Boccanera Gallery is delighted to present Nel grembo materno (Inside the Womb), the group exhibition to be held at its premises in Trento from 22st December 2022 to 25th February 2023 with the aim of following up on the recent exhibition proposal by curator Cecilia Alemani for the 59th Venice Biennale entitled The Milk of Dreams.
The group exhibition aims to highlight female entrepreneurial activity in art and its ‘visionary’ intuitions. Gallerist Giorgia Lucchi Boccanera invites a number of Italian and foreign contemporary art galleries to participate in this project. These galleries have built up a relationship of mutual esteem during their activity or shared with her part of their development and taste for discovery.
Nel grembo materno represents the dual essence of the gallery owner’s role, as both entrepreneur and ‘mother’ of her artists, supporting their research and their most visionary projects. The partner galleries are thus called upon to exhibit one of their artists, whose poetics may be described – or has been described in the past – as outside the box and capable of contributing to a significant change in contemporary artistic production.
The project also aims to activate a meaningful dialogue between the local context and the most innovative contemporary artistic production, going beyond the metropolitan boundaries (in which art conventionally moves) and promoting stimulating new couplings.
On the occasion of Nel grembo materno, Boccanera Gallery presents the artworks of Linda Carrara, Veronica de Giovanelli and Debora Hirsch: ‘visionary’ female artists, discovered by the gallery owner herself by virtue of their peculiar way of approaching and reproducing the reality that surrounds them.
