For the final chapter of the Project Room<\/em> 2017<\/strong>, curated by Simone Menegoi<\/strong>, from November 15<\/b> to December 20<\/b> the Foundation<\/b> hosts the first solo exhibition in Italy of Bruno Botella<\/strong> (1976), one of the most original artists to emerge on the French scene in recent years.<\/p>\n

Botella will present a selection of works created between 2012 and 2017<\/strong>, characterized \u2013 as always in his artistic practice \u2013 by a strongly experimental spirit, both in the use of new materials and techniques, and in the frequent focus on the process rather than the result.<\/p>\n

Focusing his attention on sculpture, Botella subverts and reinvents traditional processes, producing results that equally embody provocation, humor, and a subtle vein of cruelty. Among the exhibited works are Qotrob<\/i> (2012), a plasticine mixed with psychoactive substances capable of causing hallucinations to anyone attempting to mold it; Prognosticator<\/i> (2017), a sculpture immersed in an aquarium full of leeches, which Botella shaped while simultaneously feeding the animals with his own blood; Oborot<\/i> (2012), a silicone cast of the artist\u2019s head with his own hair still attached, a sort of bizarre and bloodless \u201cscalp.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\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
