Giovanni Anselmo, Lothar Baumgarten, Jason Dodge, Lara Favaretto, Gabriel Kuri, Phillip Lai, Jac Leirner, Robert Mapplethorpe, Paulo Nazareth, Christodoulos Panayiotou, Simon Starling

Galleria Franco Noero is pleased to present l’acqua, part of a series of exhibitions on the theme of water held in international galleries as a common project, named Galleries Curate: RHE.

The artists invited to participate are: Giovanni Anselmo, Lothar Baumgarten, Jason Dodge, Lara Favaretto, Gabriel Kuri, Phillip Lai, Jac Leirner, Robert Mapplethorpe, Paulo Nazareth, Christodoulos Panayiotou, Simon Starling.

Galleries Curate is an informal group of contemporary galleries from around the world, formed as a result of the universally felt global crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic. The coalition focuses on a supportive sense of community and cooperative interactions through collaborative exhibitions designed to express the dynamic dialogue between our individual programs.

RHE is the first chapter of this collaboration, an exhibition and website themed around a universal and, we hope, unifying subject: water. Like culture, water is never static but always in flux.

With thanks to Galleria Tucci Russo, Torre Pellice/ Torino and Rodeo Gallery, Athens/London for the kind collaboration.
