4.Romina Giuliani – Loopholes from everyday life

Chimera-Project Gallery presents Romina Giuliani as the winner of the Chimera Art Award 2016 with her solo exhibition: “Loopholes from everyday life”. Her work arose from her ongoing interest in the investigation of identity and subjectivity with their oscillations between contrived and authentic desires, human fears and ambiguities. The exhibition is formed by heterogeneous interventions and installations through the space. The title of the exhibition encompasses the topic of caducity and uncertainty of life with all weakness, equivocations and vagueness that it includes.

Address: 1072. Budapest Klauzár Square 5.

Available: From 28^th

The exhibition shows 148 paintings, posters, statues, collages and contemporaneous journals, which introduce the ebullient, dynamical and initiative city. Beside of these arts there will be several film screenings and two paintings from Béla Kádár, which the Hungarian public couldn’t see for almost a century.
