‘Dead End’

a project by Sara Serighelli

Artist’s talks:  7pm in the LeRoy Neiman Gallery
Lidia Sanvito:  Friday,  5 October

The works  and text in the show have a tension in common: the fear of not having deeply understood, of being in a system that is going towards short circuit, that pushes to find a way out a solution that might not exist. (more…)
