Abu Dhabi, solo exhibition by Marinella Senatore

The Italian Cultural Institute of Abu Dhabi will host, in collaboration with Galleria Mazzoleni, London-Turin, "I Contain Multitudes", Marinella Senatore's first solo exhibition in the United Arab Emirates.

The exhibition will be open to the public from 20 to 26 November, coinciding with Abu Dhabi Art, the prestigious annual fair, now in its 15th edition, promoted by Abu Dhabi Culture and the Department of Culture and Tourism of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

The works on display range from the artist's well-known lights to neon and collages. The lights look to Baroque architectural forms, particularly rose windows and portals, and become catalysts of energy aimed at celebrating individuals and communities. Neon lights, on the other hand, are the direct derivation of large light sculptures. Finally, enter the collages, a recurring technique of the artist and one of her most direct translations of personal and collective thought.

The introduction to the exhibition is by Claudio Cravero, Chief Curator of the Zayed National Museum.
