Tuesday June 18, 2019. The body of pictorial and sculptoral works is exhibited for the first time. The exhibition is curated by Lorenzo Gigotti and will remain open to the public until July 19, 2019.
In his work, Alessandro Giannì collects aesthetic fragments of social networks and the Internet with the intention of giving them a new existence. In this research there is a rigorous “image economy”. In his works the analogical practice of the painting merges with the use of new media, with the Internet and digital culture investigating the connections between the digital universe, parallel universes and the dreamlike and introspective world of human beings. In his artistic practice, he reuses the symbols of art history to create other landscapes and other images attributable to an indefinite age, causing a short circuit.
