Lucia Veronesi

Curated by Cristina Costanzo

Lucia Veronesi's research, which intertwines references to weaving and botany, encounters the history of Gibellina starting from a garden-museum designed for the city by Piero Burzotta and Giuseppe Barbera but never built. The residency takes an interdisciplinary approach, combining contemporary art and landscape architecture: by studying the Mediterranean garden and the colours and geometries inspired by the paintings of Paul Klee and Robert Delaunay, the artist will create a textile work that draws on the tradition of prìsenti and a new garden for an abandoned urban area. The project combines visual language, botany and memory, transforming a marginal space into a place of shared care.
