Materia
Rosenfeld Porcini Gallery, London, July - September 2019
Rosenfeld porcini is pleased to present Materia, the gallery’s second themed exhibition this year. Featuring the work of 17 international artists, ‘Materia’ reflects on the idea of hierarchy of materials, historically a cornerstone, yet today made obsolete by the radical ‘democratisation’ of media which took places across the last century. Attempting to offer a glimpse on the ever more blurred line of demarcation between art and design, the exhibition juxtaposes practices based on the use of traditional materials with works which have only recently achieved the status of contemporary art.
