SRISA Gallery

You’re invited! Join us for the opening of a student-curated show, “Flesh of the Future: the tender machinery of existence, featuring works” by artists Laura Gelsomini, Roberto Orlando, and Evelyn Prophit.

This show creates a subaltern record of living towards utopia. Its focus centers the body, in its many forms: the idolized, abstracted, literal, and political. The body exists simultaneously as an individual and universal experience, as the vehicle that produces and views art. This tension acts as the thematic medium through which the exhibition functions as a resistant force against the rise of fascist censorship that we find ourselves living in. In creating this record, the body is shown in refuge from the twisted contortions of convention.

🇮🇹 ITA:

Laura Gelsomini, Roberto Orlando e Evelyn Prophit sono i protagonisti di “Flesh of the Future: the tender machinery of existence”, la mostra del corso di Curatorial Practices della SRISA.

La mostra propone una traccia alternativa verso l’utopia.
Il focus principale è il corpo in tutte le sue declinazioni: mitizzata, astratta, letterale, politica. Il corpo esiste simultaneamente sia come un’esperienza individuale e universale sia come il veicolo che produce e osserva l’arte. Questa tensione definisce lo spazio tematico della mostra, una dimensione di resistenza contro l’ascesa della censura imperialista all’interno della quale siamo immersi. Nel creare questa prospettiva verso l’utopia il corpo si mostra al di là delle distorsioni del canone.

What a night! Thank you to everyone who joined us last Thursday for the opening of Land Lines; Water Lines by Emily Arthur and Tasiwoo / Pau / Buffalo Song by John Hitchcock.

A special thank you to the artists, Emily and John , and to curator Adriana Barrios for bringing these exhibitions to life.

🖼️ On view through April 20
📍SRISA Gallery, Via San Gallo 53/R

SRISA Gallery is pleased to present two concurrent solo exhibitions featuring the artwork of University of Wisconsin–Madison Art Department Professors Emily Arthur and John Hitchcock. The exhibitions honor the longstanding partnership between UW–Madison and SRISA. This partnership reflects a commitment to contemporary art as a global conversation, one that values collaboration, critical inquiry, and learning beyond the classroom.

Together, Arthur and Hitchcock examine land as a place of connection, displacement,
and resilience. The collected works celebrate the land as a living archive, while positioning transformation as progression toward the future.

BHMF in collaboration with P420 at SRISA Gallery are excited to present the works of Victor Fotso Nyie in the solo exhibition Veglia, curated by BHMF | Opening February 11, 6:30 PM.

Veglia draws upon a multiple series of the artist’s work in ceramics to reflect upon notions of rest, sleeplessness and dreaming.

Framed by the theme of the eleventh edition of Black History Month Florence, Common Time, the works engage the histories and material culture of Pan African iconography while engaging personal connections to the artist’s family. For this first solo project in Florence, the space becomes a site where the materials of architectural construction are transcribed on the artist’s unique approach to figurative forms.

ITA:

BHMF presentano Veglia, una mostra personale dedicata all’artista Victor Fotso Nyie, che attinge a diverse serie di lavori in ceramica per riflettere sui concetti di riposo, insonnia e sogno.

Inquadrate nel tema dell’undicesima edizione di Black History Month Florence, Common Time, le opere affrontano la storia e la cultura materiale della iconografia panafricana, richiamando al contempo i legami personali con la famiglia dell’artista. Per questo primo progetto personale a Firenze, lo spazio diventa un luogo in cui i materiali da costruzione vengono trascritti sull’approccio unico dell’artista alle forme figurative.
