The House of the Hermit on the Naviglio<\/em><\/strong> by Caroline Mesquita<\/strong> is the second appointment of the Project Room<\/em> 2019<\/strong>, a series of exhibitions focused on the research<\/strong> and production<\/strong> of artists under 40<\/strong> who are innovatively exploring sculpture, curated this year by guest curator<\/em> Clo\u00e9 Perrone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the collaboration with the Fonderia Nolana del Giudice<\/strong> in Naples, the Foundation has given the French artist Caroline Mesquita (1989, Brest) the opportunity to create a new monumental sculpture and to use new materials in her work, such as stone. The installation is indeed made of light beola \u2013 an ancient stone of Lombard origin that covers the entire surface of the Foundation's exhibition space \u2013 and objects in copper and brass, carefully selected by the artist.<\/p>\n

The exhibition stages the imaginary story of a hermit<\/strong> who lived in a stone hut that has survived over time and is now on display at the Foundation. The story tells that the city expanded around the hut, protecting this important refuge, symbolizing an alternative way of life based on withdrawal, isolation, and rejection of social norms. The House of the Hermit on the Naviglio<\/em><\/strong> thus becomes a metaphor for a way of life no longer accepted by society: an existence lived outside the logic of the system according to autonomous rules.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t
