Eating a vegan sandwich on the train while listening to country music

8.7.–30.9.2022
The group exhibition curated by Francesco Giaveri
Eating a vegan sandwich on the train while listening to country music is the fourth in a series of five exhibitions celebrating the tenth anniversary of L21 gallery. Curated in collaboration with Francesco Giaveri, each group exhibition is articulated around a part of the human body and a series of literary texts, establishing connections between the visual and the word. On this occasion, Cormac McCarthy’s writing is chosen to explore the importance of the knee, going “to the bone” and its movement.
“We’re going to be okay, aren’t we Papa?
Yes. We are.
And nothing bad is going to happen to us.
That’s right.
Because we’re carrying the fire.
Yes. Because we’re carrying the fire”.
(excerpt from Cormac McCarthy: The Road)
