On the occasion of the group show Farewell to the Stage. Tools for reassembly (on view until the 8th of November), Artopia is hosting a guided tour with exhibition curator Arnold Braho on Thursday 24th October at 6.30pm.

The exhibition project presents the works of Ornella Cardillo, Giuseppe Lo Cascio, Ludovico Orombelli, Alice Peach and Matteo Pizzolante and aims to investigate the structures of staging, namely devices supporting the concept of "showing". From the stage to the archive, from the pictorial image to the idea of the module, up to the exhibition itself, the focus is on activating the gallery space as a subject, emphasising the perspective points of its architectural features. From its very title, the exhibition suggests the idea of a farewell to the stage, of a reduction of the "stage" as a load-bearing structure: a machine of the world and history seen through a lens capable of highlighting each of its individual cogs.
