Raffaele Busseti, through his pictorial series &#8220;reflections on transience&#8221;, explores the decay of form, blurring the boundaries between physical and phenomenal reality. Francesco Bux, with his pictorial series &#8216;Tales from the Unconscious&#8217;, aims to represent and confront emotional decay. RetroGuard, in collaboration with the artists, curated this exhibition with the intention of exploring and narrating the contemporary social and environmental context through different art forms.<br \/>\nPaolo Calabrese, with &#8220;no.16&#8221;, enriches the experience of the exhibition by sonorising it with an investigation into the concepts of presence and silence in contemporary tumult. Susangela Saracino, through her sculptural series &#8216;EPIDEMIC n\u00b01&#8217;, explores biological alteration and deterioration.<br \/>\nFinally, <strong>artist and RUFA student Chantal Spapens<\/strong>, with her performance &#8220;AFTER &#8216;LA VELATA'&#8221;, shows the struggle against feminine standards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The exhibition will be open to the public from 24 to 26 September, from 19:00 to 22:00.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Location<\/strong><br \/>\nCastello Caracciolo<br \/>\nSammichele di Bari, Piazza Caracciolo, 1, (BA)<br \/>\nOpening hours<br \/>\nSunday to Tuesday 7-10 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vernissage<\/strong><br \/>\n24 September 2023, H 7PM<\/p>\n<p><strong>Authors<\/strong><br \/>\nChantal Spapens<br \/>\nArianna Ancona<br \/>\nRaffaele Busseti<br \/>\nFrancesco Bux<br \/>\nEloisa Calabrese<br \/>\nPaolo Calabrese<br \/>\nClara Putignano<br \/>\nSusangela Saracino<br \/>\nCuratore<br \/>\nArturo Dreg<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>About Chantal Spapens<\/h3>\n<p>Chantal Spapens is a French\/Dutch visual artist, working in performance and sculpture\/installation.<br \/>\nChantal has been traveling and living as an expatriate for 30 years, and is currently living and working in Rome while completing her Master&#8217;s degree at RUFA &#8211; Rome University of Fine Arts.
