Rome: The river, the city and the passage of time.

The relationship between a river, its city, and the passage of time has never been closer than in Rome. An experimental artistic space in the heart of Trastevere that sits precisely where an ancient, miraculous fountain of oil once erupted. An art curator and writer who traces stories at the crossroads of culture and science. The exhibition RVO transforms Spazio Supernova into a contemporary landscape of fluid memory. Time and history meet in an unexpected setting, concocted through the language of art. Artists Luca Di Luzio and Edoardo Servadio play with the imagery and historical symbols of the Tiber River in a two-person show curated by Fabio Sindici.

A Roman Journey at Antica Libreria Cascianelli

An artist obsessed with maps, flags, the footprints of space and time. An antique bookshop in the heart of Rome that looks as popping out from Balzac’s novel The Magic Skin. An art curator and travelling reporter who thinks that all the places you can imagine are real. The exhibition Journey Analogue comes from this combination of people and places. Luca Di Luzio artworks transforms Antica Libreria Cascianelli - just behind Navona square and beside the entrance of the archaelogical site of Domitian Stadium – in a contemporary wunderkammer, with the help of stage designer Valentina La Rocca (Libreria Cascianelli co-owner) and art writer Fabio Sindici. The title pays homage to Renè Daumal’s unfinished novel Mount Analogue, a surrealist chronicle of an impossible journey. The result is an art installation conceived both as hide and seek game and exploration in a parallel universe.
